The Baby Dior Spring/Summer 2014 collection's lookbook reads like a charming storybook, set in a whimsical summer garden. With warm filters, flowers and sophisticated garments for boys and girls, the whole collection is looking pretty rosy.
As well as the vibrant rose backdrop of the collection, the pieces of children's clothing also play up bright floral tones like poppy reds, orchid purples and sunny yellows. There are some subtle patterns in the collection, but very few prints. Instead, flower-shaped motifs and embellishments are subtly dispersed over some of the tops of shoulders and dress forms.
The darling children's collection is bright and youthful, but also quite sophisticated—there will definitely be one some older siblings and adults who are coveting these charming garments.
