August 9, 2012

The name Roksanda Ilincic is synonymous with effortlessly cool dressing. Think structural dresses and bold contrasting colour pallets, a winning combination which has made fans of some of the world’s best dressed women. Her beautifully crafted demi-couture dresses have received global popularity since débuting in London in 2005 and are now available for the littlest fashion fans. Roksanda Ilincic’s hotly anticipated collection for children has got the grownups talking with recent features on the websites of Vogue UK, Harpers Bazaar and The Telegraph.

Known as Blossom, this exciting new addition to the label retains all of its playful use of colour and shape that we have come to love. Some of the Blossom pieces have been taken directly from the adult collection.

Read on to find see some of Roksanda Ilincic’s famous fans wearing her creations.

Blossom has obvious links to the adult collection but is made specifically with little girls in mind. The line was inspired by Ilincic’s own daughter and she used brightly coloured lego blocks as a starting point for design. Look out for design features such as ruffles, contrast bindings and reverse detailing. Ilincic has used extra special fabrics to great effect. The children’s collection includes dresses in 100% wool, silk blends, and cupro fabric which breaths like cotton, drapes beautifully and feels like silk.

The Dutchess of Cambridge was also spotted out and about in a lovely powder blue Roksanda Ilincic design. The Dutchess famously champions British based designers and Roksanda Ilincic is one of her favourites. Catherine Middleton loved this dress so much; she was spotted in it twice!
