Designer Bonnie Young Highlights NYC Children's Fashion Week

by JILL LYNNE


Designer Bonnie Young walks the runway with daughter (and muse).

On a recent Spring day, a crowd of smiling mothers and children flocked to the West Village's Industria Studios to view the new Collection of Designer Bonnie Young and frolic at the After-Party.

The occasion was sponsored by Bambini (the tres chic Italian children's fashion magazine), and featured tiny cupcakes by Baked By Melissa, assembled into an edible sculpture reading "Petite."

The delightful show presented adorable children ambling their way down a faux snow-laden-runway wearing lovely white and colorful ensembles, accessorized with oversized snow boots.

At a time, when all too frequently children are "sexualized" by being prompted to wear inappropriate adult gear, it is refreshing to see a designer whose fashions enhance childhood, instead of pushing wee ones away from it.
