Focus op een toekomst van mogelijkheden, niet beperkingen

With the new year approaching, the FS (Fashion snoops) team is looking forward to the most important trends for children’s clothing for autumn/winter 2025.

In our first trend, Quintessence, we imagine a future defined by possibilities, not limitations. In this protopia (a world in which people help other people grow, ed.) the ideal can be achieved when perspective plays a role; what seems typical at first glance is atypical on closer inspection. Whether it’s a cleverly curated color palette, an adjusted proportion or a detail that seems out of place, it’s this subtle dose of detail that makes the ordinary extraordinary.

With a sustainable and cost-effective approach to seasonless styles, there is a growing emphasis on capsule collections that capture both the function of meaningful minimalism and its emotional, intangible appeal. Quintessence embodies the “most perfect example”, the compromise between the need for practical essentials and the desire for something different. As we continue to explore gender-inclusive and cross-seasonal collections, the subtle skill of elevating the everyday to must-have status will be paramount.

For our second trend, Sumptuous, we immerse ourselves in a funhouse of the five senses. This trend takes us on a sensory rollercoaster with a comforting design that is as luxurious as it is mentally beneficial. Inspired by the idea of ​​child-led design, this story knows no bounds with curious combinations that inspire new interpretations of classic silhouettes, mismatched details and charged color combinations that evoke a cheerful, emotional design.

Elements of playfulness and expressive styling choices recapture the boundless imagination and uninhibited nature that only children can possess. Free from expectations, Sumptuous stimulates the senses with lush materials, imaginative details and tactile surfaces that bring children’s imaginations to life, creating emotional depth and a new understanding of the clothes they wear.

In our third trend, Kinship, we rediscover our intrinsic connection with nature, show respect and appreciation for the world around us and honor the wisdom and craft practices of indigenous peoples. Through this deep connection to both people and nature, Kinship revives forgotten practices through enriched designs that highlight and illustrate intentional craftsmanship, farmed materials and local colors, strengthening the unbreakable bond between the consumer and the process behind the product.

Here the looks exude a raw opulence, a unique, heirloom quality of materials that are both generously tactile and rich in artisanal detail. Often abundant in rich colors and luscious textures, the looks cultivate and show off nature’s many awe-inspiring, naturally occurring phenomena while maintaining their integrity and staying true to the wisdom and craft practices of indigenous peoples.

As we seek meaning in this ambiguous world full of wonders, our latest trend, Fathom, takes us on a journey into uncharted territories where a child’s boundless curiosity and imagination fuels an exploratory escape into the undiscovered corners of our own planet and beyond. Here we venture into an AI-inspired realm where the familiar has been slightly altered and brought into a lucid dream state.

Seductive details and strangely attractive combinations are almost unbelievable and show the far-reaching possibilities of dreamy, merely imaginary designs. Celestial influences appear in dreamy surface dimensions, while illusory details inspire outerwear and activewear for adaptable functionality that’s ready for anything. A softer futurism is evoked through a softer color palette and malleable shapes that provide both a protective layer and a comforting cocoon.
