MINI A TURE
Press Release Spring/Summer 2012
SS12 - Le Cirque du MINI A TURE
The MINI A TURE children find themselves at a traditional circus. They are having a great time pretending to be the circus acts themselves and are entertained by the clowns with their big red noses and oversized shoes! One of the boys plays the role of the strong man, complete with a moustache. Another plays the circus director with his top hat and big belly…he has to wear braces to stop his trousers from falling down! No circus is complete without its animals and this circus has sea lions that can balance balls on the tips of their noses and lovable elephants that can carry out the most impressive of moves. The girls pretend to be line dancers and circus princesses who gracefully ride horses whilst wearing the prettiest of dresses. The circus is abound with colour and is located in the middle of an enormous field. The big tent is surrounded by circus wagons that are intricately decorated with stripes and flowers in charming pastel shades.
NEWS
The collection for babies features softer qualities and soft colours that are particularly suitable for newborn babies. The Mini collection still includes designs that are suitable for babies and toddlers, in particular those who are beginning to sit upright and will soon be able to walk. The Kids collection is designed for children aged 2 – 10 years and is more functional in terms of its qualities but features a range of different designs that ensures that the pieces within this collection are more suitable for children within this age group. The colours are still soft, but other more fashion forward colours are included in this collection, which is also inspired by adult trends and by people and children in general.
The SS12 collection features a focus on detailing and a MINI A TURE piece should be instantly recognisable by way of its unique detailing. Contemporary design combined with detailing gives a piece of clothing a ‘special’ look that transcends to the wearer.
This season, MINI A TURE will be designing for three deliveries: January, February and March. This strategy can been devised in order that retailers receive delivery of the designs that are truly in season at that time. Therefore, no longer will retailers be receiving summery clothes when it is still too cold. This will also ensure that retailers ensure that their shop floors are constantly being updated, providing customers with a reason to keep returning.
MINI A TURE will also be adding special hangtags to carefully selected hand-picked pieces which they feel have an added extra when it comes to the design, look or quality.

• MINI A TURE has chosen to work with delicate and functional fabrics
