Bobo Choses: A Folk Song

Bobo Choses: A Folk Song

Like many, I find the Winter months after Christmas hard, so the arrival of our SS24 collections is just the lift we all need to banish those Winter blues. First up, the mighty Bobo Choses, injecting a much needed splash of colour and a whole heap of sunshine into an otherwise grey day.

“A Folk Song” launches here at Junior Edition next week and we are so excited to share some of our personal highlights from the collection with you. A tribute to folkloric traditions, the collection is inspired by folk festivals where children and adults gather in the streets among musicians, storytellers, dancers and creatures.

Bobo Choses Forever Now

Bobo Choses Forever Now

Bobo Choses’ new AW22 collection Forever Now is all about time. What is time? Who is it? What does it want? Whilst it might prove to be a tricky thing for adults to get to grips with this is definitely not the case for children who have their own way of relating to it. For them, time is flexible, malleable, friendly, and a constant present.

 

Talking Bobo!

Talking Bobo!

Talking Bobo is a way of being. Non-sensical to adults but a very real and natural way of being for children, where imaginations run wild and reality is turned on its head.

The collection itself is born out of a series of original stories and poems (also available to buy) that eventually come to life in the form of prints and shapes you find in every range from the magical universe of Bobo Choses.

Repose: The Other Side of Paradise

Repose: The Other Side of Paradise

Clothing wise it's been one the most unusual to date, with collections trickling through in multiple drops across almost all brands due to impact on production and distribution during this tumultuous year.

One brand that was already doing things differently (and by their own free will I hasten to add) is Amsterdam based Repose AMS who moved to a refreshingly different approach to selling clothes at the end of 2019, releasing four collections across the year - two main and two capsule, aimed at bucking the trend of selling summer shorts in February and winter coats in July.
