LamanBlu Releases Autumn / Winter 2013 Collection
Fashion Designer Holli Gibson presents her latest LamanBlu children’s collection for Autumn / Winter 2013.
Golden, Colorado – January 25, 2013 – Holli Gibson’s new collection is a nod to the past and simpler times. Inspirations from historical collections during the Baroque and Renaissance periods come alive in a very wearable collection for children. Fabric is exceedingly important this season, from the crisp hand of Tencel Denim to Hemp and Organic Cotton juxtaposed against exceedingly soft Modal knits and Italian cotton. Trimmings include embroidered ribbons, velvet and Venise laces.
The color palette for the season is as rich as its inspiration, from multiple hues of blue, some with iridescent sheen, to the most intense fuschia, called Beauty, to a deep, rich purple. Prints are inspired by stained glass church windows and come on organic cotton and recycled polyester blends as well as lace.
Styles take children from every day with Swing T’s, Leggings, Jumpers and Twirly Skirts to special nights out in Lace Dresses and Bustle Jackets. Brother’s styling is smart and whimsical with “Prince Charming” crest embroideries and even a reversible iridescent blue/black button down shirt and trouser. Sizes for girls and boys run 6 months to age 8. Wholesale prices for the season range from $20-49.

LamanBlu’s mission is to Celebrate Childhood. They do this by seeing the beauty in everyday things. It is inspired by a child’s sense of wonder and their enjoyment of discovery. The collection offers beautiful yet comfortable eco-friendly clothing using the highest quality designer fabrics and exquisite detailing. It is a trend forward collection which is extensively tested for ease of care, durability, movement and comfort. The colors and prints in the collection are custom designed and exclusive to LamanBlu™. They believe in using eco-friendly fabrics, which are gentle to the environment and to a child’s delicate skin – fabrics including bamboo, organic cottons, recycled polyesters and washable linens.
“We know children insist on being comfortable and have ease of movement no matter what they’re wearing, and all of our styles go through extensive wear testing by real kids. Whether they’re twirling around the room or hanging on the monkey bars, their clothing has to move with them, and even delicate looking clothing has to be durable enough to stand up to a child’s day,” says Holli Gibson, the designer for LamanBlu™.
LamanBlu™ is also an advocate for mom’s busy lives; everything in their collection is machine washable, ironing optional. Most of their garments have adjustment points at critical areas, so that the child can wear their clothing for longer, even after a growth spurt. Another way LamanBlu™ carries out its mission to Celebrate Childhood is through supporting charities protecting children and protecting the environment for their future. They are actively involved in several charities both through direct volunteerism and financial support, including JDRF, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Falling Whistles. You can read more about their chosen charities on their website, www.LamanBlu.com
