SPECIAL OCCASION:
Homebase: Los Angeles, CA DESIGNER: Petty Yu Sizes: 6 months to 12 years; Wholesale prices: $28-$84 Petty Yu specializes in beautifully made, classic baptism, communion and flower girl dresses.
Outstanding piece: An artist would use pastels to draw this dress. It's that soft-focus, that dreamy. Tel: 888 728-8478 E-mail: Info@pattisbridal.com
T-SHIRTS:
Homebase: Brooklyn, NY DESIGNER: Jonathan Sharp Sizes: 6 months to 8 years; Wholesale prices: $12-$14 Sharp exhibited a collection of richly colored tees with original animal graphics. American Apparel makes the blanks so they have some heft.
Outstanding piece: Taming the T-Rex. Tel: 917 647-5699 E-mail: Jonathan@jusami.com
Homebase: Los Angeles, CA DESIGNER: Chara V. Josias and David Josias Sizes: 3 months to 4T; Wholesale prices: $14-$15 Peace symbols, Buddha, Marie Antoinette, Rock 'n Roll and Russian nesting dolls are just a few of the influences that inspired the Josiases. Their organic tees in pink, blue and earth tones, layer graphics with global friendly statements such as "I shut my eyes in order to see" (Paul Gauguin), and "The truth lies within."
Outstanding piece: The symbol is a Hamsah, meaning peace and protection. Add that to the rich tone and the profound saying, "The world is smaller than you think" and you have a message tee with the right message. Tel: 323 513-2556 E-mail: Chara@theyoung1s.com
NOVELTY:
Homebase: Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ DESIGNER: Adrianna Monted'oro Sizes: 2T to 16 years; Wholesale prices: $6-$10 What do you do for toddlers and tweens who love wearing dresses and like to have a good time playing as well? Monted'oro and partner Gina Guarnieri came up with a solution: QT Booty. Not underwear and not shorts, the QT Booty is a panty cover made of easy-care cotton knit blended with Spandex. It's soft and comfortable, not at all bulky, and is constructed for wedgie-free wear. The garment comes in three lengths, a range of colors from pastel to bright, and there are several prints and feminine trims too.
Outstanding pieces: QT Booty allows a girl to be feminine and active. Sold in 3-packs. Tel: 201 857-3705 E-mail: Chickyinck@aol.com
