Finding inspiration in a world of flowers… LamanBlu releases its Spring/Summer 2011 Runway Show Video, inspired by the joy of summer and the flowers of spring.
Graphic 3D floral prints and bright colors are the trademark look for the SS2011 collection which consisted of twirly spring dresses and smart separates.
Exhibiting a fun and elegant collection, Gibson's attention to details caught the eye of the audience, which included buyers, parents and other high profile guests.
Holli Gibson first created the LamanBlu label in 2008. Her original premise was to create eco-friendly classically beautiful clothing for little girls. She has stayed true to the vision creating beautiful, wearable dresses and sportswear inspired by nature and leading trends in both the children's and women's industry.
Gibson feels that children should be dressed beautifully, no matter what their activity and that dressing beautifully shouldn't hamper their play and exploration of their world. Such is the reason a significant part of the collection is in lycra infused knits. "Because every little girl is really a princess inside, " says Gibson, "and princesses climb trees and run fast and hang upside down on the jungle gym!"
A versatile designer, Gibson likes to experiment with color and is her flair for it never more evident than in this collection. She incorporates a coordinated range of custom prints and color combinations and plays with pretty, girly silhouettes. Dresses all have great twirl quality. Layering dresses, skirts, twirly skorts and hip length tops with leggings and flowy capris allow for plenty of playability and occasion options.
LamanBlu continues its offering of designer quality bamboo knits and has added a new designer weight cotton/lycra knit to its collection as a sharper price point option. Sizes are 6mos – 6x. As always, the LamanBlu collection is easy care for the busy family, with the entire line being machine wash and dry, and ironing is optional. Gibson's extensive merchandising experience is evident in the collection as buyers have options of selecting the color stories to fit their customer base, from vibrant punchy contrasting colors to more delicate classic color stories all anchored in the color of the season, a bright white.
