Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes daughter Suri Cruise has been the talk of the town slightly before she learnt to balance herself and walk. Every park outing, new addition to her wardrobe is scrutinized by fashion editors and makes the news headlines. The craze of this young fashionistas style choices has reached a point, that designers are queuing up to custom make her frocks and the world awaits to see her next pick of designer label! The kid is 6yrs old now and has a wardrobe that any grown up would want to inherit. Complete with red lipsticks, golden sandals, pink fedoras, metallic ballerinas and feminine, ladylike cardigans and designer gummy boots.

Willow Smith, the musical prodigy or rather fashion prodigy (ok, let’s just settle for ‘popstar prodigy’), the daughter of Jada Pinkett Smith & Will Smith broke all pop records with her smash hit single ‘Whip my hair’. Not only lyrically and vocally strong, the song showcased Willow’s rebellious and shocking fashion sense that would give Lady Gaga something of a complex. The video has received 74 million hits to date and put the 11 yr old in the league of Rihanna and Katy Perry in terms of celebdom and fashion. Every red carpet arrival of this kid is awaited and god, does she deliver! The latest paparazzi shot featured a greenish yellow skinhead with tomato red sweater and skinny pants. While most pre teens are dealing with issues, this one is out to grab eyeballs of the entire world!

The kid who out does Willow is Über cool Rock star, Gwen Stefani’s über fashionable son Kingston Rossdale. Like seriously, which 5 yr old wants a Mohawk, and which parents are those who allow their kid to rock electrifying Mohawks and make faces at the paparazzi? Totally adorable. For obvious reasons, the kid’s moves and wardrobe are followed very closely not just because of his famous and very fashionable parents but also his interesting personality! We wonder what this little punk is going to grow up to be!

Talking about mini replicas of fashionable celeb parents, the one star kid who has emerged to be a mirror image of her celeb mom is Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon. With an edgy wardrobe and an attitude to match she apparently gives lessons to Madonna in the dressing department. Now that’s some serious talent. We can’t wait to see where she takes her famous lineage, looks and talent. Good luck little one, it’s going to take some guts to outshine your mother (who also happens to be the godmother of shock and fashion).

Fortunately, being fashionable under 18 is legal!

So let’s begin with the very sexy body chains (very obviously India inspired) which make almost the perfect summer accessory. Why you ask? Because these are best teamed with bikinis, bra-tops and other mid-riff baring paraphernalia-in short all of summer’s favorites! If you adore the way chains drape themselves and accentuate outfits, but are having a tough time finding an opportune moment to don a midriff baring outfit, try Nicole Richie style of chain headpieces which she teams up with pretty much everything in her wardrobe!

Another fun new accessory on the block is pair of Retro Sunnies. Cat eyes come to your mind don’t they? Well, imagine everything from Matrix movie (Neo) to Audrey Hepburn! Now add a dose of fresh creativity in terms of patterns and materials and you get some very futuristic looking sunnies which burnt the runways last year! Just like the zany flat-forms which are a hybrid version of the platforms of 1970s. Their Zen inspired look pretty much balances any outfit with ease, be it skinny pants or palazzo pants which are proving to be a favourite of Bollywood this season!

And how can we have an accessory list without a bag? This season, bags look almost an extension of many tribal inspired collections which had a spell of healthy neons and geometric art. Tribalesque Bags make the must have bohemian accessory of this summer. Keep them for the chic dresses and minimalistic everyday wear..anything that allows your bag to take centre stage!
