the
editor’s note
With a never ending stream of disappointing TV
news reel and a political climate so hot I feel like
cranking the AC, it only seemed fitting to focus
the latest issue of Poster Child Magazine on a
positive message we can all get behind - GIRL
POWER. Whether you are a girl, have a girl or
are the child of a girl, I’m sure you agree!
In the wake of the recent election I, like many
others, felt pretty depleted. I really wanted to
create something uplifting to send out into the
world with the outlet we’ve created. So, we
asked photographers to shoot GIRL POWER
editorials. Boy did they deliver! We hope you
feel as empowered and inspired as we did putting
this issue together.
What is the best thing about
spring and your favourite
trend for the season? Tag
@posterchildmag in your
Instagram pictures or
comments!
Can’t wait to hear from you!
Together with Plan International, Poster Child
Magazine believes that gender equality is central
to achieving long-term change in this world.
We envision a world that values girls, promotes
their rights and ends injustice! Because I am a
Girl supports millions of girls in getting the education,
skills and support they need to move
from poverty to a future of opportunity.
We are excited that proceeds from this issue
of Poster Child Magazine will support this
cause and empower girls in developing nations
around the world!

Lace Up For H&M’s
Boxer and Ballerina
Studio Collection
Known for telling magical tales through
each piece in every collection, H&M’s 2017
Spring/Summer collection features casual,
sporty apparel inspired by the athletic stages
of boxing and ballet. Pernilla Wohlfahrt,
H&M’s creative director, describes their newest
season as a way to exhibit ballerinas and
boxers “and the worlds which they inhabit.”
In mixing delicate ruffles with relaxed hoodies
and pairing boxing sneakers with reversible
nylon bomber jackets, H&M’s latest line
is all about blending together the different
worlds of movement.
Whether gearing up for the ring with a pair
of tattoo-printed boxer shorts or arriving for
warm-up wearing striped track pants before
changing into a dress with a pintuck neckline,
both narratives are driven by H&M’s
LOVE detailing to applaud the display of
compassion. The colour palette, along with
the embellishments of gold crocodiles and
heart prints, sticks closely to the theme of
harmonizing contrast using red, black, white
and gold throughout the collection. As for
accessories, the selection will include tattoo-printed
tights - a bottom to easily tuck
into unisex boxing sneakers or classic ballet
footwear - and LOVE sweatbands to keep
inside a swan-like backpack with mandatory
jump rope.
Designed with the creative impulse to integrate
the softness of ballet with the edginess
of boxing, the stage-ready collection
will launch on March 2nd in select stores
and online.

MIOS Stroller Is All
About Fashionable,
Effortless Movement
Channeling inspiration from Charles and

confidence, Cybex has released the MIOS
stroller to add to their notable assortment

designed for the industrial landscape of a

Catering to urban parents on the go with

Along with its easily expandable and contracting
light-weight frame and adjustable
sun canopy, the MIOS supports a convenient
3-in-1 travel option that adapts as children
grow and require alternative travelling arrangements.
Together with fashion-forward
features - including snack trays and insect
protectors - and a compact design to move
effortlessly through confined spaces, the
MIOS also provides a child with a natural
cooling system thanks to its breathable and
comfortable fabrics. Available in a variety of
canopy colours and stylish prints, the MIOS
design is intelligently practical and ideal for
travelling around city terrain with ease.

Wolf & Rita x JC de
CASTELBAJAC Paris
SS17: Designing
Happyculture
Combining art with sophisticated design,
the Wolf & Rita x JC de CASTELBAJAC
2017 Spring / Summer collaboration is a colourful
medley of poetry, imagination, adventure
and youthful curiosity.
From busy, multi-coloured forest prints to
simple, hand-drawn surrealist designs, the
collection evokes a fantastical world that
aids creative power. Along with accessories,
the artistic European collaboration includes
playful dresses, jumpers and swimsuits, as
well as shirt and pant sets in primary shades
of blue, yellow, red and green.
Together with animal prints and Picasso-like
cubism, the designs vary in shape and size
to open up new means of expression via
spirited children’s wear - all of which are
consciously made locally, in Portugal. The
original Parisian influence of JC de CASTEL-
BAJAC Paris in tandem with Wolf & Rita’s
modern take on traditionalism is uniquely
brought together to experiment with their
notion of Happyculture.

