The collection, which launches August 24, features a range of velvet dresses and jackets in addition to whimsical prints and a dreamy palette of colors, all of which were inspired by the nostalgia of childhood. In the FW17 look book for the luxury childrenswear line, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal noted, “Stories are such as wonderful part of childhood.
