Call It Quilts

Inspired by quilted dresses and trousers at labels like Fendi and Kenzo last season, quilting can be found texturizing an array of kidswear for Fall ’15.

The craft of quilting dates all the way back to the first century, when the fabric was used by Siberians to fight the cold. But in terms of fashion history, it all started with Coco Chanel’s iconic 2.55 bag in 1955. Today, the technique lends shape and volume to not only handbags but apparel as well. Inspired by quilted dresses and trousers at labels like Fendi and Kenzo last season, quilting can be found texturizing an array of kidswear for Fall ’15, from sporty skirts, comfy sweatpants and snazzy sneakers to overcoats and puffer vests. With the ability to add dimension and sophistication to any silhouette, quilted fabrics will keep little ones looking chic while feeling cozy all winter long.
