When I was kid, the designer names I knew and wore with pride were Carter’s, Garanimals and if I was feeling particularly stylish, Dittos. But these days kids are being plastered with adult designer labels at a very early age (case in point - Juicy Couture pacifiers). Babies are coming straight out of the womb and are going directly into the dressing room.
First I should confess that I find needless excess totally fascinating. (If you’re feeling randy, check out my posts about the most expensive kid’s , shoes, onesies, dresses and a $47,000 bed for Droolicious here, here, here and also here). Recent studies are reflecting that the rich are indeed getting richer. While the rest of the populous spent their back to school shopping budget on items from the sale rack at Target, Ross Dress for Less or hand-me-downs from a local thrift store, those who opt to light their cigars with $100 bills are spending $328 on a Juicy Couture faux fur jacket, $312 on Little Marc Jacobs boots and $545 for a Burberry rain coat, all available from the Neiman Marcus kid’s catalog “Just Kidding”. Yeah, and sadly they’re not kidding about those prices. They are very very real.
