Fossil Fuel

Tired of the Roaring Twenties-inspired party frocks and twee Depression-era smock tops that have infiltrated children’s fashion as of late—but still crave a bit of vintage style? Take a look at the prehistoric threads and accessories coming straight from the Jurassic. Complete with scales, teeth and tails, these imaginative dinosaur items are not your typical cave man togs. By combining 21st century function (Velcro and snaps) with characters that have bite, these wares mark a new age of roaring good fun. —Angela Velasquez

Hip Hip Hooray

Hipster children are not just dwelling in Brooklyn and Portland these days. The oh-so-cool, artsy movement has spread across the world, reaching Paris’ 11th arrondissement to London’s tourist-free East End and Amsterdam-Noord, a nabe peppered with art studios outside the cutesy cobblestone streets of the capital city. The language might be different and the appreciation for particular artisanal after school snacks—be it cheese, pickles or mayonnaise— reflect the diverse cultures, but one thing remains unchanged: skinny jeans, moody hues and ironic T-shirts will always be hip. —Angela Velasquez
