These days I often see little girls on the streets and I can’t help but feel jealous of how stylish they look aged just 4 or 5. But, my kids’ style-envy is about to get a LOT worse as Lanvin launches its first ever Lanvin Petite collection. Designed by Alber Elbaz himself, and with all the trademarks of his womenswear line, this is pretty much the most adorable kids’ range I’ve ever seen. Yes, I’d quite like every piece – for myself!

Very reminiscent of the main line, these are the perfect little dresses to create the most stylish mini-fashionista this planet has ever seen. They’re luxurious and beautifully designed, but still fun and a little cheeky at times – just the way kids’ clothes should be. Sure, perhaps Lanvin might be a little extravagant and over the top for kids that age, but little princesses need an outfit to match their mommy? Right?

There will also be four exclusive rag dolls dressed in pieces of the collection, proceeds of which will be donated to the charity Designing Hope.

I am an auntie to 4 lovely, gorgeous boys. Sadly, this is one of those moments where I’m a little sad I haven’t got a little niece to spoil rotten. In stores from November 2011.

Has anyone told Suri Cruise yet?
