Young Versace

If you’re looking to add to your preschooler's collection of $300 Burberry bags, $80 Armani polo shirts, or $250 polka-dot Dior dresses, you’re in luck. Earlier this month, two more heavy lifters in the fashion world – Versace and Lanvin -- announced they will be creating kid-sized lines for 2012.

According to Versace’s CEO, the fashion house will produce "a high-end, glamorous and colorful collection in line with the brand’s essence, with a touch of rock ’n’ roll" for kids 0-12.

Take a look at the sketches, and you’ll see the rock ‘n’ roll. There’s the sequined hoodie, the girl sassily decked out in combat boots next to her friend in dark sunglasses, and a boy showing off his Versace bicep tattoo.

There is no word on price points, but the company said the clothes will be made from natural fabrics and feature prints that use the fashion house’s symbols of the Medusa and Greek frieze. The Lanvin collection will be made from fabrics costing 10 times that of a typical children’s line, the fashion house said.

We’ve seen the pictures of Suri Cruise decked out in designer duds head-to-toe. But it’s not just the richest celebrities who are snatching up high-end clothes for their little ones. Clearly, there’s a market for pint-sized lines, as multiple designers have released collections in recent years that allow children to be mini-mes of their fashionable parents.

What about you? Are you willing to drop a few hundred on a sweater or hoodie if it bears the name or style of the world’s most famous designers? Tell us why or why not.
