My Pink Kisses: Designer Spotlight on an upcoming brand

Image
I spotted My Pink Kisses Shoes on the models at Golden Magazine’s 1st  Fashion Show this past spring. My Pink Kisses not only creates custom sneakers but have added accessories, denim and T-shirts to the line.The talented owner, Martina Harris hails from Detroit, Michigan and moved to New York City to build My Pink Kisses.
Why did you choose to design for children?
I feel that children should be able to express their individuality at a young age. I remember as a child not wanting to wear the same thing everyone else wore. Children know at a young age what type of style and trends they would like to set.That’s we’re we come in because we let the children design their own style of shoes.

We offer affordable fashion items at various price points that works for everyone.
 Children inspire me. All of the work is are envisioned by them. My ideas come from fashion itself I love looking in magazines and going to fashion shows just to see what’s different and what pops. I love to color block for children, it’s one of the hottest styles out! Mixing colors and make them work is trendy.

Playground Fresh launches a cool clothing line

playground collage

I discovered Play Ground Fresh via Instagram, when a friend liked their black and leopard sleeved t-shirt. I loved the shirt (and the name of course) and reached out to Bird Anderson and Nerissa Tucker for an exclusive article for Fresh Kid Nation.

There are items for both girls and boys, though its geared towards little boys who want to dress like their favorite celebrities. Nerissa has a young son and came up with the name Playground Fresh after posting a picture of her child dressed in a Batman inspired outfit. She captioned the photo of her son in the park “Playground Fresh” and it seemed right for the burgeoning apparel line.  Her business partner, Bird is constantly impressed by her creativity and lends his dynamic marketing skills to promote the brand.

Bird Anderson and Nerissa Tucker

Bird has experience promoting events in the Detroit Metro Area and in Atlanta, Georgia. He is constantly around celebrities and athletes and has plans to collaborate with a few for Playground Fresh. On June 6th, Playground Fresh apparel will be featured in Walk University  a part of Walk Fashion Show Detroit 7th Edition.

Playground Fresh offers t-shirts, raglans, crew necks and accessories sizes 2t – youth large. Nerissa creates all the custom items, printed tee shirts are sent out to local screen printing shops and their is also a seamstress on staff. Detroit has always been a city that has rich cultural history and there is a booming a push for children to study art, Bird explains, “People pay attention to fashion. Everyone wears top designers and even kids have a their own fashion sense.”
