Homebase: Miami, FL DESIGNER: Deborah Soriano Sizes: 2 to 16 years; Wholesale prices: $34-$40 Soriano cast her net wide for 2012 with sexy shapes and prints that hit every trend from nautical to nostalgic, Indonesian to tie-dye, and plenty of paisleys and animal patterns too.
Outstanding Pieces: There's a bit of the 1930s beach beauty in these campy pieces. The lace motif and scattering of sequins updates an Asian-inspired pattern in a gorgeous periwinkle and deep coral combination.

Homebase: New York DESIGNER: Sandra Stollar Sizes: S to Junior 4; Wholesale prices: $10-$22 Activewear can be too glitzy or too drab and utilitarian. Ambition's collection fits and flatters, the colors are vibrant without being loud, and the patterns are edgy. Just as important, the material's breathable and allows a girl to really move.
Outstanding Piece: Stollar's 11-year-old daughter who inspired the line, wears the Spandex and Lycra Racer Back Tank Top and Capri. See how well the pieces fit.
