Playtime Paris : the doors open tomorrow at 9:30!

The 21st edition of Playtime Paris will be opening its doors tomorrow at 9:30am. More than 500 children’s and maternity brands will present their Autumn/Winter 2017/18 collections in the Park Floral. Katie will be there to chose the winner of the Pirouette “One to Watch” Award.

So much to see in 3 days…here’s just a few highlights :

The trends forum, featuring themes such as “Party Time” (maximalism with colourful details+rich textures), “Shaman” (wool, fur, ethnic, think Mongolia) and or “Down to Earth” (natural, essential, clean).

An exhibition by artist Aurelie Mathigot will display silhouettes made from natural materials that feel protective and comforting, materials such as hemp, linen, straw and cotton, with which Aurélie crafts, embroiders and crochets.

NEW! At the press stand, Kid’swear Living with gorgeous series from Achim Lipoth and Carlos Lobo.

Brands : Raspberry Plum made a great impression on us at Pitti Firenze and in Dot to Dot London last week end.

Our Pirouette One To Watch Awards is driven by the wish to give more space to new designers. It is dedicated to Fashion and Design brands four years old and younger. Two categories : Design and Fashion & Accessories. Click here to see the previous winners (Dot to Dot London). After Playtime Paris, Pirouette will be at Playtime New York!

While in Paris, we recommend you to visit the new Grand Musee du Parfum which is apparently quite splendid.
