Prepare For The Mini-Karls – Lagerfeld Announces Kidswear Collection

Glove wearer, sunglass lover, father to Choupette, and now kidswear designer.

That’s right, Karl Lagerfeld has announced that he is launching a clothing line for children, to be unveiled in Spring 2016.

The collection will operate underthe designer's own line in collaboration with Groupe CWF, who are already responsible for the childrenswear extensions of Chloé, Burberry, DKNY and Marc Jacobs.

A statement from the brand said: "The announcement reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to newness and will allow Karl Lagerfeld to share its ironic, playful, creative vision to a young audience

Pier Paolo Righi, CEO and president of the label added: "The Karl Lagerfeld Kidswear collection presents a unique opportunity to share our cool, ironic, iconic DNA with a wider Karl Lagerfeld audience.

"Due to our brand's wide appeal our expansion into the juniors market is a natural fit to further enhance our reach."

The line will include ready-to-wear, and accessories for newborn to 16-year-old girls and boys. We're expecting a lot of monochrome, some Choupette embelishments and of course, some mini gloves.

We’re also hoping Karl picks his super-cute godson, Hudson Kroenig, to model the bi-annual collection.

Hudson, son of Chanel muse Brad Kroenig, is already well-acquainted with the world of fashion, having walked in various Chanel shows with his dad and Cara Delevingne.
