EDITOR’S NOTE
It started as a hobby, turned into a life-style and finally became a reality. This is how I can describe how this amazing ride has been.
Never in a million years would I see my-self editing an industrial e-magazine dedi-cated to the childrens clothing and design industry, but here I am and completely loving it.
The industry is full of inspiring brands, designers, different sized organizations as well as persons trying to get exposure and recognition.
Little Industry Magazine is proud to pro-vide an new platform that gives brands an opportunity to grow and get where they want to be seen in front of an audience that is on the look out for an inspiration and to take the chance on new alterna-tives.
We are however sorry we could not fit in all those brands that we initially contact-ed but hopefully we can make that hap-pen in later issues.
I hope that you share our thoughts and I surely hope that you like our debut.

EXPANDING WITH NEW INITIATIVES
VISUAL UPDATENot forgetting their ambitious quality bar, the visual profile has been punched with creative love. An new website has been launched with a brand new visual identity that creatively fits their new initiatives and provides an easier access. CPH KIDS has put their confidence in into the hands of WDV STUDIO who has raised the bar with their usual flair for vi-sions and dynamics.
INTERNATIONAL BRANDSIt is never to late or soon to buzz. The forthcoming CPH KIDS Spring/Summer fair opens in TAP 2 with
renewed attention from innova-tive brands across Scandinavia, and the interest extends far be-yond the Northern latitudes.
INTENSE 3 DAYSOne of the new initiatives is the decision to tune up the pace and efficiency. This rhymes perfect-ly with the exhibitors wish for a more compressed and intense fair. So in the upcoming show in Janu-ary 31st - February 2nd 2013, CPH KIDS has trimmed the fair down to just three days instead of four. Three days, a packed program, full speed ahead, action and presence. www.cphkids.dk
From the very beginning, CPH KIDS have aimed to create a fair with a multifarious embrace, challenging creativeness with tight-fistedness, constantly looking beyond any comfort zone. Now CPH KIDS intends to stick to their mantra by optimizing the fair experience for exhibitors, buy-ers as well as the press. CPH KIDS will once again assert itself as the most innovative children’s fashion fair in Northern Europe by introducing new dimension initiatives at the fair.

MOOD-SETTING YOUR SHOPIn clothes stores, sandwich bars, gyms and coffee shops we face a constant barrage of background mu-sic - music we notice but rarely listen to. How does it af-fect us? Who chooses it, and do they have sinister motives? There is some evidence to suggest that the tempo, volume, mode and other structural characteristics of background music influence consumer behavior. Little Industry Magazine will try to point out and identify few songs that could be perfect for your shop.

The collection is for both boys and girls including a great range of different styles and is all about lots of amazing colours, humouristic details such as moustaches and glasses as well as airplanes and maps and as always lots of fun.
28 LITTLE INDUSTRY MAGAZINE
NAME: Linda GullbergBRAND: Mina
BACKGROUND: MINA was founded in 2011 by me. I have been working as a designer for some of the world’s leading footwear brands, such as Vagabond, H&M and Boo-merang. As I explored the range of children’s shoes that was available had a gap between form and function and I wanted to fill it with shoes that are both of highest quality and that both children and their parents would love to wear.
INSPIRATION: My daughter Nico is my inspi-ration. Whatever she find funny and inter-esting I am trying to make something out of. For spring/summer 2013 I am focusing on her humour and her interest in glasses and moustaches. She loves to run around the house wearing my glasses and moustaches. She also loves airplanes and colours. So my 2013 ss collection is filled with colours and funny details that I know every kid will love.
NAME: WinnieBRAND: Mischka Aoki
BACKGROUND: Mischka Aoki was created from love-of-style. The label’s designer, Winnie, says people are never too young to indulge in fashion. “I wanted my daughter to look like a star every day, no occasion necessary.” And so Mischka Aoki was born.
INSPIRATION: every collections has quite a different inspiration. However often I get inspired by everything that happens around me. I also love looking at fabrics and can spend hours and hours at the fabric store just looking at them and touching them, and sometimes I get inspired from them too.

NAME: Elisabeth G. RognmoBRAND: Jumina
BACKGROUND: Studied to be a tailor and have worked mostly with interior design.
INSPIRATION: Norwegian fairytales, nature and my family.
NAME: Alexia PanzaBRAND: Tom & Drew Boys
BACKGROUND: Tom & Drew started when I was at the end of my junior year in college. We were preparing to work on our senior thesis project where we had to create a mock business and spend an entire semes-ter bringing it to life. I’ve always been inter-ested in entrepreneurship, and thought why not do this for real? When coming up with my thesis subject, I kept asking myself, how do I mesh my love of fashion with a niche market? I always found it difficult to find preppy but cool clothes for my two neph-ews, so that’s where it all started.
INSPIRATION: I think my inspiration comes from the fictional man in my life. Each season, I create a theme, spring & sum-mer 2012 for boys was “palm beach prep” and from there, it always seems to all fall in place. Everyone at my office teases me that my brain never turns off. I’m constantly thinking about new concepts and inspira-tion, even when I’m sleeping.

