the<br />
editor’s note<br />
With a never ending stream of disappointing TV<br />
news reel and a political climate so hot I feel like<br />
cranking the AC, it only seemed fitting to focus<br />
the latest issue of <strong>Poster</strong> <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> on a<br />
positive message we can all get behind - GIRL<br />
POWER. Whether you are a girl, have a girl or<br />
are the child of a girl, I’m sure you agree!<br />
In the wake of the recent election I, like many<br />
others, felt pretty depleted. I really wanted to<br />
create something uplifting to send out into the<br />
world with the outlet we’ve created. So, we<br />
asked photographers to shoot GIRL POWER<br />
editorials. Boy did they deliver! We hope you<br />
feel as empowered and inspired as we did putting<br />
this issue together.<br />
What is the best thing about<br />
spring and your favourite<br />
trend for the season? Tag<br />
@posterchildmag in your<br />
Instagram pictures or<br />

Can’t wait to hear from you!<br />
Together with Plan International, <strong>Poster</strong> <strong>Child</strong><br />
<strong>Magazine</strong> believes that gender equality is central<br />
to achieving long-term change in this world.<br />
We envision a world that values girls, promotes<br />
their rights and ends injustice! Because I am a<br />
Girl supports millions of girls in getting the education,<br />
skills and support they need to move<br />
from poverty to a future of opportunity.<br />
We are excited that proceeds from this issue<br />
of <strong>Poster</strong> <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> will support this<br />
cause and empower girls in developing nations<br />
around the world!<br />

Lace Up For H&M’s<br />
Boxer and Ballerina<br />
Studio Collection<br />
Known for telling magical tales through<br />
each piece in every collection, H&M’s <strong>2017</strong><br />
<strong>Spring</strong>/Summer collection features casual,<br />
sporty apparel inspired by the athletic stages<br />
of boxing and ballet. Pernilla Wohlfahrt,<br />
H&M’s creative director, describes their newest<br />
season as a way to exhibit ballerinas and<br />
boxers “and the worlds which they inhabit.”<br />
In mixing delicate ruffles with relaxed hoodies<br />
and pairing boxing sneakers with reversible<br />
nylon bomber jackets, H&M’s latest line<br />
is all about blending together the different<br />
worlds of movement.<br />
Whether gearing up for the ring with a pair<br />
of tattoo-printed boxer shorts or arriving for<br />
warm-up wearing striped track pants before<br />
changing into a dress with a pintuck neckline,<br />
both narratives are driven by H&M’s<br />
LOVE detailing to applaud the display of<br />
compassion. The colour palette, along with<br />
the embellishments of gold crocodiles and<br />
heart prints, sticks closely to the theme of<br />
harmonizing contrast using red, black, white<br />
and gold throughout the collection. As for<br />
accessories, the selection will include tattoo-printed<br />
tights - a bottom to easily tuck<br />
into unisex boxing sneakers or classic ballet<br />
footwear - and LOVE sweatbands to keep<br />
inside a swan-like backpack with mandatory<br />
jump rope.<br />
Designed with the creative impulse to integrate<br />
the softness of ballet with the edginess<br />
of boxing, the stage-ready collection<br />
will launch on March 2nd in select stores<br />
and online.<br />

Brand New Cybex<br />
MIOS Stroller Is All<br />
About Fashionable,<br />
Effortless Movement<br />
Channeling inspiration from Charles and<br />
Ray Eames’ influential designs and creative<br />
confidence, Cybex has released the MIOS<br />
stroller to add to their notable assortment<br />
of baby carriers, car seats, and strollers<br />
designed for the industrial landscape of a<br />
modern lifestyle.<br />
Catering to urban parents on the go with<br />
an aesthetic nostalgia for retro-design, the<br />
MIOS offers flexibility, all wheel-suspension,<br />
and an innovative structure taken from designs<br />
of the past but modified for contemporary<br />
functionality.<br />
Along with its easily expandable and contracting<br />
light-weight frame and adjustable<br />
sun canopy, the MIOS supports a convenient<br />
3-in-1 travel option that adapts as children<br />
grow and require alternative travelling arrangements.<br />
Together with fashion-forward<br />
features - including snack trays and insect<br />
protectors - and a compact design to move<br />
effortlessly through confined spaces, the<br />
MIOS also provides a child with a natural<br />
cooling system thanks to its breathable and<br />
comfortable fabrics. Available in a variety of<br />
canopy colours and stylish prints, the MIOS<br />
design is intelligently practical and ideal for<br />
travelling around city terrain with ease.<br />

