Playtime Tokyo Part 1 - Trend SpacesM

Illustration by Postics (Ken Mizoguchi)

Hello!

I am really happy to report on Playtime Tokyo again this season - I attended their last August's edition,and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was twice as big! About 230 Japanese and internationalbrands were presenting their Fall/ Winter 2014-15 collections and there was much to discover indeed. Itwas also their 10th edition and it felt special, Happy Birthday Playtime Tokyo!

I have written two posts, introducing first the fun and inspiring trend spaces and the artists who createdthem (Part 1), then some photos of items I had a crush on (Part 2). Expect some more posts in the nearfuture on my fav brands too!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Ever since its creation in 2007, each year Playtime selects a new artist to illustrate its fairs. Let meintroduce you to illustrator Ken Mizoguchi of Postics who has created the absolutely wonderful illustrationsfor all three Playtime Paris, New York and Tokyo this and the past season (see photo above and here . Iam totally inspired by the cute and playful characters that interact magically in all three designs!

I have been most inspired by the Fireworks and Aurora Borealis themes as I can totally imagine partydecoration based on the colors and/ or materials. Which one do you prefer?

Playtime Tokyo Part 2 - I loved...M

the little quote jar

You may wonder why am I going to fairs like Playtime Tokyo - after all I am not running a business relatedto kids fashion... Well, here are a couple of reasons:

I am looking for trends and inspiration. Trend Spaces at Playtime never fail to inspire me.

I am creating party decoration for kids, and I like to understand where kids fashion goes.

I am looking for contacts and meeting up with like-minded people or small business owners.

I am naturally curious and I love sharing with others new finds & exceptional people!

Here below are a few of my (new and old) favorites, at least the ones I could snap a (good!) photo of. As Imentioned in my post yesterday, I will continue to share some of my favs later in March after I havereceived all the materials from the different brands.

#TimeCapsules & Little Quote Jar by Anouk Van Der El

The Dutch label was presenting their TimeCapsule and launching the Little Quote Jar at Playtime Tokyo.Making memories and keeping the little trinkets that mark a childhood or another major life event such asa wedding or a graduation is made easy (and stylish!) with a TimeCapsule. The kit includes stickers, tags,a notebook, tape and more ... and there is enough space for a few keepsakes to be included as well: yourbaby's first shoes, favorite blanket, drawings, etc... Seal the box and put a note when it must be openedand you are all done!

The Little Quote Jar is also a brillant idea: can't remember something funny that your 4-year-old said theother day? Just grab a pencil and memo, write it down and insert it in the jar. You can open it at the endof the year and have a good laugh together - and maybe make a book of it?

:: TimeCapsules is on Facebook and Instagram (@makehistoryco) ::

#Le Petit Lucas du Tertre by Marie Lucas & Clemence du Tertre

If I liked their Spring/Summer 2014 collection last August for the prints & colours, I just LOVED this wintercollection. The mix & match of stripes with their gorgeous jacquards, the funny details such as thedressed up doggy seen in the photo below... Lucky me to have a daughter to spoil next winter!
