About

Children’s Retail Today – the one online publication for anyone with a passion for children’s fashion.

A Decade of Street Cred

As the one & only managing editor of leading trade publication HUDSON’S Childrenswear Review –on board for its creation in 2005 until the final issue in 2011- I’ve covered the great children’s fashion success stories, interviewing dozens of specialty retailers, mass merchandisers, family business owners, manufacturers, designers & decision makers who are leading the way to success in every aspect of the children’s business today.

Children’s Retail Today is eight years old!

Launched in 2009 to compliment HUDSON’S editorial and re-branded as Children’s Retail Today in 2012, I’m celebrating seven years of getting the word out about innovative, imaginative and inspiring products for children to love.

I write about fun and functional products, key companies, inspiring designers and important issues affecting not only industry professionals, but consumers as well. And of course, kids fashion!

  1. Madam, Sir, hello,

    I am a new creator of clothes and accessories for them
    Children. I created the mark(brand) Bbk, inspired by the decorative arts of
    The 20s, completely made in France.
    I allow to send you a press kit, by hoping that
    Monunivers will seduce you.
    Cordially

  2. You ARE doing a great job on featuring great new brands on your pages. I thought more in the educating editorial direction. It’s not a secret that fashion revolves around a female, but once, and not so long ago clothes and appearance were important part of a men’s life too.
    Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate it.

      Hi Julia-

      Children’s Retail Today is all about introducing our readers to fresh brands, collections and lines – for both boys and girls. For instance, Andrew Fezza Boys is a favorite!

  3. I am a founder/blogger of Boys Be Cool – a style and shopping resource for the chic-onomic parents of boys. It is possible to dress boys in style on a tight budget. Boys Be Cool has set out on a mission to change the grim landscape of the boys’ fashion and root out the outdated perception of boys’ clothes as plain necessity. Maybe we could join the forces in this style battle. Hudson’s is definitely a heavy artillery of a whole different caliber, that could change the course of events:)
    I’ve have also submitted the subscription form twice with no results.
    I would be grateful if you could check it for me. Thanks!

  4. Dear Janet and Courtney,

    Congratulations to everyone at HUDSON’S on producing a beautiful, elegant July 2010 issue! As always you have captured the pulse of what’s happening on your fashion pages! Once again I am so happy to have my jewelry collection, Party Elegance “Kidz “featured on many pages, adorning beautiful clothing. The children featured here modeling are exquisite as well.

  5. Hi! I’m Jennifer from Wisconsin. I’m a mom of four young daughters and I just launched my web-based company on Jan. 1st, called Rock-a-Thigh Baby.

    I design eco-friendly, functional and fashionable, baby thigh-high socks (not legwarmers) for infants and children. I outsource the manufacturing here in the USA. Unlike other children’s socks THESE socks stay up and stay on little legs and feet, and provide full leg coverage like tights while having the convenience of socks.

    I’m hoping you will do a product review of RTB to help give my product exposure. Thank you so much for the consideration!

    Warm Regards,

    ~Jennifer, owner of Rock-a-Thigh Baby, LL
