Editor's Notes: One year after dropping kid-sized Geobaskets, prince of darkness Rick Owens is back with a fully realized collection of children's clothing.
The impetus? Per a press release, more and more of Owens' colleagues are having children.
"After 20 years of working together, babies are entering our lives in a big way," the designer said, listing the names and ages of his co-workers' kids, as well as his very own grandchildren: Nicée (three-years-old) and Petra (one).
"Like the furniture and clothes we make, it has always been about furnishing our world and meeting our personal needs in the most harmonious way possible... making things for our babies is our new chapter," Owens concluded.
So what can tiny goths expect from the line? The "Babygeo" collection includes drape-y hoodies, puffer vests, T-shirts, and of course, Geobaskets. Tiny low-tops, drop-crotch sweats, and €95 socks round out the range.
Owens isn't the only designer making ultra-luxe childrenswear. Thom Browne, Versace, and Fendi all offer diminutive styles. Last year, luxury retailer SSENSE launched a kid's section stocked with the likes of Chopova Lowena, Balenciaga, and ERL.
So the next time you're invited to a baby shower, don't be surprised if a pair of Rick Owens' tiny Geobaskets are on the registry.