INDIKIDUAL ON THE RISELittle Industry Magazine met up with Syreeta Johnson, owner and designer of the UK based brand Indikidual and asked her few questions about her inspirations, background and her fab-ulous brand.
What was your inspiration behind starting your own brand?I have always loved fashion and clothing, I have a 1st class degree in textile design and have worked as a buyer and designer in both the UK and Swe-den so it kind of came naturally. When I had my daughter Minnie I discovered a whole world of cool kids brands and then the ideas started. I found what we really needed was a range clothing that was practical and comfortable, that could be layered up and down depending on the weather, and could be easily mixed and matched.
The hand drawn prints came about when me and Minnie were playing, she always wanted me to draw funny faces and bananas, I used the sketch-es to make repeat patterns and went from there. In the new SS13 collection it was Minnie idea to have banana shape balloons, Im now wiring on AW13 designs were Minnie is also providing a lot of inspiration with her latest fads!
Tell us a little bit about your background?I grew up by the seaside in Suffolk with my 3 sis-ters, we all loved crafts so there was lots of paint-ing, creating and making. My dad is Jamaican so there was always a lot of music and fun in our house hold. I think this led to me following a crea-tive path with my work. After graduating I moved to London where I met my Swedish partner Robin. We now live in London with our daughter Minnie but try to spend as much time as possible at our summer house in Sweden. indikidual definitely draws from my Caribbean/English background and the Swedish influence.
45LITTLE INDUSTRY MAGAZINE
Do you have any upcoming projects you can share with us?The pop up craft work shops I have been running in London have been really popular and lots of fun, I will continue to run them monthly after the Summer holidays. I really want to hold some kind of competition where we will see some of the children’s artwork on some of the indikidual gar-ments so if you have a budding artist watch this space.
How would you describe your own style?I love fashion but I’m a bit lazy when it comes to putting make up on and painting my nails etc, Im more of a throw something on and hope for the best. I wear a lot of dresses and have recently started buying a bit more sensibly, so instead of 20 dresses from Topshop i’ll just buy a couple of Marc Jacobs ones instead, so far I think its work-ing!
What is your favorite item in your current collec-tion?Its really hard as I love all of the pieces, Minnie (my daughter) wears all of it, we mix and match different outfits depending on what we are up to that day. At the moment she is wearing ‘Minty’ (button back light weight denim top) a lot, its great for the changing weather we have at the moment. The banana print all in one ‘pip’ is also one of my favourites, we get a lot of comments when she wears that piece.

