Scandinavian Designer Gives Baby Clothes an Urban Edge; Appaman Presents New Line Featuring Groovy New Images and Styles

(Brooklyn, NY; October 16, 2003) The Appaman Design Team is proud to announce its fall/winter 03/04 line complete with one-pieces, long and short sleeve t-shirts, leggings, hats, bibs and great gift sets, perfect for newborns and toddlers.

After a great Spring launch with placements in trendy baby stores in New York City, Chicago and Detroit; garments featured by New York Magazine's Rima Suqi, Earnshaw's and Children's Business, Appaman is thrilled to be releasing their new and expanded line of cool and colorful designs for Generation Diaper.

Appaman Apparel was inspired by and named after the childhood companion of founder and designer Harald Husum. While growing up in Norway, Husum befriended a corduroy ape named Appaman (Norwegian for "monkey man"). Together they traveled the fields and fjords of their native land, sharing many fantastic adventures. Appaman Apparel reflects the whimsical spirit of those youthful times and celebrates the unbreakable bond between a boy and his ape.

Appaman's bright palate provides a burst of color to the traditional world of pink and blue. The fun, bold graphics offer a welcome antidote to the mainstream images of baby wear. With cool designs and original color combinations Appaman is the new choice for parents looking to Keep It Real.

Appaman's fall/winter line features ten unique designs in four styles and six sizes: Short sleeve one-piece outfits (0-6, 6-12 mos.), long sleeve shirts (12-18, 18-24 mos.), Lap t-shirts (12-18 mos.) and t-shirts (2T and 4T). New this season are the matching leggings for both boys and girls (sizes 0-6, 6-12, 12-18 mos.), hats for newborns and bibs for kids of all ages. All available in the new Appaman Gift Box. (Retail prices: One-piece designs $19.95; T-Shirt designs $18.95; Long Sleeve T-Shirt $21.95; Gift Box $39.95.)

All of the designs are conceived and created by Scandinavian designer, Harald Husum. All items are soft, 100% cotton, dyed and printed in New York City.
