Grown-ups are no longer the only ones dressing in ultra-chic, sustainable fashions; designers are creating a niche especially for kids. We\u2019re seeing \u201cpre-loved\u201d vintage clothing revamped into new styles, modular garments made to last through growth spurts, and the ultimate hand-me-downs<\/a>\u00a0envisioned through the lens of “utilitarian cool.” Children are the future generation of shoppers. It\u2019s time now we show them that trendsetting looks can be ethical and environmentally safe.<\/p>\n

With fresh collaborations, closed-loop fabric dyeing and more, The Fableists<\/a> is Britain\u2019s newest children\u2019s brand to produce practical, rock-and-roll inspired looks that your son and\/or daughter would be proud to wear. You can feel reassured about your purchases as each garment is made from \u00a0organic cotton<\/a> by workers who receive fair wages and respectful treatment. A portion of the company\u2019s revenue goes to buying books for children in need.<\/p>\n

As the father of four busy children, the brand\u2019s founder Matt Cooper urges customers to pass on the garments to others with the belief they\u2019ll last for many years. He further noted, \u201cEveryone involved is passionate and excited about the product we are launching and also about our small contribution to the planet and her people. Most of all, we don\u2019t want to set a future deadline to work towards \u2013 we want to make changes now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Resizing Fashion<\/h3>\n

The style fun doesn\u2019t end there: Karina Kallio of Kallio<\/a> in Brooklyn, New York, makes old clothes young again with a lot of imagination, but never any fabric waste. Take a look at this video below to see how a men\u2019s dress shirt is snipped and tucked into a beautiful girl\u2019s shirt dress. The label also makes looks for boys and babies.<\/p>\n
