The early stages: Functionality and simplicity
In ancient times, clothes for babies and children were mainly functional and practical. Ancient cultures produced simple garments made from natural materials such as cotton and linen. These garments were designed to keep children warm and comfortable, without too much emphasis on style or design.
18th and 19th centuries: The Industrial Revolution and the development of children's fashion
With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the production of textiles and clothing became faster and more efficient. This led to greater availability of children and baby clothes. However, children’s fashion was still influenced by adult fashion and the garments were mainly miniatures of older people’s clothing.
The 20th Century: The era of individuality and creativity
The 20th century marked a turning point in children’s and baby fashion. With the rise of designers specializing in children’s clothing, the industry began to take a more creative and diverse approach. Adult fashion trends began to influence children’s clothing and the garments became more stylized and colourful.
