Hot Product: Pop Culture Tees for Toddlers

by Stephanie Wong • Mar 20, 2006 1:26 AM PST

Today's hipster parents from Los Feliz to the Lower East Side are uniformed in the requisite True Religion jeans and Loomstate graphic tees. The urban parent€™s must-haves have been translated into mini versions suitable for their toddlers. These hip kids are outfitted in their own mini-sized pop culture t-shirts. We attribute this trend to style conscious parents, the recent celebrity baby-boom, and the sudden surge of hard-to-resist mini-sized graphic tees. Labels including Angelic Genius, Lemon, Mini Trunk (Trunk Ltd.), and Kinglsey specialize in tees for babies, toddlers, and children up to size 14.

Styles range from long sleeve thermals to shrunken pre-washed cotton tees. Rocker themed tees dominate imprinted designs. Punk fans will love the two-sided Sid Vicious tee depicting the Union Jack with Sid€™s face on the front and a collage of the €˜70s Pistols on the back. Wild rockers Kiss, everyone's favorite Beatle John Lennon and the Doors are also plastered on t-shirts for rock stars in the making. For statement-loving toddlers, pop culture slogans that parents can appreciate, include €œText Me Now€�, €œFuture DJ€�, €œMy Peeps€�, €œSleepless Wonder€�, and €œPeace Love and French Fries€�. My favorite is €œJ€™Adore Milk€�, which Dior fans will recognize as a take on the J€™Adore Dior tees for adults.
