A Windfall of New Fashions for Autumn!

Fall is vivid – everything is enhanced from the yellow, orange and red leaves falling on lawns to smoky smells wafting through the air. The season also brings cooler weather, and as parents get their children’s back-to-school clothing out of storage, they often discover that the kids have outgrown last year’s outfits and jackets. As the Fall 2010 wholesale buying season winds down, springtime gives retailers a last chance to plan ahead and be prepared for the “windfall” of new children’s apparel next autumn. Here are a few Fall 2010 favorites The Giggle Guide^® is falling for from Attitude Pie, Alpha Industries, Llum, and Desigual.

Attitude Pie Cooks Up Kids Clothing with Personality Plus!

The funky Harvest Moon Collection for Fall 2010 is a collaboration between sweet sixties sensibilities and modern methods and materials. The collection’s print dresses represent a new revolution for the grandchildren of the original flower children.

Alpha Industries Takes Off with High-Flying Style for Kids
