It’s a big day for tiny tykes looking to follow in the footsteps of North West. Kardashian fashion favorite Balmain have announced the launch of a new children’s fashion line.
The fashion giant’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, 30, made the announcement on Instagram on Monday with a photo of four stylish kids and the proclamation: ‘Welcome to my new Balmain Kids!’
‘I think I first thought about designing kidswear when I dressed North,’ Olivier told Bustle of his inspiration. ‘I had a conversation with Kim, and that was the beginning of how I really understood that the Balmain universe can also belong to kids.’
The 55-piece collection features clothing for both boys and girls aged six to fourteen and borrows more than a touch of the military influence typical of the brand’s adult lines.
In fact, the pieces – which will be available for purchase online and in Balmain boutiques from June this year – appear to be miniature versions of Olivier’s designs.
And, just like the brand’s other collections, the pieces are due to have a price tag to match, with the costs ranging from €190 (about $205) for a sleeveless T-shirt to €5,500 (about $5,950) for a black embroidered dress, according to WWD.
In the Instagram photos so far, the child models are seen sporting luxurious fur coats, embroidered band jackets and double-breasted blazers.
For the girls, there are also plenty of the tulle tutus that little inspiration North West is such a huge fan of.
