ENK/Vogue Bambini Fall 2011 Fashion Show

As I mentioned, on Sunday I attended my first ever NYC fashion show, Vogue Bambini's Fall 2011 kids' fashion at the ENK show at the Javits Center. Wow, what a fantastic experience it was!

First off, there was my front row seat. How cool is that? Considering I typically spend my mornings in cramped chairs in speech therapists' waiting rooms, I felt like Queen for a Day.

Let's get to the show. Here are the photos I snapped in order of appearance. These child models were awesome. They were pros at using props like toy cameras and telescopes (it was cute how they were turning their lenses on us). And I loved how the older kids guided the wobblier younger ones.

As for the clothing, I'm curious to hear what you think. The outfits were stunning. Though they were a bit eclectic for my own taste (I'm not a fan of fur accents on kids--even faux ones), I realize this is runway fashion and not necessarily how you'd dress your own kids on a typical day. That being said, the overall effects were captivating and there was one designer in particular that I L*O*V*E*D. See if you can guess which one.
