Would your let your baby wear a onesie displaying Kate Moss' 2009 quote, "Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels"?
But fashion, from clothing lines to perfumes, has become saturated with celebrity-created or endorsed brands and the next move appears to be baby products. As the unchartered terrain about to be conquered, baby products are an inevitable step, considering the growing popularity of celebrity baby news. But while Angelina Jolie is busy with films, which stars are putting out baby gear lines?
Although not the designer, Kate Moss is associated with a recent baby product line displaying her 2009 quote: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Your baby might not know the difference, but from a parenting perspective, should any mother or father dress their young child in a onesie with a pro-anorexia slogan?
A line created by Snoop Dogg and David Beckham may not be any better. Although in the initial stages, a baby gear line by this unusual duo that met on reality series Father Hood could turn into a novelty brand specifically for hip-hop or soccer fans.
Even if these two celebrity-related lines are the paradigm of inappropriate baby clothing, not all star-created baby products are this self-promotional, tacky, or extreme. PetitNest, a line of sheets and décor created by Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tiffani Thiessen, actually appears practical. Although more expensive than most baby décor lines, PetitNest was created by Thiessen and Design Star finalist Lonni Paul after the television star couldn’t find baby products she liked. If you look at PetitNest, however, the sheets and décor are far away from the star’s personality and, so far, can be considered a more practical celebrity-related line.
