While adults are reviving 70s style for S/S '15, toddlers and tots are being given looks inspired by jungle fever. For the S/S '15 season, the British designer crafted a line for adults that features [knits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-anya-hindmarch), roomy pants and wide leg sailor trousers. However, her collection for kids takes an entirely different approach. Equally as the stylish as the grown-up Stella McCartney fashions that graced the LFW runways, the Stella McCartney Kids Collection exhibits stripes, spots and cat-like features. The Stella McCartney kid is offered soft jumpsuits with [cat ear hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-3), fierce graphic t-shirts and leopard print two-piece suits. This collection is perfect for any child with their own sense of ferocious and fabulous style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Feline Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by incorporating cat-themed designs and prints into adult clothing collections. - **Animal-inspired Kids Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the children's fashion industry by creating clothing lines that incorporate animal-themed elements and prints. - **Personalized Kids Style:** Potential disruptor in the children's fashion industry by offering customizable clothing options that allow children to express their unique style and interests. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for the fashion industry to incorporate playful and animal-inspired designs, such as cat-themed prints, into their collections. - **Children's Clothing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the children's clothing industry by creating fashionable and edgy clothing lines inspired by animals and wildlife. - **Customization:** Potential disruptor in the customization industry by offering personalized clothing options for children to express their unique style preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-capsule.md) - [Oversized Designer Kidswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacquemus-mini-me.md) - [Children-Catered Luxe Festive Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-holiday.md) - [Fashionable Technical Sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartneys-2024.md) - [Creativity-Driving Kids Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zara-2.md) - [Vacation-Themed Children's Sleepwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petit-lem-tropicana.md) - [Lifestyle Kids Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patta-aw25-kids.md) - [Streetwear Experimental Kids Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-kids.md)
