Pierrot la lune

Pierrot la Lune is a new Danish childrenswear Brand that I came across via Pinterest.  I was drawn to the 'care free' childhood  element of the photographs.  The most successful childrenswear, in my opinion, is those that allow children to be children and I feel Pierrot la Lune does this in abundance.  

The Spring Summer 2014 collection is decidedly Danish in style, yet has an ambience that is classically French. There is also an Indian influence with traditional block print detailing. The colour palette is delicate and muted, chosen to be remnant of a faded photograph and a nod to the nostalgia of a bygone childhood.  Garments are simple, clean shapes with fine features such as embroidery & ruffles which are teamed up with chunkier knits.   Simply, a beautifully put together timeless collection that is affordable, ethical and environmental sustainable.

Sometimes you come across an image and instantly fall in love with it.....well to be honest I do this several times a day, for various reasons, hence the twenty thousand or so pins!  

If you are a regular reader you will know I have a fondness for vintage clothing and interiors.  My girls have a vintage stagecoach pram in their room, along with a whole manner of vintage toys I have picked up along the way, so this image grabbed my attention straight the way. (because of the pram)  Then the little girl with the flower head-dress/ capelet sleeve, faded colour palette, fawn in hand!  I love it!  It is so natural and nostalgic.  It represents a summer childhood I had and long for my own children.  (All be it through rose tinted glasses!) On further investigation the people responsible for this image is a website called Leuie, A beautiful Canadian Website capturing and celebrating childhood with their collections for home and living.  Dilly's recommendation is the gorgeous Rochefort Arlequin Dress, super cute with its peter pan collar and stripes.
