On the eve of the First of September, the fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev decided to talk about how to dress children in our stars. Many celebrities derive their offspring in the light and even take them with you on the red carpet. How to choose the right outfit in this case?

“In our country we like to speculate about what the children of celebrities nature rests, — begins the story the fashion expert. — I think it is an invention of those with their parents are less fortunate. Of course, having a talented mom and dad is not an absolute guarantee of a successful life of their offspring, but still is an advantage. And the examples are not far to seek: Maris Liepa and his children Andris and Ilze, Sergei Bondarchuk and his son Fedor, Alexander Vertinsky and his daughter Anastasia and Marianne and many others. It’s great that the children were no less popular and successful than their parents. Personally, I’m for that celebrity have introduced the younger generation into the fold, took on the concerts and film premieres, performances.

How to dress baby when the light? It is worth noting that over the last fifteen years children’s fashion has come to naught, the designers have begun to offer kids clothes just like adults, but in mini-version. What is the reason? With the fact that modern children are very different from their peers of the 90-ies. Now in five years the child already understands computer and mobile phone better than his mom. Call it acceleration, if you will. But the fact remains: children begin early to grow up, and this is reflected in the fashion. Designers began to offer them a completely adult styles, the more severe colors. Is girls to a matinee in kindergarten wore earlier in black dresses, except the boys dressed in leather jackets-leather jackets? And now — please! It seems to me, still not worth it to make the children men and women. For each age — your things.”

To cover the knees!

“A typical image of the present day: a young mother and her child wants to seem more Mature. Surprisingly, looking at the actress Ekaterina Klimova, and it seems that she’s the same age as his daughter. Apparently, that was the idea. No one wants to look older than his years or even age, everyone wants to be younger. In addition to children. And this photo proves once again the truth of my words. But I would advise the mother to cover her knees. If there were no claims.”

As brother and sister

“Natasha Koroleva I would put the five plus. She usually likes to bare his chest and show off your legs, and then dress in a preppy — student of preparatory courses to University or College. Son Arkhip dressed in the same style. And together they are like brother and sister, not mother and son.”