materials. The creative prints juxtaposed

balance for catering to the imaginative lifestyle
of the energetic youth.
Upon its global release, the unique collection

“If you’re prepared
and organized you
are ready for any
surprises or last
minute curveballs.”
Tell us a bit about yourself and Stroller In the City!
I am both a full-time blogger and full-time mother. I used
to work in the fashion industry. I owned my own showroom
for years and sold it right before I had my first child
in 2008.
Where do you live and why do you love your
neighbourhood?
I live in Battery Park City in Manhattan. It feels like a little
suburb of Manhattan…like a gated community. We’re
still in the city but we are surrounded by parks.
What is an ideal day with Ryder, Siella & Gemma like?
Exploring different neighborhoods in the city together is
always fun. We wander around, try new restaurants and
play at the many playgrounds or museums that surround
us.
What is your secret to starting off the week on the
right foot?
Prep and organization…that’s pretty much my secret for
life. If you’re prepared and organized you are ready for
any surprises or last minute curveballs. I make sure to
write lists of the things that need to get done, make sure
my food shopping is complete for the week, and I even
meal plan!
Do you have an anti-stress remedy?
I’d love to say that I meditate regularly but who has time?
Taking a little “me time” is always a de-stresser. Even if it
is a ten-minute walk or a solo lunch—sometimes checking
in with me is the best way to decompress. It gives me
the focus I need to handle other stressful situations with
grace.
We know you love to travel when you aren’t strolling
the city. Where are you planning to visit this year?
We have a few places in mind this year. We are heading
to Disney World in a few weeks and will be experiencing
a Disney Cruise for the first time. And we have plans to
add a few ski trips this winter as well.
What is your weekend routine with the family?
We have sports practice and games on the weekends
usually so we’re still running all over the place. But I like
to have a big fun breakfast together at least one of the
days. I also love to escape the city during the weekends
so we are always taking day trips outside the city!
What are your top five must-have items for Spring
2017?
Hmmmm, I haven’t thought that far out yet, but I am
thinking hats, boho dresses, and a great bag!

Designer Q&A
Outside The Lines
After having worked for years in womenswear friends Philippa and Kate established
Outside the Lines, a British girlswear brand brimming with sophistication,
femininity and a sense of humour that appeals to girls and parents alike.
32
Outside the Lines is a brand new girlswear label
established in 2016 by Philippa Cloete and Kate
Please offering a carefully considered clothing collection
for ages 3-10. The collection has a unique
and contemporary feel infused with extra touches
and includes all the pieces required for a capsule
wardrobe for girls.
The soft colour palette and investment in rich and
interesting fabrics with little details, creates a relaxed
and interchangeable look that appeals to
free-spirited girls who wish to explore their own
style.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Philippa and
Kate about their exciting new label. Read all about
it in this issue’s designer Q&A!
How and why did you launch Outside the Lines?
We initially had the idea for Outside the Lines over
18 months ago sitting in a restaurant in Paris brainstorming
ideas for a girlswear label which was good
quality yet still a considered purchase.
Both of us have worked in womenswear and the
fashion industry for a number of years for some
of the biggest names on the high street including
Next, Topshop and Marks & Spencer, and shared
the same vision that there were plenty of girlswear
brands at the designer and high street end of the
market but very little in between. We really felt that
there was a gap for a girlswear label that doesn’t
compromise on quality but also doesn’t ‘break the
bank’; thus Outside the Lines was born.
We developed the name Outside the Lines which
comes from the ethos that it’s ok for girls to colour
‘outside the lines’, essentially to be creative and
create their own style that is unique to them.
Designer Q&A
34
What made you want to design for children?
As parents ourselves to two girls (Philippa) and two
boys (Kate), we dreamt of working together to create
our own childrenswear label. As soon as we had
children, we became obsessed with kids’ fashion
but struggled to find good quality, stylish clothing
for our own children that were still accessible. We
are big fans of soft muted colours and the little finishing
details that really make clothes stand out.
What is your brand’s mission statement or goal?
To offer a carefully considered yet affordable girlswear
collection with plenty of style that doesn’t
compromise on quality or design.
What are the motivations or inspirations behind
the SS17 designs?
For Spring / Summer ‘17 we have created a collection
that is inspired by global travel combining
elements of bohemian ‘70s style with a more contemporary
look for free-spirited girls who wish to
explore their own style. With a nod to the folk trend,
the 30-piece collection is presented in a colour palette
of soft greys and neutral shades with ethnic
handicraft touches in pops of neon, complemented
by denim chambray workwear pieces with an Eastern
influence. Folk-inspired tassels and pom-poms
reminiscent of the ‘70s, make an appearance, keeping
the bohemian spirit of this collection alive.
Highlight pieces in the collection include the all-inone
playsuit punctuated with white embroidery, the
pom-pom tapestry jacket in accents of neon and
the white lace petticoat dress with pretty tie closure
for the back - perfect for a summertime look.
Is there a style decade you are inspired by?
There is no particular decade we are particularly
inspired by but we like to design classic pieces
for girls that can be dressed up or down and won’t
date.
What makes your label stand out in the
industry?
We have spent a long time ensuring we offer great
quality yarns and fabrics that are soft and luxurious
in beautiful textures and cool patterns - perfect
for layering or making a statement on their own.
The investment in rich and interesting fabrics and
the unique designs really sets us apart from other
brands.
What do you have coming up that you are really
excited about?
We have just finished showing our AW17 collection
at Playtime Paris, the childrenswear tradeshow, and
we were delighted to receive such a positive response
from stockists all over the world so we look
forward to Outside the Lines going global.
What is/are your favourite item/s from the
current collection?
Philippa: My favourite pieces from the SS17 collection
are the pompom tapestry jacket, the frilled
sleeve trimmed stripe tee and the chambray dress.
Kate: The navy embroidered all-in-one playsuit, the
frill sleeve waistcoat and the sequin swing vest are
some of my favourite pieces from this collection.