Wolf & Rita x JC de<br />
CASTELBAJAC Paris<br />
SS17: Designing<br />
Happyculture<br />
Combining art with sophisticated design,<br />
the Wolf & Rita x JC de CASTELBAJAC<br />
<strong>2017</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> / Summer collaboration is a colourful<br />
medley of poetry, imagination, adventure<br />
and youthful curiosity.<br />
From busy, multi-coloured forest prints to<br />
simple, hand-drawn surrealist designs, the<br />
collection evokes a fantastical world that<br />
aids creative power. Along with accessories,<br />
the artistic European collaboration includes<br />
playful dresses, jumpers and swimsuits, as<br />
well as shirt and pant sets in primary shades<br />
of blue, yellow, red and green.<br />
Together with animal prints and Picasso-like<br />
cubism, the designs vary in shape and size<br />
to open up new means of expression via<br />
spirited children’s wear - all of which are<br />
consciously made locally, in Portugal. The<br />
original Parisian influence of JC de CASTEL-<br />
BAJAC Paris in tandem with Wolf & Rita’s<br />
modern take on traditionalism is uniquely<br />
brought together to experiment with their<br />
notion of Happyculture.<br />

These selective pieces are complimented<br />

Designed for boys and girls, the collection<br />
was created with Mini Rodini and Adidas<br />
Originals’ ethical, social and environmental<br />
standards in mind with all pieces thoughtfully<br />

materials. The creative prints juxtaposed<br />
with classic Adidas athleisure is the perfect<br />
balance for catering to the imaginative lifestyle<br />
of the energetic youth.<br />
Upon its global release, the unique collection<br />

“If you’re prepared<br />
and organized you<br />
are ready for any<br />
surprises or last<br />
minute curveballs.”<br />
Tell us a bit about yourself and Stroller In the City!<br />
I am both a full-time blogger and full-time mother. I used<br />
to work in the fashion industry. I owned my own showroom<br />
for years and sold it right before I had my first child<br />
in 2008.<br />
Where do you live and why do you love your<br />
neighbourhood?<br />
I live in Battery Park City in Manhattan. It feels like a little<br />
suburb of Manhattan…like a gated community. We’re<br />
still in the city but we are surrounded by parks.<br />
What is an ideal day with Ryder, Siella & Gemma like?<br />
Exploring different neighborhoods in the city together is<br />
always fun. We wander around, try new restaurants and<br />
play at the many playgrounds or museums that surround<br />
us.<br />
What is your secret to starting off the week on the<br />
right foot?<br />
Prep and organization…that’s pretty much my secret for<br />
life. If you’re prepared and organized you are ready for<br />
any surprises or last minute curveballs. I make sure to<br />
write lists of the things that need to get done, make sure<br />
my food shopping is complete for the week, and I even<br />
meal plan!<br />
Do you have an anti-stress remedy?<br />
I’d love to say that I meditate regularly but who has time?<br />
Taking a little “me time” is always a de-stresser. Even if it<br />
is a ten-minute walk or a solo lunch—sometimes checking<br />
in with me is the best way to decompress. It gives me<br />
the focus I need to handle other stressful situations with<br />
grace.<br />
We know you love to travel when you aren’t strolling<br />
the city. Where are you planning to visit this year?<br />
We have a few places in mind this year. We are heading<br />
to Disney World in a few weeks and will be experiencing<br />
a Disney Cruise for the first time. And we have plans to<br />
add a few ski trips this winter as well.<br />
What is your weekend routine with the family?<br />
We have sports practice and games on the weekends<br />
usually so we’re still running all over the place. But I like<br />
to have a big fun breakfast together at least one of the<br />
days. I also love to escape the city during the weekends<br />
so we are always taking day trips outside the city!<br />
What are your top five must-have items for <strong>Spring</strong><br />
<strong>2017</strong>?<br />
Hmmmm, I haven’t thought that far out yet, but I am<br />
thinking hats, boho dresses, and a great bag!<br />

