JuJuBe Kids

JuJuBe Kids, Sofia Ven's collection of couture sportswear, is one to watch. She's careful with shape, crafting silhouettes that are architectural, feminine and a perfect match to the fabric. Take the Bow Cardigan. The sleeves have a twist and turn at the shoulder that lends body and a bit of width for drama, while the fabric suggests a jacket. It's a great piece to pair with a fanciful skirt, as she's done here. I'm a big fan of the Jean Arp-like Nestle Tunic with curved shapes dividing the canvas of the dress; and while the coral of the Tent Top is lovely, it's that deep scallop along the border that drives the design. The black and white pants add a bold graphic note. (Fits 3 to 8 years, $18-$33 wholesale). For more information, call 415-692-5280, or visit www.jujubegroup.com.
