Alternative
Baby Clothing
|
Dress your bambino with attitude!
Whoever coined the phrase that there is nothing new under the sun was
clearly not expecting to see the latest trend in clothing for infants
and toddlers. The members of the punk rock generation of the ‘80s are
the parents of today and it seems that a good number of them chose to
go the way of Peter Pan and simply refused to grow up. That is the only
viable explanation for the aforementioned baby clothing trend: “alternative”
baby wear. Parents are now able to dress their little Joeys and Siouxsies
in all manner of punk-rock and biker inspired clothing designed to make
even the most anti-social and anarchistic parents say, “Isn’t he a cute
little punk?”
Available at various specialty shops and a number of online retailers,
these clothing items intended for infants and toddlers consist primarily
of Tee shirts bearing slogans like “If you can read this… THE BIB FELL
OFF!” and “Little Punker” colored in the requisite blacks, reds, and
hot pinks. Many of these articles hail from the UK and are available
in the US by mail order only. The panhandling punks of yesteryear must
have a bit of cash saved up, however, at a UK site called The Rally
Shack the aforementioned “bib” slogan shirt as well as a hot pink tee
adorned with a pattern of skulls and crossbones that might look more
fitting donning the chest of John Lydon or Iggy Pop sells for £10.00
(about $18.00 US) and is available in 6, 18, and 24 month sizes. Eighteen
bucks is a pretty hefty price for a baby tee that is going to be spit
up on and outgrown, but, with the number of these sites in business,
there must be a market. A few other offerings follow.
The Kids Window
This UK based site offer US, UK, European, and world versions and sells
traditional and alternative baby clothes. Of particular interest are
the “Jolly Roger” skull and crossbones tees, “Head Banger” tees and
“hoodies” bearing both legends and slogans. Prices range from about
£12.00 to £16.99 (about $22.00-$31.00 US). Yes, your 6 month old can
wear a hoodie! Just like Eminem!
Lucky L’il Devil
This American site has got to be seen to be believed. It offers everything
you could want to turn your baby or toddler into a little hoodlum all
under one convenient roof. In addition to the rock and pop culture inspired
Tee shirts (personal favorites include the Betty Page tee, the Ramones
homage tee that reads “Hey, Ho, Let’s Go,” and the disturbingly humorous
tee reading “333 – Halfway to Hell”), Lucky L’il Devil offers full outfits
like apron dresses and leggings that bear images like the female silhouette
familiar to truckers everywhere and slogan “Daddy Drinks Because I Cry.”
Prices range from $17.00-$18.00 for tee shirts, $34.00-$36.00 for apron
dresses, and $17.00 for leggings.

later with my two beautiful babies. They were both naturally
conceived after years of “trying”. Here's how it happened…
