MARILYN KIRSCHNER'S FAVORITE THINGS



Skepticism turned to delight when Mathieu Simard's mother offered him and his wife a necklace for their newborn made of hazel wood beads that supposedly helped to soothe teething babies. The necklace quieted their infant's distress, and an idea for a product was born: Healing Hazel, a collection of hazel wood necklaces and bracelets for infants through adult sizes. The delicate beads (worn by Miranda Kerr's baby Flynn on the cover of Who magazine), which work by neutralizing saliva acidity that causes toothaches and helps to soothe rashes and flushed cheeks, come in two sizes for infant and toddler (approximately $9.45-$13 wholesale), and have met all standards for safety. Visit healinghazel.com. TB





Hanssop, the Dutch line specializing in children's underwear and nightwear (made of the softest cotton), just added bigger sizes to their collection, and are now sized from 2 to 16. They have also expanded on styles, colors and patterns, with some delightful results, such as the horse printed 2-piece pajama, ($35 wholesale, sized 0-3 and up to 24 months). Visit lolligo.com. MK





Milla Reese's Nancy Pozo is definitely 'thinking' wide this season with her wide (2-inch) stretch bands offered in an array of colors including gold and silver lurex); they are lavishly embellished with tiny studded hearts, stars, crowns, lollipops, and cupcakes ($7 wholesale, sized for infants and toddlers). MK








Melissa Karetsky loves graphic stripes and always uses them for MJK Knits. This season is no exception and I was immediately drawn to the motif hats ($18 wholesale), adorned with anchors, flowers, cherries, teddy bears, and hearts, as well as her festive birthday sweaters with stars, $42 wholesale (sizes infant-10). MK









Girl Nation, a brand new division of The Piggy Story, made its debut at Children's Club. The stylish, sophisticated, chic, completely versatile, and functional line of bags (phone purse, IPad, laptop, and tote) in embossed patent pvc, is geared for style conscious tweens and fills a much needed gap. Solid colors (electro pink, blue, green, and black, piped with white), sleek simple shapes, hidden handles, define the aesthetic ($14-$18 wholesale). MK






Kushies' cotton terry tiny polka dot burp and bib sets (4 colors, $7.50 wholesale). MK





Among the always thoughtful and completely unique selection at Tree by Kerri Lee: The wonderful animal clocks (owl, elephant, turtle, bunny, bear, monkey), all made of solid wood, eco-friendly, and made locally in the USA (actually, Long Eddy, New York). MK




The grass is greener at
7 A.M. Enfant, where Rebecca Campora layers her impossibly functional and ultra-chic Le Sac Igloo ($55-$75 wholesale), WarMMuffs ($19), and Roma Bag ($39-$49 ) in army green, to great effect. MK










Shelley Foster describes her
Silly Souls' offerings as "always funny, goofy, and cute", and this season, the Tax Credit, Mom, and Future President one-pieces, and the adorable matching beanie hats and bibs, all in washable 100% cotton, certainly fit that bill. MK







Jannuzzi's sunhats appliqued with an alligator, whale, sailboat ($8.50 wholesale). MK





Zutano's adorable Infant Booties with "3-D" foot "ornaments" (NB-12 months, $3.25 wholesale). TB










Confetti & Friends' neon colored sparkly bracelets, $3 wholesale; brand new Face Paint (available in 5 colors, $1.75 wholesale); Camp Band Aids (12 patterns, $1.25); Mosquito Repellent Stickers (which are great for clothes, $1.25)

FALL/WINTER 2012 SPONSOR FASHION PREVIEWS & BEST SELLERS



An oversized hit at New York's Duo Showroom is this funky boy's getup from La Miniatura, says Robin Wilcher. The designers cast a spell on buyers with the Voodoo sweater ($48 wholesale), that updates the popular skull motif; Ministripe Tee ($18); and skinny Corduroy Pant ($28). The Nylon Varsity Jacket ($68) adds a touch of jock appeal (fits 2 to 14 years). For more information, call 212-354-2371, or visit duokids.com.





The Aurora Tank Dress, from Tea Collection's Fall 2012 line, has buyers seeing stars. The item (2T to 12 years, $19 wholesale), with its wild swirls of color, exposed back zipper and feminine pleating, is based on the Aurora Borealis. Pairing the dress with the soft, long sleeve Purity Tee ($12.50) and Cozy Rob Knit Legging ($12) makes for a heavenly combination. (Tee and leggings fit 12 months to 12 years). For more information, call 617-733-9183, or visit www.teacollection.com.








Jennifer Connaughton at Ferd says buyers are responding to her Fall 2012 collection's "urban meets suburban chic" theme. A Nehru-collared Shirt in chunky plaid ($37 wholesale) lends a casual note to the elegant two-tone Crew Neck Sweater ($44) and Slim Leg Wool Trousers ($44). Garments fit 12 months to 8 years. For more information, call 609-799-8448, or visit ferdkids.com.






Buyers of the Fall 2012 organic Go Gently Baby collection insist on comfort, modern shapes, and a touch of nostalgia. They've found all three qualities in the boy's slouchy, ribbed Grandpa Cardigan with river shell buttons ($23 wholesale), worn over the "what if" tee, printed on the back with the important question: "What if we gave more and took less?" ($19), and the charming, elastic waist French Terry Long John Trouser with river shell buttons at the center front ($25). A jaunty knit scarf ($12) finishes the look. (3 months to 6 years). For more information, call 310-980-1104, or visit gogentlybaby.com.








