FUB SS13 / Twenty Thirteen

Fresh as SPRING - Unruly as SUMMER

_____________________________________________

From FUB’s point of view it’s as simple as this: fit your child to take on any everyday adventure. Summer is nearly here - as fun and exciting as it is, FUB is well prepared to take on any weather for this season. You can say hello to sunshine in soft, feather light summer styles and welcome whimsical weather in a comfy signature sweater.

Refreshing newcomers and all time favorites

This season FUB adds on a couple of new refreshing key pieces, as always lots of all time favorites with new color twists. Take your newborn to the park in a soft bodysuit with a cute pocket, your curious toddler to the beach in a breezy top and comfortable shorts. Your

pre school kid will love to climb trees in a stretchy, striped t-shirt and cool pants. For the kids at school FUB’s signature sweater with stripes and cool bottoms is still a most wanted item at school camp. Dress the girls for the garden party in a whimsical skirt, leggings or a cool, casual dress - with or without sleeves. As the collections grow even your tweens can hold on to their signature sweater and classic v-neck cardigan.

Easy Breezy Cool

Newest upspring is a baby two piece tank top and shorts for warmer weather. FUB has also added some more sizes and a wider selection of color and stripes to mix and match. The color palette is soft and joyful as a midsummer night’s dream. Dress in Forest Green, Cloudy Grey, Petrol Sky Blue, Sunset Red, Sea Green, Tan Ecru, Beach Beige. Find your favorite styles in three organic cotton qualities; extra fine knit, fine knit and knit. Perfect for layering, inside out and all year round. As always executed with an eye for classic clean design, cool comfortable fit and uncompromising high demand on the quality of materials.

SS13 is all about getting most out of our favorite season and enjoy every second of a relaxing beach vacation, a festive family gathering, a fun festival and the long road trips.

Background:

Founder and designer Marlene Anine Hamann Holmboe was Born in 1975 in the country side of Denmark. She studied ladies fashion design at the Danish Design College from 1999 to 2006. Where she participated at several fashion shows, and exhibitions.  The 5 years of studies turned into 7, as Marlene during her studies became mother of 3. First her son Sebastian, and a few years later the twins Frida Marie and Anna Oline. After the time at Danish Design College Marlene worked as one of the head designers behind one of the largest Danish children’s brand Mini a Ture.

When and Why:

During her time as head Designer, Marlene really became convinced that her designer hart felt at home in the children universe. And a strong feeling to do things “her own way” grew in her mind. In June 2008 she left her job, and launched MarMar Copenhagen along with Lars Ellebaek who has heavy experience from the retail business.

Marlene’s visions were to create a universe in “toned down elegance, where romantic appearance and sharp graphic prints are the contrasts.”  Only the most important details are allowed, the coloures are always toned down, but with an eye catching twist.

Inspiration:

Children inspires, they are so full of contrasts; chocolate spread all over and ballerina outfit simultaneously. But more specific, the inspiration comes from old books, movies and photos. And off cause the fashion history is very inspiring regarding the silhouettes of the styles.

MarMar and the future:

The future for MarMar is the world.. You will find MarMar in all great and inspiring cities around the world, but you will never find MarMar at every corner!

As we say: “You have to walk that extra mile to get MarMar”.

MarMar´s ethical issues:

Regarding sustainability, MarMar always seeks to produce as decent as possible. For example a part of the collection is oko-tex 100 certificated. We are very keen on the work environment, for example through Danish agents, who check the suppliers regularly. MarMar don´t overproduce, which means that we don´t work with stock. And a strong vision is to make a part of MarMar Organic and Fairtrade certificated, and for MarMar those two things go together!  

Designer Anette Nordrup was in the middle of a t-shirt production, when her mother-in-law found an old drawing, that Anette’s husband had made in a song-book as a 4-year-old. The drawing showed a crooked-legged matchstick-man with spiky hair. Anette fell for the happy face, and immediately decided, that the matchstick-man should be her logo.

The idea with the GRO collection was to make a line for girls and boys from newborn to 10 years. To celebrate the life of children, we called the collection GRO which translated means GROW – because every mum and dad know that the most devout time is when our children grow up and we wanted to design clothes for all the children which each day grow.

Later on the Danish flag was introduced on the basic line. The customers - especially the small boys - loved it and from that day on, we knew that the small Danish flag was now a part of the GRO collection.

The GRO collections are known from their ingenious design and their habit to design different children clothing again and again. The materials are smooth organic cotton, fine woven cord, and cashmere, comfortable and contemporary. Inevitably clothes every mum and dad would like the children to grow up in.

Sprout by Gro is a small collection made exclusively for the between girls.

We searched for a name for the line, and when SPROUT appeared we knew from the start, that this was literally the idea - to plant new seed.

Anette Nordrup said: There is still a little girl inside of me, and I desired to make a line for all the wonderful girls in the world.  It was important for me that there were no expectation and no rules - just creativity.

The idea with Sprout was to make a girly collection, where the naive graphic line follows each collection and forms amazing clothes for the betweens.

