The best parade of kids’ fashion hit the runways of New York once again last weekend for the eighth edition of petitePARADE. And once again, the kids and designers wowed. If you weren’t lucky enough to be there, never fear. We’ve got the highlight reel ready for you.

Backstage these girls are ready to rock their vibrant Aria trench coats and tulle skirts (not to mention some playfully teased hair).

Fresh, smart fall looks for girls and boys by Anais & I almost make us want to skip the summer and jump right into the next school year.

While Biscotti & Kate Mack showcased some bold, dark colors, it was their dreamy, ethereal dresses that stole our hearts.

And Bonnie Young took us from casual glamour…

…to straight-up chic. (And we took note that legwarmers work for both!)

And finally, the street-slick look of Dillonger was almost too cool for school. We give it an A+.

But what we love most about the looks at petitePARADE are the many different ways for kids to find and express their own version of cool.