Even buyers heavily into tutus are writing orders for Sofi's irreverent hi bye, hi low T-shirt (6 months to 16 years, $14-$16 wholesale), reports Nancy Markert of the Nancy Markert Showroom. The message is just cheeky enough, and who doesn't love basic black? And to cover bikinis at the pool, buyers favor Family Ties' ultra soft robe, available in several colors and trims (2 to 12 years, $25 and $30). For more information, call 201-768-8334, or visit nancymarkert.com.






A sweet treat for buyers of Cupcakes & Pastries' Fall 2012 collection is the Square Bib dress with contrast pom-pom details. The cotton, lined garment covers all the season's themes with a rich wallpaper print, bib detail, and easy-to-move-in shape. (12 months to 12 years, $30-$32 wholesale) For more information, call 213-769-8272, or visit cupcakesandpastries.com.








Buyers shopping the Holiday and Fall 2012 Busy Bees and Miss b lines, found the traditional looks with modern touches this company is known for. In the Holiday collection, the versatile, fully lined plaid pants for boys (2 to 12 years, $34 wholesale) got buyers' thumbs up, as did the Miss b's Pomegranate Satin dress (7 to 16 years, $52) in a complexion flattering shade and narrow shape. Fall buyers favored the Daisy Drawstring dress (7 to 16 years, $36), as much for its casual silhouette and drawstring detail, as its luxurious fabrication that feels like fleece inside. For more information, call 917-796-9771, or visit busybees-kids.com.






A Zutano Fall 2012 'best seller': the Cozie Shaggy Hat. "It's a warm superstar in our winter line up," says designer Uli Belenky. "The adorable bomber styles (worn with the fleece Cozie, Scrapyard Tee and Candy Stripe Leggings) make a fun winter look, and the sherpa fleece outside and shaggy faux fur that lines the ear flaps and brim keep baby's head warm all winter." The must-have gift piece, available in several bright tones, fits 6 months to 4T, $12 wholesale. For more information, call 800-287-5139, or visit zutano.com.






For the girl that lives in jeans and tees, Hudson Threads' dresses for Fall 2012 can be game changers. The designers employ soft Jersey that drapes beautifully and is easy to move in. The colors are trendy and, when the designers use a print, it packs a punch.  The Kendall Dress ($33 wholesale) offers pleat detail for feminine neckline and commands attention with a bold graphic print. Vibrant tones enhance the color-blocking and fitted top of the Adrienne Dress ($32). Fits 4 to 16 years. For more information, call 914-481-1113, or visit hudsonthreads.com.







Joy Cha of Lemon Loves Lime and Gnu Brand, known for innovative appliques, anything-but-demure use of color, and a fresh way with ruffles, gave buyers a whole lot of love for Fall 2012. They're loving her back with orders for the ruffle-edged, multi-tiered Rose Fairy Dress (2 to 10 years, $32 wholesale) worn with the brilliant blue cotton cardigan and hat, each strewn with hand-knit flowers (3 months to 4 years, $42). The boy's Gnu Brand buyer favored the Black Bear Tee (2 to 8 years, $19.50) for its vibrant tones and embroidered French Terry animal. For more information, call 630-260-7885, or visit lemonloveslime.com and gnubrand.com.

No extraneous details on

Anna Sui colors a sweet ditsy print dress in charcoal, teal and mustard.

FALL/WINTER 2012 TINA BARRY EDITOR'S PICKS FROM THE SHOWS

SOMAA KIDS
Newcomer Angela Amos introduced girls' sportswear that blends a playful spirit with an eye for easy, elegant pieces. The tops, skirts, and dresses, in a mix of soft denim, plaid and wool, have a western mood, in keeping with the designer's concept: girl's love to play dress-up, so each season she'll offer pieces that reflect a different theatrical event. My guess for Fall 2012: "Annie Get Your Gun."

Outstanding Pieces: A denim top and flounced skirt: Who knew a work shirt could look this chic? Sizes: 2T to 6X; Wholesale prices: $18-$35; Tel: 212-470-0149
; somaakids.com.



REDFISH KIDS
Designer Lorraine Kitsos wants children to have the courage to express their individuality. She helps them along with a collection of black, gray and white pieces that can be mixed and matched and brightened with a saturated tee or accessory. Her shapes are loose and easy, sometimes with a flattering obi-style sash to draw attention to the waist.

Outstanding Piece: Drawing on the inherent drama of wide black and white stripes, Kitsos cuts a dress with a pretty bodice, an obi and wide skirt for dancing. Sizes: 3 months to 14 years; Wholesale prices: $7- $68; Tel: 800-862-2608
; redfishkidsclothing.com.





RED WAGON BABY
Designer Afton Farley waves the flag in a collection of tees, skirts and leggings in stars and stripes. Burn-out and a palette of mauve, gray and black add interest.

Outstanding Pieces: Take stars and stripes out of the nautical, red and navy combination and you have a look that's utterly original and so much fun! Sizes: 6 months to 6 years; Wholesale prices: $13-$18;
Yoka Showroom; Tel: 212-594-7714; redwagonbaby.com.