Anette Nordrup is the designer and developer behind the SPROUT collection. She started up with the children wear company Gro Company. Now she stands behind the new collection called SPROUT.

For Anette Nordrup the SPROUT collection has 3 goals

- to stimulate and open the eyes of the girls to a different world of creativity and to broaden the way of thinking  - to celebrate the girls who stand out from the crowd and who appreciate wearing design of a deeper meaning.

- to make a collection which is designed for the between girls –  which is not adults style and which is not children style, but a style made for the betweens. We don’t want to make tops which are too short, because the girls are still children, but what we would like to design is, new shapes with a simply sophisticated edge.

 - to gather the minimalistic, naive and understated design and make a collection where there are no expectation and no rules - just creativity.

Mini Rodini is one of Scandinavia’s fastest growing children’s wear brands. Selling in some of the most prestigious department stores and independent shops world-wide, from Harvey Nichols in Kuwait to Little Fashion Gallery in Paris. As of now, Mini Rodini is represented in over 250 selected locations aside from the two fully owned stores and the successful web channel.

We believe it is of great importance that children have clothes that match their own mood and creativity. Mini Rodini is a tribute to all children, their imagination and sense that everything is possible. While the aesthetic of our designs – playful and humorous – may speak to children, the quality is equally important. Sustainability is one of our strongest aspects in our whole design process. We design modern children’s clothes that speak to modern and conscientious parents.

Mini Rodini’s collections continue to grow by each season. What started with robot prints in small scale in 2006, has now become complete collections: from heavy duty outerwear and denim to swimwear and accessories. All with the same playfulness and creativity, appreciated by grown-ups and kids alike.

GAUCHO

Equestrian, Burned, Leather, Dust, The Pampas, Matador, Tailoring

The Gaucho kid is like the Sundance Kid: searching for a sunny lifestyle with beautiful horses, beautiful women and beautiful freedom. And just like the Kid is a gentleman and a criminal, our Gaucho trend is full of contradictions like lace and leather, bright and burned colors, Mexico and the Midwest, gringos and cowboys, high drama and a quiet, simple life. Not simple as in cheap, but as in quality: maroon leather ages with beauty, and the best wool will last forever. In Gaucho, men and women dress alike in felt hats and tuff belts, knitted vests and white shirts with rolled-up sleeves. No one leaves home without a scarf. The color scheme stretches from light beige to dark mahogany combined with crisp white, dusty purple, denim blue and bright red and the atmosphere is a proud, honest and Silverado way of living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Olé!

VENICE 79’

Surf, Denim, Prints, Washed colors, Boardwalk, Pinball, Cruising

Life is orange in Venice 79′. Love is in the air, and the surfer dudes are in the water, searching for the ultimate ride on the mavericks offshore. The shorts are short, the hair is long and the bubblegum tastes like watermelon. It is a high-five way of living, the age of innocence and a never-ending California dream. It is hot, hot summer nights wearing soft yellow, minty green, and purple like the electric sky, and it is light blue like the light mornings and warm grey like melting asphalt on long, lazy Sunday afternoons. So put on a colorful viper and bring out the fun and games for a disco day with friends, waves and roller-skating on the boardwalk. Venice 79′ is the days of our lives.

AUNT AUGUSTA’S SUMMER HOUSE

White shirts, Laid back, Garden play, Jackets, Straw hats, Laced dresses, Sophisticated, Gentleman sports

Like The Great Gatsby or the opening scene in Alice in Wonderland, Aunt Augusta’s Summer House is all about white dresses and polo shirts, charlatans and secrets, upstairs and downstairs, manners and misbehaving. The House is full of romantic memories, the furniture is kept in soft, shaded colors and it smells like rose leaves or bluebells or freshly ironed Egyptian cotton sheets. Outside in the garden, the girls are giggling and their soft hair is brushed every night with a hundred strokes. Today it is braided and topped with a silk bow or Aunt Augusta’s infamous flower garlands. The ladies wear laced dresses and straw hats with white ribbons. The gentlemen wear jackets with a vest and a white shirt. It is the same procedure as last year at Aunt Augusta’s Summer House – with afternoon tea served in the garden, laid-back conversations and a game of croquet. Aunt Augusta’s family is one of great fun and great traditions.

JUNGLE EXPLORER

Outdoors, Technical, Repellent, Humidity, Camouflage, Mangrove, Functionality

It is hot and humid in the jungle. The Range Rover has a spare wheel and the boots are practical because you never know what to expect in the forest of the unknown. When exploring the jungle, looking for rare species of flowers and animals, the right gear is of utmost importance. The backpacks are waterproof and camouflaged, the khaki jackets and vests have numerous pockets for holding extra knifes, band aid and the antidote for poisonous snake bites. The jungle explorer knows his life depends on what he wears, so the materials are tough, the cuts practical, the colors low-key and the prints imitate the animals he is searching for. It is a hunt for fun and games and it takes place in a danger zone of dark waters and impassable tracks. We set our special watches: it is time to go and explore!
