kitschy be couture? It can if the person blending old and
new is mix-master Julie Bowler at Kitschy

approximately $28 wholesale) that looks one-of-a-kind. To
order, call 812-598-2370, or visit kitschycouturekids.com.

Norwegian
native Bente Nilssen looks to "fairy tales, nature, real
and 'unreal' creatures" for Frosk's
Fall 2011 Free Like a Bird collection. The model wears a
fitted, hooded jacket trimmed with rhinestones.
Coordinating leggings are divided into panels for an edgy
look. The sweater's fox graphic reflects the warmer tones
in the line, and the new belt/skirt with a smocked
elastic waist can "shine up any outfit," says Nilssen.
(Fits sizes 4 to 14 years; $14-$47 wholesale.) For more
