When Samantha Meiler shops for her son, she has a very specific look in mind: designer jeans, velour track suits, L.A.M.B. sneakers, a sporty-urban vibe.
“My son’s style is very Kingston,” she says, referring to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s boy. “I make no qualms about it. I see pictures of Kingston and I say, ‘I want that outfit for my son.’”
Of course, little Rossdale is still a toddler, and Meiler’s son is just 21 months old. But they’re part of a growing set of pint-sized fashion plates, wearing shrunken-down versions of trendy adult clothes.
In the past few years, the obsession with dressing little kids like Dogtown skaters, Malibu moms and even Upper East Side socialites has hit a new, Suri-high level.