Designer Q&A<br />
Outside The Lines<br />
After having worked for years in womenswear friends Philippa and Kate established<br />
Outside the Lines, a British girlswear brand brimming with sophistication,<br />
femininity and a sense of humour that appeals to girls and parents alike.<br />
32<br />
Outside the Lines is a brand new girlswear label<br />
established in 2016 by Philippa Cloete and Kate<br />
Please offering a carefully considered clothing collection<br />
for ages 3-10. The collection has a unique<br />
and contemporary feel infused with extra touches<br />
and includes all the pieces required for a capsule<br />
wardrobe for girls.<br />
The soft colour palette and investment in rich and<br />
interesting fabrics with little details, creates a relaxed<br />
and interchangeable look that appeals to<br />
free-spirited girls who wish to explore their own<br />
style.<br />
We had the pleasure of interviewing Philippa and<br />
Kate about their exciting new label. Read all about<br />
it in this issue’s designer Q&A!<br />
How and why did you launch Outside the Lines?<br />
We initially had the idea for Outside the Lines over<br />
18 months ago sitting in a restaurant in Paris brainstorming<br />
ideas for a girlswear label which was good<br />
quality yet still a considered purchase.<br />
Both of us have worked in womenswear and the<br />
fashion industry for a number of years for some<br />
of the biggest names on the high street including<br />
Next, Topshop and Marks & Spencer, and shared<br />
the same vision that there were plenty of girlswear<br />
brands at the designer and high street end of the<br />
market but very little in between. We really felt that<br />
there was a gap for a girlswear label that doesn’t<br />
compromise on quality but also doesn’t ‘break the<br />
bank’; thus Outside the Lines was born.<br />
We developed the name Outside the Lines which<br />
comes from the ethos that it’s ok for girls to colour<br />
‘outside the lines’, essentially to be creative and<br />
create their own style that is unique to them.
Designer Q&A<br />
34
What made you want to design for children?<br />
As parents ourselves to two girls (Philippa) and two<br />
boys (Kate), we dreamt of working together to create<br />
our own childrenswear label. As soon as we had<br />
children, we became obsessed with kids’ fashion<br />
but struggled to find good quality, stylish clothing<br />
for our own children that were still accessible. We<br />
are big fans of soft muted colours and the little finishing<br />
details that really make clothes stand out.<br />
What is your brand’s mission statement or goal?<br />
To offer a carefully considered yet affordable girlswear<br />
collection with plenty of style that doesn’t<br />
compromise on quality or design.<br />
What are the motivations or inspirations behind<br />
the SS17 designs?<br />
For <strong>Spring</strong> / Summer ‘17 we have created a collection<br />
that is inspired by global travel combining<br />
elements of bohemian ‘70s style with a more contemporary<br />
look for free-spirited girls who wish to<br />
explore their own style. With a nod to the folk trend,<br />
the 30-piece collection is presented in a colour palette<br />
of soft greys and neutral shades with ethnic<br />
handicraft touches in pops of neon, complemented<br />
by denim chambray workwear pieces with an Eastern<br />
influence. Folk-inspired tassels and pom-poms<br />
reminiscent of the ‘70s, make an appearance, keeping<br />
the bohemian spirit of this collection alive.<br />
Highlight pieces in the collection include the all-inone<br />
playsuit punctuated with white embroidery, the<br />
pom-pom tapestry jacket in accents of neon and<br />
the white lace petticoat dress with pretty tie closure<br />
for the back - perfect for a summertime look.<br />
Is there a style decade you are inspired by?<br />
There is no particular decade we are particularly<br />
inspired by but we like to design classic pieces<br />
for girls that can be dressed up or down and won’t<br />
date.<br />
What makes your label stand out in the<br />
industry?<br />
We have spent a long time ensuring we offer great<br />
quality yarns and fabrics that are soft and luxurious<br />
in beautiful textures and cool patterns - perfect<br />
for layering or making a statement on their own.<br />
The investment in rich and interesting fabrics and<br />
the unique designs really sets us apart from other<br />
brands.<br />
What do you have coming up that you are really<br />
excited about?<br />
We have just finished showing our AW17 collection<br />
at Playtime Paris, the childrenswear tradeshow, and<br />
we were delighted to receive such a positive response<br />
from stockists all over the world so we look<br />
forward to Outside the Lines going global.<br />
What is/are your favourite item/s from the<br />
current collection?<br />
Philippa: My favourite pieces from the SS17 collection<br />
are the pompom tapestry jacket, the frilled<br />
sleeve trimmed stripe tee and the chambray dress.<br />
Kate: The navy embroidered all-in-one playsuit, the<br />
frill sleeve waistcoat and the sequin swing vest are<br />
some of my favourite pieces from this collection.<br />

