Spring has nearly sprung and that means it is time for mac and cheese, short sleeve tees and “mommy, can we please?” Keeping your little ones clothed and looking cool at the same time can seem like an endless challenge, especially when the styles they are craving for could have been grown with dangerous chemicals. Vancouver-based Fig Kids, younger alternative to the adult-sized Twice Shy line, makes both kids and parents happy.

Made from organic cotton and a small touch of lycra for stretch and durability, the Fig line is on the verge of debuting its Spring/Summer 2008 collection. Here at Victoria-E.com, we’ve got a sneak preview of that collection just for you! As the United States Official Spokesperson for Twice Shy, I’ve got the inside scoop on all of the upcoming Fig goodies, and they are pretty freaking swank if I do say so myself.

Talking with brand designer Jen MacCormack recently, she told me about the inspiration for Fig’s upcoming collection. “There are a lot of 1970s references: rainbows, jumpsuits, striped fabric (which is new for us), rock ‘n roll, view masters, etc. I grew up in the 70s and I just can’t help myself - so many great ideas to play on!” Along with adding striped fabric for the first time, Fig is also premiering its first collection with organic cotton denim jeans. Rumor has it the Spring/Summer 2008 line from Twice Shy will also have organic denim for men and women, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Before I show you some exclusive pictures of the upcoming Spring/Summer 2008 Fig collection for kids and baby, I must send a big congratulations to Michael Ziff (co-founder of Twice Shy) and his wife, who recently brought Ibi Margaret, an undeniably beautiful girl, into this world - much love to all three of you!
