Chanel-Inspired Outfits For Little Girls – Kids’ Chanel

There’s something so darling about seeing kids in grown-up outfits.  Think little boys in suits and bowties or little girls in fancy dresses and hats for instance.  So when I see little girl’s outfit that reminds me of something I’d die to wear, it takes all the willpower in me not to nab it for little Juliet especially when it looks like Coco Chanel could have designed it herself!  Through the years, I have developed a special eye for spotting these Chanel-inspired outfits for my minifashionista and here, I will break down the 5 iconic Chanel elements to look out for to have your minifashionista lookin’ oh so chic!

  1. Quiltingchanel pop up, chanel store, chanel girl, chanel baby, baby chanel, chanel doll, coco chanel, coco chanel doll, girls chanel

    Quilting is pretty much synonymous with the brand.  The pictured outfits were bought through my Chinese wholesaler contacts and I love how they gave Juliet a classic, comfortable and elegant little look.

  2. Tweed / boucle’chanel fashion, chanel style, coco chanel, chanel for kids, kids chanel, chanel kids, baby chanel, chanel for baby, chanel kids fashion

    Look out for that nubby fabric, preferably paired with another Chanel element such as the camelia pin, or pearls as shown here.  I’ve had success finding these sorts of looks everywhere from brands like Janie and Jack, to Mayoral, Zara and Little Sara.

  3. Black and whitechanel looks, chanel fashion, chanel for kids, kids chanel, baby chanel

    Black and white is a timelessly chic combo that I’ve always loved.   It is classic to Chanel too.  Inspired by the austere black and white surroundings where Coco grew up, she used this mix of colors so much that it became “her” look.  It’s a sophisticated look for girls and with the right details (add any of the other components such as quilting or suiting for instance), and you’ve got a classic Coco look!

  4. Suiting Detailschanel purse, chanel suit, chanel style, chanel icons, chanel looks, karl lagerfeld for kids

    Coco Chanel was famous for translating menswear suiting details towards womenswear.  Think contrast trim pocket details, 2 piece skirt suits, bow add-ons..check out these adorable examples above.

  5. CC  chanel baby, chanel kids, minifashionista, chanel pop up, chanel store

    The interlocking CCs are recognizable worldwide and for kids, are found in unique, fashion-forward boutiques like Cool Kids Bklyn.

Think Pink with Alice Longyu Gao and PERICURA During NYFW

What better way to celebrate New York Fashion Week than to dress up and envelop yourself in pink, glitter and fur?  According to Juliet (whose favorite color is pink), there is no better way!  Upon entering this pink, pop-up paradise, created by Alice Longyu Gao, she declared that she “never wanted to leave.”  Can you see why?nyc art installation, nyc pop up, alice gao, pink room pink party, pink art, harajuku girl photo credit Lumia Nocito

And yes, we had to dress up to match the space and celebrate all things PINK! pink room pink art, nyc pop up, art installation, harajuku girl, harajuku party, Alice Longyu Gao

It was as if we were hanging out with Alice in wonderland – a wonderland, entitled PERICURA that the performance artist/DJ describes as being “deconstructed me.”  Loving girly glam myself, I felt quite at home amongst the glitter wall and thought the room was simply delightful! Rolling around on the pink shag carpeting, it was clear that Juliet felt quite at home too.  pink party, times square pop up, harajuku girl, cool nycThe sparkly room, inspired by beauty and instant photo booths from Japan, reminded us of our time exploring Harajuku, Japan an area and culture that Alice obviously subscribed to. 

The stunning installation was not just a piece of art turned selfie station though.  Special events and offerings included the reception party which we attended, DIY accessory making tutorials, celebrity hair styling by Kahh Spence from Kahh’s Shojo Manga Hair Station, 3D nail art by Mei Kawajiri of Mei’s Princess Nail Station, and Japaanese celebrity styling by Etsuna Otsuka of Etsuna’s Harajuku Apparel Atelier.  For schedule and pricing information, click here.

?s from Juliet


NAME and age? Alice Longyu Gao 23
HOW LONG DID THE ROOM TAKE TO SET UP?  Over a month

IS PINK YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?  I REALLY LIKE PINK.  I LIKE A LOT OF COLORS.  MY FAVORITE ALWAYS CHANGES.

?s from me


HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA AND THE NAME OF THE INSTALLATION?   PERICURA demonstrates the universe in my head. PERICURA is my response to people—what made me to be this Alice, what I am into and inspired by. Most
importantly, I collect and transformed my knowledge and creativity via everything inside PERICURA. PERICURA as a whole, I did it for myself and it is for everybody to explore.  The name and the concept of making PERICURA is #MeAnimated. I am inspired by the
traditional Japanese photo machine—“Purikura”. I see people’s obsession towards those overly beautified photo strips across different cultures as an inspiration. So, I want to offer people an opportunity to experience alternative aesthetics in real life. For people to experience
PERICURA, I collaborated with hair looks and nail designs with Miho Kawajiri and Kahh Spence.

YOU SAY THE ROOM IS THE DECONSTRUCTED VERSION OF YOU.  IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 3 WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?  Tender, Wacky and True
HOW LONG HAVE YOU DRESSED HARAJUKU STYLE?  WE LOVED SEEING ALL THE FASHIONS IN HARAJUKU, JAPAN.  Harajuku is a spirit that’s been with me since middle school
WHAT DO YOU HOPE GUESTS WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR ART INSTALLATION? It is important to be bold and brave. Life is not worthy living if you are not trying to discover yourself
WHAT’s YOUR NEXT BIG PROJECT? I am working on my song right now, hoping to debut in Japan soon

 

THANK YOU to Alice for taking the time to answer our questions!  We loved your energy, passion for art, and cute sense of style!

There is still time to see the exhibit from 12noon-7pm today and tomorrow at the Moxy Times Square hotel.