Kate invite you to vist<br />

new <strong>Spring</strong> and<br />

With warm weather on the horizon,<br />
or perhaps a spring break<br />
getaway planned, you are no<br />
doubt daydreaming about<br />
lounging poolside or basking on the<br />
beach with your family.<br />
With years of expertise designing beautiful<br />
swimwear for women, Envya Kids<br />
offers a perfect balance of chic and<br />
playful swim fashions that we’ve fallen<br />
in love with. Whatever your taste, Envya<br />
has adorable swimsuits that are guaranteed<br />
to make a splash this year!<br />
We asked the Envya team to tell us a bit<br />
about their kids’ collection in this quick<br />
Q&A.<br />
What can you share about the brand<br />
Envya for those who aren’t familiar?<br />
Inspired by the lifestyle of the free-spirited<br />
SoCal girls, Envya Collection was<br />
designed to fit perfectly into a laid-back<br />
beach lifestyle. The fusion of playful yet<br />
edgy silhouettes creates an effortless<br />
balance of bold and contemporary sophistication.<br />
Our collections are distributed<br />
in over 20 countries, throughout<br />
boutiques, resorts and Online stores.<br />
What inspired you to introduce a<br />
collection for girls?<br />
It started with a women’s line collection<br />
in 2009. Combining our passion with<br />
over 20 years’ industry experience and<br />
manufacturing techniques, not only we<br />
desire to create fashion pieces for women,<br />
but for the little ones as well, so we
continue to spread positivity, creativity<br />
and above all, fun to the children’s market.<br />
We came up with a collection for kids<br />
as a mini reflection, from size 4 to 12,<br />
with clean lines and practical details.<br />
We highlight a child’s natural beauty using<br />
eye-catching colors and cute prints,<br />
focusing on well-made, great fitting<br />
garments with safe fabric and materials.<br />
What are you influenced by?<br />
I search for new things all the time.<br />
My inspiration comes from trips to the<br />
ocean seaside, places like Spain, Caribbean<br />
where I found the quaint old<br />
beach towns, interesting street styles,<br />
bold and colorful architecture; the kids<br />
around, the things they say, their look<br />
and their imaginations!<br />
What are the themes for the new<br />
collection?<br />
This summer the theme will be playful,<br />
with bright color-blocks, prints like<br />
pineapples, waves, and floral. We also<br />
added some sweet details and appliqués<br />
like flower buds, pompoms and<br />
cute bows. Splashing in the water will<br />
be extra fun with our different range of<br />
girl’s swim collection.<br />

"Tell your daughter she is beautiful. But teach<br />
her that beauty is found in intelligence, in<br />
confidence, in kindness and in perseverance."
54<br />
"Utilize their strengths in a positive way. Encourage their dreams.<br />
Let them fail, so they learn how to fix problems. As a mom, it's<br />
hard to watch our kids stumble. However, I have found that it's<br />
the "getting back up" that teaches the best lessons."

It is important that every collection captures the<br />
magical personalities of the children.<br />
When shopping for her son, Ada couldn’t find<br />
pieces she liked and began looking overseas. She<br />
had the idea of opening up a children Online store<br />
but didn’t begin the process of creating Minimodel<br />
Gallery until maternity leave with her daughter. She<br />
used the time to put on a customer hat and build<br />
her website with a personal perspective.<br />

"Don't be afraid to let them explore and to express themselves by<br />
way of small rebellions and decisions. Let them know that it is okay<br />
to learn from their mistakes and celebrate their strengths... If you<br />
foster a strong, courageous girl, she will be an independent thinker<br />
who will stand up for herself as well as support others in need!"
58<br />
"Constantly remind them of the power they have to do and become anything and<br />
everything they want. I started my business by finding my passion and staying<br />
true to my voice and what I had to offer the world. I want my daughters<br />
to know that they possess a perfect combination of special talents that make<br />
them uniquely them and that as long as they are true to what they love,<br />
all things are unapologetically possible."
