KIDULT KRAZE

Dive into your childhood treasure chest because Rugrats fashion is back. Blast the last of the winter blues away with these candy-coated pieces: think smiley appliqués, rainbow prints and a colour palette pulled straight from the crayon box. Look to Montréal designer Baby Minou’s beaded handbags reminiscent of the iron-fuse craft days, or the quirky and cartoonish embellishments from Calgary’s Lucky Bear. Just make sure you have the POV down pat: leaving a birthday party covered in shimmery stickers and temporary tattoos, chocolate wasted, an overflowing loot bag in hand.
