The embodiment of ethnic and bohemian style, Antik Batik executes ancient printing, dyeing and embroidery techniques in an updated and current manner. European and Indonesian influences interfuse seamlessly in pieces that evoke the modern bohemian spirit. The children’s summer collection inspires a nomadic feel with bursts of colors and patterns. The designer of the eclectic brand, Gabriella Cortese, shares a little insight with us…

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your family. How is a perfect summer day spent?
I come from Turin in Italy and love to spend my summer days on the Amalfi Coast with my family.

What defines “bohemian-chic” in 2014?
It is a nomadic way a life.

Where do you gather the inspirations for the seasonal collections? Are they driven by trends or are they intrinsic visions?
I gather the inspiration every day…in the street or at a museum in Paris or during one of my many travels.
I do not follow trends!

Which piece from the children’s SS2014 collection is your favorite?
The Brian dress with ethnic ornaments.

How are these designs influenced by the past and how do you make them wearable for the children of today?
By trying to achieve the perfect mix between several textures and styles. Creating a piece where a little girl can feel like a princess and where she can feel comfy.

The light in the studio ran wild as children’s small feet slapped against the hard floors. Echoes bounced into air like round balls floating higher and higher on a hot summer’s day. They were consumed, in laughter and in play, in whimsical games and in silly stories. Their spirits soared high in the open airs.

Today they became the light chasers.
Today they became the sun kids.
Today they became free.

Don’t the days of childhood and youth just call out freedom? They call for you to toss your shoes aside, twirl round and round in glowing rays of sunshine and to close your eyes and dream of open fields.

We’re dreaming of enchanting gowns and dresses paired with soft sweaters and earthy hues. We’re dreaming of bare feet and hair loosely tied in a bun. We are dreaming of summer pieces that reflect comfort and style. What are you dreaming of?

Meet Renee.
A young girl who lives at The Broome Hotel in New York City.
She may be youthful but she is full of wit and charm.

The city would love her spunk and character.
The museums would happily frame her candid spirt.
The cafès would eagerly fuss over hot cocoas and sweet treats just for her.

She is a city child.
She knows her block well.
Cast iron buildings rooted into the paved streets.
She knows there is history but she is a modern girl.

A modern girl living in a modern building.
She knows every crook and cranny of The Broome Hotel.
But watch out!
Those mysterious and curious eyes can be misleading.

She likes to chew gum.
Read unusual books.
Doodle on scraps of Father’s paper.
She likes to make silly faces.

She is an inquisitive young girl.
She is Renee at The Broome Hotel.

Clower Dress Story 0005

The day slipped away into an evening sky dusted with sparkling stars and glistening nights. The skirts twirled higher and higher as the girls danced, feet softly sweeping wooden floors. Bright lights crept in through open windows as they danced the night away, tossing laughter and giggles into the empty room.

Summer calls for casual attire, summer calls for formal attire.
We are ready to embrace these summer days!

The summer dress defined her. A girlish style that swung in the soft warm breeze, strands of hair gently dancing in air and a feeling of youth lingering around. They were carefree and jubilant. They were young and lost in the spirit of summer.

These dresses have us dreaming of warmer days, fields of soft green grass and endless time to run and play.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
