Who:Paade Mode

Paade Mode brought a burst of nostalgia and sunny florals to the judging space this year with their charmingly named collection, “Mimi’s Backyard Society.” Judges fell in love with the delightful hues and retro patterns, and felt these pieces would add a welcome dose of playfulness to any little wardrobe. Our panel loved that the designs were thoughtful and intentional, built to perfect the balance between allowing free movement and looking beautiful.

Such pretty pieces. A charming brand. I'm a fan…

All the colours mixed together are so well executed and not often seen in kids brands. It's beautifully done.

Who: Birinit

What:Maison Birinit FW25 collection, Vintage-inspired childrenswear

Why:

We love a little whimsy and storytelling here at Junior, and Birinit’s FW25 collection gave us both in abundance! This female-led brand aims to preserve the beautiful things of the past in the present with their nostalgic designs that embrace the free-spirited flow of childhood. The dreamy patterns, playful details and the perfectly curated treasure trove of jewel tones stole the hearts of our judges, and the softness of the fabrics scores top points for comfort too. We’re dreaming of pieces for our own wardrobes!

Beyond beautiful. I adore every item. Probably one of my favourite childrenswear brands right now.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

The double buttons on the dress, the frilly collar on the blouse, pleats on the denim and balloony sleeves, OMG, everything is perfect!

Julie Vianey, Children’s Fashion Stylist @julievianey

Really great quality and style!

Mimi Labesa, Content Creator @mimilabesa

I think this is my favourite new discovery at the Junior Design Awards. Charming and nostalgic yet fresh. Beautiful clothes to treasure and pass down.

Who:Petite Maison Kids

What:Coco Collection, Children’s occasionwear

Why:

Petite Maison Kids brought the twirl-factor with them this year with their showstopping pieces. Our panel were in awe of the quality and details of these designs, the tulle, the bows, the glamour! The brand aims to spark joy with their outfits, and we think any little girl would feel like the belle of the ball in these designs, they are true heirloom pieces to be cherished and worn with love.

From the fabric to the colours and the great design, all the details have been thought of.

Julie Vianey, Children’s Fashion Stylist @julievianey

Elegant, chic, timeless, glamorous dresses! I love how the tulle is gathered, it’s absolutely breathtaking!

Mimi Labesa, Content Creator @mimilabesa

These dresses were a complete show stopper! Perfect for twirling.

Winner:BRONZE - Best International Children’s Fashion Brand

Who:Just Peachy

What:Just Peachy Feel Good Underwear

Why:

Every great outfit starts with great underwear, and Just Peachy really know their stuff when it comes to the base layers. Comfort is key, and these pieces are as soft as can be. The JDA panel was wowed by the cloud-spun OEKO-TEX®️certified Micro Modal, developed especially for the brand, and absolutely perfect for little ones with skin sensitivities. And the fun part? The DIY iron-on patches! Because why would you wear plain pants, when you can adorn them with all of your favourite things?

A beautiful brand that makes beautiful things for the planet and the future.

Julie Vianey, Children’s Fashion Stylist @julievianey

My children were lucky to be sent some Just Peachy pants and vests to try and they're by far their favourites. Just so soft and comfortable. The perfect base layer.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Premium quality and feel.

Mimi Labesa, Content Creator @mimilabesa

So soft and comfortable they’re great for kids with sensory issues and the stickers make them extra fun! My daughter is a big fan - and she is a fussy teen!
