Sea New York, the label famous for their fusion of crochet, patchwork and traditional techniques combined with pared back silhouettes and clever structural details has collaborated with Zara Kids to create the perfect Summer wardrobe for girls. Discerning fashion fans can spot a Sea New York piece from fifty paces, through misty sunglasses and you won’t have much trouble picking their pieces out from Zara’s current collection.
Appropriately for a kids’ collection, the co-founders and designers of Sea New York, Sean Monahan and Monica Paolini are childhood friends and you can see that they’ve raided their memory chest of clothes they loved when they were little for this collaboration. Cute patchwork print waistcoats with matching jeans and the sweetest crochet co-ords have a distinctly 70’s vibe, while satin bomber jackets and lace trimmed dresses finished with utility style fastenings have a more 80’s sports luxe feel.
Every piece from this collection feels special yet wearable and we can see these outfits being passed down through many siblings and friends. We're also very excited by the accessories on offer on this collection. The shoes in particular, are beautifully made and we predict the macramé sandals and bejewelled Mary-Janes will sell out fast. For any mournful grown-ups looking for some low entry price Sea New York, may we direct you to the scrunchies and the embroidered basket. Race you to the tills!
