CHILDREN was founded by Rob Flate, a DJ and artist born and raised in LA. The name CHILDREN represents expansion, growth and change.

There’s a new street culture where the lines between peoples’ styles, musical tastes and artistic sensibilities have blurred. CHILDREN is designed to celebrate that growth while keeping a foot planted in the style of the original great streetwear designers.

CHILDREN rides the line between pop and underground, mainstream and anti-establishment. The designs are inspired by music, LA lifestyle, and streetwear culture. CHILDREN strives to be hip enough to wear, original enough to stand out and classic enough to stick around.

I really wanted to like this brand when I read the e-mail from them, but I’m afraid that the designs just aren’t the kind of thing that excite me. All the designs work pretty well as tees, there’s nothing blowing me away at the moment, but I can see a lot of promise and the people behind the brand certainly seem very passionate, so hopefully I’ll have a more positive review next time I see something from Children.

I know that I pretty much never write about clothing for children, but I thought that this was too cool to ignore just because it would barely cover one of my arms (I’m a giant, don’t you know?).

Its pretty much a standard hoodie with a little logo on the left breast, but that dash of brightly coloured ‘hair’ running along the top of the hood is sure take your kid from ‘awww’ to ‘awwwwwwww’. One cool little aspect is that you actually get two interchangeable mohawks for the hoodie, red (pictured) and baby blue, I don’t know particularly why you’d want to change them (we’re at war, pick a side!), but I never stand in the way of people having more choice.

Costiness=$46 (seems quite high for something that they’ll grow out of, is it?) Link [via Stylehive]
