What is the Sophisticating Baby trend?
Sophisticating Baby: Minimalist baby design speaks to a happy medium between the popular fad-based, Internet-heavy infant aesthetic, and the classic cartoonish, childlike look of animal-inspired, pastel-hued pieces. This more sophisticated look accommodates the need for something modern and age appropriate, yet still fitting to an adult aesthetic.
