Marilyn Tov’s Spring Collection is Tré Bien for Moms & Daughters

No matter the age, French girls traditionally define their identities through their unique style of clothing. In that spirit, designer Marilyn Tov brings the French tradition to girls’ fashion, ensuring that lasting comfort is met with grace and beauty. Growing up in Paris, she recalls an idyllic childhood of easy-going shopping on Saturdays, followed by bike rides along the Seine. What she recalls of the clothing she wore during her Parisian playtimes is comfortable elegance and that embodies her 2013 namesake collection.

The spring/summer 2013 collection is all about mothers and daughters and is titled “My Angel.” Wanting to project unique and timeless moments between a mother and her child, these outfits are as precious as that relationship. One of the most beautiful pieces for both mother and daughter is the Calie (women) or Cala (girls) A-line six-panel dress. This dress features oversize pockets, a pleated neckline and comes in a soft pearl gray with sweet, simple Swiss dots.

Also consider carrying the Christiane (women) or Christiana (girls) smocked shirt. This features puff sleeves, shearing shoulders, and an open back. Tov’s collection is sophisticated, yet fashionably roomy: perfect for a warm summer day walking hand-in-hand down the street or running in the playground.

An adorable baby shower gift would be the Marilyn Tov “My first Parisian bathing suit” made with the softest cotton for comfort and lightest for quick drying. This blue-striped top is smocked with soft elastic and the bloomer bottoms are adorned with simple ruffles. To cover this little two-piece, consider the accompanying top that ties with an open back and features ruffles on the neckline. Both pieces are 100% cotton.

If you don’t want to wait for bathing suit season to feature something for baby, consider the booties. Her collection features six different kinds, many unisex. These booties are made of lightweight cotton and lined with 100% organic cotton gauze to let baby’s feet breathe.
