Kids Chicago - June 23, 2008

Cool as Kice

Kice Kice Clothing

Summer of 1992 called and wants its Daisy Dukes back.

Pass the message on to little miss and buy her ecochic dresses from Kice Kice. Designed by twin sisters Lesley Nishigawara (textile designer) and Karen Kice (architectural history and theory grad), the line (for sizes 3 months to 6 years) features pretty color pairings and contrast stitching.

In addition, unisex shorts and tees can be mixed and matched. The sweatshop-free designs are made from organic combed jersey with water-based pigments.

Ecofriendly? That’s always in style.

Available at Grow, 1943 West Division Street, at Damen Avenue (773-489-0009 or grow-kids.com). To see styles, go to kicekice.com.
