Mom likes
her children to dress well. And the kids love looking hip. On
Ibiza there are fashion designers that specialise in creating
and producing stylish clothing for kids. ‘Zarabanda’
is one of the leaders of those firms where the trend ‘chic
for kids’ is already moving into the next season.
José Manuel
Pego, boss of ‘Zarabanda’ introduced his new line
of children’s fashion at a photo shoot in the harbour
of Ibiza Nueva. The Andalusian fashion designer has named his
summer collection 2004 ‘Zarabanda Saludable’. The
photo shoot also served as a goodbye to two of his models who
have been posing at Moda Adlib galas and photo sessions for
several years. Aida Gómez and Sonia Reinado, who in the
meantime have become lovely young women, will no longer be a
part of the group who have brought José Manuel’s
children’s fashion onto the scene.
It was a jolly afternoon for the kids and their parents. The
little mod-els obviously felt quite comfortable in the light
children’s fashion and had an excellent time. The fathers
present captured it all on video, proud mothers arranged curls
and pulled the little dresses into place while photographer
Alberto Drew snapped photos of it all.
José Manuel Pego’s style is an informal look. His
kid’s fashion is made of fine cotton fabric, and the colour
white dominates. It is his personal homage to Ibiza, ‘Isla
Blanca – The White Island’. “Fashion for children
must, above all, be comfortable to wear. Additionally it should
look good even after it has been washed many times,” says
the fashion designer.
The designer also retains the pure Adlib style. The skirts remind
one of traditional Ibicencan costumes. And the hippy touch cannot
be missed along with the valances, peaks and embroidery. As
other fashion designers chase after the newest styles, José
Manuel Pego values traditions.
Thus his style has changed very little over the years, but the
workmanship of his creations is continuously improved. Contact