Kate invite you to vist

desire to create fashion pieces for women,
but for the little ones as well, so we
continue to spread positivity, creativity
and above all, fun to the children’s market.
We came up with a collection for kids
as a mini reflection, from size 4 to 12,
with clean lines and practical details.
We highlight a child’s natural beauty using
eye-catching colors and cute prints,
focusing on well-made, great fitting
garments with safe fabric and materials.
What are you influenced by?
I search for new things all the time.
My inspiration comes from trips to the
ocean seaside, places like Spain, Caribbean
where I found the quaint old
beach towns, interesting street styles,
bold and colorful architecture; the kids
around, the things they say, their look
and their imaginations!
What are the themes for the new
collection?
This summer the theme will be playful,
with bright color-blocks, prints like
pineapples, waves, and floral. We also
added some sweet details and appliqués
like flower buds, pompoms and
cute bows. Splashing in the water will
be extra fun with our different range of
girl’s swim collection.

"Tell your daughter she is beautiful. But teach
her that beauty is found in intelligence, in
confidence, in kindness and in perseverance."

"Utilize their strengths in a positive way. Encourage their dreams.
Let them fail, so they learn how to fix problems. As a mom, it's
hard to watch our kids stumble. However, I have found that it's
the "getting back up" that teaches the best lessons."

company, Rachel and Co., shortly after
her twin daughters were born. In doing

Ada Chan
mother of Alfie and Ava
founder of Minimodel Gallery Inc.
Minimodel Gallery is an Online children’s boutique
for the modern family. Minimodel Gallery strives to
select garments, toys, and décor brands that are
high fashion as well as practical and good quality.
It is important that every collection captures the
magical personalities of the children.
When shopping for her son, Ada couldn’t find
pieces she liked and began looking overseas. She
had the idea of opening up a children Online store
but didn’t begin the process of creating Minimodel
Gallery until maternity leave with her daughter. She
used the time to put on a customer hat and build
her website with a personal perspective.

"Don't be afraid to let them explore and to express themselves by
way of small rebellions and decisions. Let them know that it is okay
to learn from their mistakes and celebrate their strengths... If you
foster a strong, courageous girl, she will be an independent thinker
who will stand up for herself as well as support others in need!"
58
"Constantly remind them of the power they have to do and become anything and
everything they want. I started my business by finding my passion and staying
true to my voice and what I had to offer the world. I want my daughters
to know that they possess a perfect combination of special talents that make
them uniquely them and that as long as they are true to what they love,
all things are unapologetically possible."
