I say, if you want to raise a fashionista you gotta get 'em young. As we all know, fashion is a pretty cut throat biz [0] and you have to have an extensive skill set to survive. One can teach the art of customization and fine fabrics as early as the newborn stage - contrary to popular belief. Here is a teaching tool: a plush, posh blankie from The Gigi Blanki Co. [1]. Choose from an array of styles - a blanki, burpi, or toothi - and a selection of fabrics and colors; they cost $8-$25. Each one is handmade; one side is soft and fuzzy, the other is silky and comforting. And to prove my point: these have been tested and approved by fashionista-in-the-making katiesugar [2].
