I just got back from the Best & Co. showroom where I had the chance to preview their new fall ’08 back-to-school collection for boys and girls, as well as their most extensive newborn layette cashmere and prima cotton collection. The garments range the gamut from $18 up to $275 and the new layette pieces are absolutely gorgeous (though can you ever go wrong outfitting your little tot in pure cashmere!?). It was a little nostalgic for me because I remember wearing Best & Co when I was younger (the company was founded in 1871 and has long been known for making some of the best traditional, elegant fashions for young girls and boys). I was also told by Best & Co’s gracious PR rep Louisa that they will be collaborating with swim wear guru Shoshanna for tot bikinis and bathing suits! If that’s not enough for you, come Holiday they’ll be teaming-up with Peter Som for a line of boys and girls dresses and separates – -can’t wait to see what Som comes-up with:)
Read-on for some stand-outs from the Fall ’08 collection which will be available this September!
How cute are these two cashmere hoodies!? They will retail for around $150 and come in pink and blue, and are sized for newborns to 24 month olds.
Also love this cashmere, cable knit baby blanket and the scalloped one (has snaps that you can snap-off to pop your baby in for a cozy little nap!). They will go for around $250 — how great would these be as a gift for any new or expectant mother?? The blankets come in cream, pink, and blue.
Best & Co. is available online, at their flagship store in Greenwich, CT, and at Bergdorf Goodman.
