Kids are the future of our industry. The small fry of today is the World Champion of tomorrow. Moreover, they add cuteness to every horse show! It’s always really sweet to watch the leadline class and see so many kids that are enthusiastic about their four-legged friends.
But how important is fashion for children? Is it difficult to make them happy when it’s about show clothes? To find out more, I interviewed Brittanie Herrnstein of Brittz Glitz. Brittanie specialized in creating clothes for the little ones, and she explained me how it is to work with them. Do you want to find out more? Then, go on reading.
What is appropriate for a kid to wear?
Brittanie: “In my opinion, ANYTHING with lots of sparkle and color. I’m a big fan of a ton of color on kids clothing. I also love classic black, but you have to add a big pop of color. Kids are only little once, so I believe we need to embrace the youthful look as long as we can!”
Normally, moms choose clothes for their kids. How many kids want to choose their own outfits?
Brittanie: “I have been blessed with amazing clients, where mom and child work together. Moms usually pick the main color, and we let the kids choose the fun parts of the designs. I had a little girl last year that was obsessed with unicorns, so I made sure that she had sparkly unicorns on her vest.”
Kids change their minds quite fast. How do you manage to create an outfit that is always super for them?
Brittanie: “I like to get the kids really excited about their outfits. I add a ton of texture to the majority of my outfits, and it’s always fun to watch them find all of the new pieces that they hadn’t seen the first few times they wore their garment. It’s almost like an I Spy book that they wear!”
What are the main differences in creating outfits for children instead of adults?
Brittanie: “The main difference in creating kid’s clothing is that I’m able to have a little more fun with color, and, to be honest, it makes me feel younger. Kids are so creative and so much fun to work with. I like to include them as much as possible through the process of design.”
Do you want to add anything?
Brittanie: “I would like to add that I’m beyond blessed with how far my business has come in such a short amount of time. I have the most amazing clients anyone could ask for. I want to thank my family for everything they do to help Brittz Glitz. I’m excited to see what the future holds!”
Thanks Brittanie! It was such a pleasure making this fun and interesting interview!
Color is a key word when we talk about kid’s clothes. Fashion is a fundamental part of showing horses, no matter the age. Little girls dream to look like princesses, and wearing show clothes can make this dream come true. Covered in stones and enlightened with fun colors, they can be stars at every horse show. Because, at the end, we all dream to be princesses.
