This was my first time at Playtime New York, and it was such an amazing show! There were more than 150 American and international children's brands exhibiting at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York city from August 1-3 2015. I got to checkout SS16 collection of some of my favorite brands and got introduced to many new ones. Being surrounded by incredible talent and creativity the entire weekend was truly inspiring!
In my two days at the show, I tried to meet and chat with as many designers and brands as possible, but I missed connecting with some fabulous brands that I would love to check out next time. I obviously took a lot of pictures, and I'll let the pictures do the talking for the most part.
I'll start with this beautiful mural in the trend space created by artist Polina Soloveichik.
My first stop was Pom d'Api and their shoes are just amazing. I usually have a very tough time finding good looking and comfortable shoes for my girls. I think Pom d'Api might be the answer. From trendy sandals to sporty shoes, this French brand has something in store for every kid no matter what activity level.
