The new trade fair in Paris, KID, delivered a second edition at the Bastille Design Center on Boulevard Richard Lenoir. In an intimate setting, press, buyers and other fashion professionals had plenty of time to see the great selection of brands on show.
KID is organized by fashion event director Anaïs Sidali, and artistic director Julien Pelgrand, and framed by a curatorial ethic, which favors quality over quantity. As Anaïs Sidali recalls about setting up KID: „By plunging into the children market, I discovered an entertaining, playful, colorful world… I decided to give a great «vitrine» to the brands I love. My experience led me towards this idea of a fashion trade show with an edgy twist, that could promote young contemporary designers alongside established brands constantly seeking novelty“.

KID is an innovative project, a cross between a showroom and a traditional trade show, dedicated to professionals in search of novelty in the children‘s market. The KID concept tells a story about fashion inspired by contemporary brands with strong identity. KID creates a new „rendez-vous“ for trade at the service of tomorrow‘s designers and shops. For its premiere in Paris, KID was providing a platform for outstanding products, with an emphasis on modern key values: style, audacity, attention to details and manufacturing control. KID will open its doors twice a year (end of January and beginning of July) and plans to develop on international grounds.
