TINA BARRY'S SPRING/SUMMER 2012 EDITOR'S PICK

 

KICOKIDS

 

Homebase: New York, NY

DESIGNER: Tia Cibani and Kitty Pu

Sizes: 2 to 12 years; Wholesale prices: $12-$85

 

Kicokids is having a "Slamapopsizzlesect" kind of season. They're "juxtaposing a dash of street culture, a sprinkling of high-tech, and a pinch of humor" into a skateboards and insect-inspired collection. They're waxing but not waning with linen and denim treated with a wax surface, blending high-tech with artisan techniques in hand knit jute and tulle pieces, and glow-in-the-dark reflective bonding is laser cut and hot fixed to vests and tees.

 

Outstanding Pieces: Color-blocking looks fresh in a waxed denim and cotton poplin wear-with-everything jacket. Ladybugs inspire the camp shirt's bright pattern.

 

 

No tutus here. Instead the designers weave strips of vivid tulle to fashion a couture dress.

 

 

In daylight, the jacket is all about subtle color and an unusual cocoon-like shape. In the dark (or shot with a flash), the piping glows like a firefly.
