almost down to the pleat.The first time a line has been so literally inspired by

which carries the collection.Fresh and so current to what was happening in adult
fashion.For fall, lim is offering structural peacoats, tunic dresses with
massive bows, pleated and cuffed shorts and belted sweaters, for $55 to
$325.This generation of newage baby boomers, even though they have a kid now,
they still have a specific aesthetic, lim says, it relates to their whole life
the type of car they drive, the shoes they wear.I was thinking that when they
dress their child, they want something tasteful, something fun and
interesting.While women's national apparel sales have followed the economy
downward, kids' clothing sales have dipped less profoundly, according to retail
research company ndp group.And sales for infanttoddler clothes are the only