MODERN & AUTHENTICWith its modern, authentic collections, macarons gmbh was praised highly by retailers, agents and the press right from its debut. Drawing force from this posi-tive feedback, the team around Veit and Julie Kohlhoff expanded the macarons collection to include the sizes from 50/56 to 122/128. The articles of clothing with great comfort and freedom of movement are produced solely in line with the strict GOTS guidelines. And for the coming sea-son, the following is still true: 100 per-cent made in Germany – from the fabric development to production. As a special highlight of the summer collection 2013, internationally renowned designer Cécile Feilchenfeldt will present her exclusive line of children’s accessories “cécile for macarons”.
FINEST WOVEN FABRICSThe clothing from macarons is said to be just as “exquisite” as the delicacy after which it is named: Strong yellow, bright coral, intensive blue and fresh white are the colors with which macarons is ringing in the spirit of summer 2013. The collec-tion also impresses with its special knit-ted creations as well as the finest woven fabrics with self-developed prints and sophisticated re- versible pieces. Children and parents will also enjoy the comfort of the summer collection and the feeling of the clothes on the skin, as the soft, natu-ral materials provide a lot of freedom to move. The secret here lies in another new material development:
49LITTLE INDUSTRY MAGAZINE
IQ FABRICSAfter developing “IQ-Fabric” – a com-pletely new, high-quality and complex textile – for its winter collections, maca-rons again worked together with textile experts in Germany and Switzerland to create high-quality knitted and woven materials in line with the GOTS standard. “We want to reignite the pleasure of en-joying nature together as a family. For this reason, for all its beauty, our collec-tion is also simple and timeless – pleas-antly puristic and suitable for everyday wear,” says Julie Kohlhoff about the coming collection, which is as diverse as a “typical German summer”: as well as items for midsummer, the collection will also include functional pieces for cooler days.
www.macarons-group.com
THE PEOPLE BEHIND MACARONSIn 2011, Julie and Veit Kohlhoff found-ed macarons, inspired by their young daughter Cléo. While searching for a warm baby overall, they discovered that the majority of fashionable outdoor products for small children are made of stiff, synthetic mate- rial and that eco-logical clothing made of natural fibers are often unfashionable and not very inspiring. Thus the idea was born to de-velop the macarons baby overall, which unites colorful design, luxury organic and fair trade materials as well as mod-ern craftsmanship in one product and thereby formed the starting point for the first fall/winter 2012/13 collection. Since then, macarons has been develop-ing indoor and outdoor products as well as accessories for children from 0 to 6 years of age.
CÉCILE FEILCHENFELDTDuring her training as a textile designer, Cécile Feilchenfeldt was already interest-ed in the topic of accessories and found-ed her own label for scarf collections, which she soon expanded to include a hat collection. Through the presentation of her label in boutiques and galleries, the young Swiss designer increasingly took an interest in staging. Her accesso-ry collections became sculptures which she presented as an “event” together with other artists. She also undertook further design projects in the area of in-terior design, all of which have one thing in common: all the objects are knitted. For the macarons summer collection 2013, Cécile Feilchenfeldt, who already worked for big fashion names such as Strenesse, Issey Miyake and Krizia, has designed accessories for children for the first time ever.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
We all try our best for our kids, we try to teach them wright from wrong and we try to teach them what to eat and what to avoid. Our intentions are to send them as strong, healthy and well prepared individ-uals into the big world. But even though we try our best they tend to misunder-stand our kindness and sometimes they are even sure that we are trying to poison them with good and healthy food. Why? I wish I knew why!
And on the other hand more and more children are diagnosed with asthma, adhd, allergies, in autism spectrum. About 20% are obese (this number has tripled in the last 20 years) and about 50% are overweight.
So what can we do ?
Name the food funny names; really pop-ular dishes at my place is batman power bar, Mickey-chocolate-mouse, Drag-onjuice.
Serve the food in a beautiful way; every-body loves to eat beautiful, funny dish and children are no exeption.
Be a role model, you have to walk your talk.
Do not have junk food in your house, no cookies, no white bread, no chocolatebut-ter, no sugar coated cereal (can also be hidden inside)
Have your kids help out in the kitchen
Have cozy-night with vegetable snack and healthy dip
Teach them what´s healthy and whats unhealthy, not what makes you fat or not
Buy fruits and vegetables and cut them down so it´s easier to grap (you can squeeze lemon in apple for example to prevent them to get brown)
Make shakes and put as much healthy stuff as possible in it
Smuggle vegetables in food by boiling them and purrée
Grow your own vegetables and fruits and have your kids involved in it

A WORD FROM ACROSS THE BLOG
62 LITTLE INDUSTRY MAGAZINE
NAME: Weili ChiangSHOP: UNIQUE PLUS / USA
BACKGROUND: I am a mother, teacher, and founder of Unique Plus. I have a joyful son, Evan, and a compassionate daughter, Ally. Ally suffered from eczema since she was born. It was not easy to find effective treat-ments that could sooth her sore, itchy skin. Times grew more challenging when Evan was born with heart disease. At the hospital I saw many young children, who were go-ing through chemotherapy or could barely sit up straight. Many of these cancers and illnesses are caused by the pollution that is continuously being introduced to our Earth. This is was one of my biggest motivations to open up Unique Plus.
INSPIRATION: Today, both of my children are enjoying life. This has inspired me to lend a hand to others to promote both phys-ical and emotional well-being. When I see my customers leave my store with a smile, their joy ignites my motivation to continue to provide them with only the most natural products and pure consideration.

NAME: Lee TurnerSHOP: RAE BABY / New Zealand
BACKGROUND: I am a stay at home mum to 3 daughters aged 4, 2, and 8 months and have been a primary school teacher for the last 10 years. I have Lived in Napier, New Zealand for most of my life but enjoyed 2 years teaching in Qatar which provided us with the opportunity to travel through Eu-rope. I have a love of all things creative and like most “kiwis” will have a go at anything, hence the decision to start Rae Baby.
INSPIRATION: The more I thought about what inspired me the more I realised that it was a collection of events and emotions dat-ing back to my childhood, like a jigsaw they have slowly been pieced together and are starting to reveal a complete picture. The first piece of the puzzle can be attributed to my mum and her love of sewing and fashion, she once started her own children’s clothing shop too and I remember the excitement of great clothes and fashion shows. Over the years my experiences have provided me with the skills to run Rae Baby but the birth of my three daughters have been the spring board to actually starting the business and they inspire me on a daily basis.
