Kids Be Cute: Lanvin and H&M Forcing Us to Care About Children

Jun 15, 2011 - by Lester Brathwaite

Just look at those little punims! Ugh, I'm nauseous. Not gonna lie to ya, I've never liked kids. Even when I was a kid, I didn't much care for them. What, you have to run around screaming and laughing all the time? What's wrong with sitting down and quietly paging through a Vogue? However, with Lanvin's irressitibly cute new children's line and this mini-Benetton-esque ad for H&M's All for Children collection, my icy heart is beginning to melt. Slowly.

I mean, look at that little afro? And the little boy turning it on the left.Ten years from now, throw all of these damn kids on the runway and call it a fashion show. H&M lined up these diaper darlings for their All for Children initiative with UNICEF. These clothes go on sale in 160 H&M stores worldwide, with 25% of  sales benefiting UNICEF projects to promote childrens rights to education and protection in vulnerable communities.

The clothes are adorable, particularly that orange number on the right worn by a young Karlie Kloss. But they have nothing on the Lanvin Petite clothes.

Apparently Lanvin doesn't believe in child labor laws because these kids are at work.

Popping out of a box?! Pensively sitting in a chair?! Braced against a wall in a trench?! These kids are editorial jumping at a Teen Vogue level.

After looking at these pics, I'm tempted to adopt a child and raise her to be the next supermodel of the world. But then I realized that they don't stay this cute forever.  One day they're crawling in their baby heels and the next they're flashing their crotch and getting high on salvia.

Without even inviting you. [WWD, Fashionista]
