Stella McCartney Launches Kids Clothing Line
Stella McCartney, fashion designer to the stars, is taking on a whole new clientele - and they're under five feet tall! In collaboration with Gap Kids and Baby Gap, McCartney is unveiling a one-time-only line of children’s clothes. Launching in the UK, France, Japan, the U.S. and Canada, the line includes everything from ultra-soft cashmere blankets for newborns to brushed cotton blazers with silk lapels, and those wool military jackets.
Stella, 38, mother of three children under the age of five - two boys, Miller, 4, and Beckett, 1 1/2, and a girl, Bailey, 3 1/2 - sat down with W magazine to promote her new children's line, and discuss why she finally gave in to designing for the little people of the world.
On why she is designing kids clothes: ‘When are you going to do kids? When are you going to do kids? It was just a question that was wearing me out.”
On not being able to find good kids clothes: “I find there’s nothing between the two worlds—it’s kind of cheap or expensive, and they look like that,” she explains. “Some expensive labels are too conservative and twee, and the cheaper stuff is a little less classy and tasteful.”

Ali Landry: "Motherhood Really Changed My Perspective"
BY NADIA CARRIERE
Actress Ali Landry is most famously known as the “Doritos Girl” or Miss USA '96 - however just recently the 36-year-old model ventured into the world of fashion, design and marketing by launching Belle Parish, a boutique style children's clothing line. The Bella star, who is a big fan of Celebrity Baby Scoop sat down for an exclusive interview with us last week and spoke candidly about her new clothing line, the hopes and dreams she has for the future of Belle Parish, how she disciplines her adorable 2-year-old daughter Estela, her marriage to hubby, writer/film-maker Alejandro Gomez Monteverde and their eagerness to expand their family.
CBS: Congratulations on your new clothing line, Belle Parish! What inspired you to start a childrens clothing line?
AL: Thank you!
It all started after I had my daughter Estela. My mother started sending me packages filled with all these gorgeous hand embroidered, cotton batisse clothes she saved from when I was a baby as well these beautiful outfits she made using vintage patterns. Pajamas with pinch pleats and french lace, beautiful little rompers, just gorgeous things. I dressed Estela in those clothes every single day.
Its funny because I always thought I would be the kind of mother who dressed my kids in the typical “hip” and “cool” clothes which are so common here in LA, however motherhood really changed my perspective. When my daughter was born and I saw that precious, little, innocent baby, I thought to myself, " My gosh she is going to grow so fast!". Children in our society grow up so quickly, partly because of what they are exposed to. I wanted her clothing to be age appropriate, celebrating her childhood and decided then and there to start this line. It was also a way for me to get involved into marketing and branding; something I have always been passionate about.
Jenny McCarthy Launches Non-Toxic Children's Line
Jenny McCarthy has partnered with PEM America to launch a brand new line of non-toxic, affordable products for infants and children. The line is set to include affordable, non-toxic infant & juvenile products, including bedding, bath textiles, room décor and newborn gift sets.
The press release from Brand Sense Partners said, "New improvements, such as reversible sets and Aloesoothe™, an innovative, Aloe-enhanced finishing technology, will help to further differentiate TOO GOOD™ from its competitors, while offering some of the best crib sheet options on the market. While some manufacturers have taken thread counts down, TOO GOOD™ will be utilizing higher thread counts and 100% cotton on all crib sheets, mattress pads and other products that are in direct contact with the child. TOO GOOD™ will also strive to bridge the gap between education and fashion. Specific textures, colors and icons will be used to enhance early learning and storytelling, while chic and clutter-free design will allow parents to provide more than one look which will bring continued smiles to parents and children alike.
Katie Holmes To Launch Clothing Line
Actress Katie Holmes is the latest celeb to venture into clothing design, with People magazine reporting that the former Dawson’s Creek star and her stylist Jeanne Yang will be launching a line of women’s and children’s clothes this fall.
Though they’re not in stores just yet, you may have already seen a couple of Katie’s creations: Both the navy halter dress she wore to last year’s Tropic of Thunder premiere and the white jumpsuit she donned for the after-party of her All My Sons Broadway debut were Katie Holmes originals.
Katie’s rep didn’t comment on what the kids’ line will be like, but if her 3-year-old daughter Suri’s wardrobe is any indication it’s sure to be adorable.
