The French take fashion seriously and age seems not to be a barrier. Browsing through the net an article in CNN caught my eyes about the French fashion house Jaures Après Lines, and their new collection “Loungerie”.
The concept behind this new collection is to create a brand dedicated to “loungerie” just for children (Lounge wear and Lingerie together), which can be worn inside or outside. The designs are similar to lingerie which to me is beautiful but only on an adult. Without sounding orthodox, hardly any clothes seemed appropriate for children.
What is hotly debated and discusses is that more than the lingerie itself it is the styling and marketing of the product that has come into being so disturbing. The 14 year olds are seen with matching panty and bra, teased hair, lipstick, pearls and a come hither look!

Coco Channel said “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses alone. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live” but I doubt if this interpretation of fashion by the French is even noteworthy.
this is just wrong :’(
I agree, it is a surprise not many people think the same!
I love the idea of loungerie, but I’m not sure it’s appropriate for children. If they were to take this idea and translate it to women’s fashion, it would be much more successful and certainly a trend that you would see brought over to the US.

I wish it would stay for adults only too! and what i am most upset is the marketing trend they have used. Its sad people allow that.
I agree…this is not for children! The idea works well for adults but on children…its just not what we want to see!!
This is disgusting! First of all, children don’t need lingerie and those photos are so sexualized that they are just inviting pedophiles.
I am surprised they got such young models to do this.
Wow, that is so sad. I totally agree with you, that is so inappropriate.

I should have kept a poll and I am sure majority would agree with what you said.

I agree with you, not the thing for children.
Not the thing for me, either. When I’m lounging around the house, I want something cute and loose that enables me to truly lounge, without worrying about whether my tummy is pushing out there a bit.
