bright YOUNG things Style stars: the best buys for the next generation
Give memorable moments a stylish edge with best-of-the-season clothes and toys for the young (and a little older) people in your life.
Welcome to JONES Junior, a special supplement designed for the little people in our lives. David Jones knows how important they are (and how fast they grow). In fact, David Jones has been a leader in kidswear since it opened 180 years ago. Did you know that the Elizabeth Street store has an entire floor dedicated to Disney, complete with five separate play areas? And it’s not just play, it’s about practicality, too. If your bump is about to become a baby, there’s help at hand for nursery furniture, prams and more. Whether you’ve got a fairy princess on your hands (cue confetti from the ceiling) or a dub-step maestro in the making, there’s everything from charming toddler gear to chilled-out separates for your super-cool tweens. There are even designer labels to elevate their look; the Chloé dress ($1580) on the cover has us wishing it came in grown-up sizes. All up, it’s kidswear that you’ll love and, more importantly, your kids will love, too.
