On Monday I visited Bubble London, the bi-annual kids trade show here in London. Bubble concentrates on kids fashion, but fashion and interiors do influence each other so it was a good opportunity to sample the mood for spring/summer 2013. (If any of the Bubble London organisers are reading this: can we please have more interiors in future shows so we don’t have to travel to Paris and Amsterdam if we want to see both? Thank you!)
Here is an impression of my visit. My eye was drawn to candy and neon colours, combined with grey and white and raw materials such as scrap wood and cardboard.
1. New kids on the block Corby Tindersticks offer some awesome quirky toys and posters. And had a dino with an orange afro on their stand.
2. Little Creative Factory, founded by two architects from Barcelona, showed the most beautiful swimsuits and INCREDIBLE totes at what was easily my favourite stand.
3. Some nice geometric patterns in fresh colours from Kidscase.
4. Beautiful simple dresses from Little Troll.
5. Neon sandals from MAA.
6. Piet Hein Eek scrap wood wallpaper at the stand of Little Creative Factory.
7. Rockin’ wellies and jewel colours at I Love Gorgeous.
8. Love this print T-shirt from Red Urchin.
9. A cute cap from Little Creative Factory again – these girlfriends rock : )
For those wishing to read more about the trends for spring summer 2013, I recommend having a look at the trend reports over at Zoe & Drew, Little Scandinavian, and Smudgetikka. Enjoy!

Thanks for the little peak into bubble world, I had intended to visit on Sunday, but the day ran away with me and back to work on Monday. I absolutely love Corby Tindesticks and all of the neon touches.
Thanks Kate – shame you couldn’t make it, but there will be another one before you know it : )
A great insight here and I agree we need more interiors at this show. Thank you Ursula for including a link to my trend report.

You’re welcome Zoe – hopefully Bubble will take note : )
Thank for this peek into the world of Bubble! I’m loving the Rockin’ wellies 🙂
I thought a rock chick like you might like these : )
Lovely to get a peak into trade fairs we wouldn’t otherwise see-thanks Ursula! X
Glad you like Caroline – love your trade sneak peaks too!
Oh yes, agreed with Caroline – love sneak peaks like this 🙂 Sandals in the 5th image remind me of my childhood. I want some now, lol. Thanks so much for sharing Ursula! Xx.
Good idea! Let’s look for some grown-up neon sandals…
