1. Japan based designer Madoka Takahashi presented her brand Présent de l’ondée’s SS20 collection Play Sensibly. Play Sensibly featured vibrant colours and styles, starting off with two girls wearing black and cream flare dresses with large bows, followed by a boy wearing a mini tuxedo jacket.

2. Launched in 2016, the Canadian brand Little Yogi questioned the impact of the fashion industry on child development by challenging gender stereotypes. Mini models showcasing the brand’s “equality and durability” attitude. Reflecting the brand’s belief of ethic and eco-responsible, this new collection creatively combined cotton with bamboo fabrics, in line with comfortness, latest trends, and a sense of playfulness.

6. Audience members were treated to the pop colours and eclectic designs from Earth and Us. The fashion-forward children’s clothing brand showcased casual and refined designs for little girls and boys — from tie dye shirts, to graphic design and plaid shirts, to neon colours, and metallic green and pink skater skirts. Earth and Us presented a collection ideal for someone who wants ‘throwing something on’ and look stylish.

3. Fascino Faces presented Sahil Jaisingh, a designer from Faridabad that specializes in fashion with a huge visual impact.

4. Fascino Faces presented Ank by Amrit Kaur.

Designer Amrit Kaur draws inspiration from the world of art, aiming to add drama to fashion. With Ank’s couture line and fledgling children’s line, it’s easy to coordinate beautiful matching outfits for mom and daughter. The level of detailing in each piece combined with the added drama the feathers and sparkling sequins give the collection a very luxurious feel, allowing every little girl to feel like a princess when wearing the beautiful pieces.

5. Putzi brought matching two-piece sets and clean, minimalist fabrics to the runway.
