In-depth knowledge of the new baby generations is one of the keys to forecasting trends. <\/span><\/p>\n And in this new post we’d like to talk about Generation Alpha, as it’s important to be closely familiar with the <\/span><\/p>\n movements that will influence the world of baby and kids’ fashion and design. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5615″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”www.minicool.net\/books”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>The millennials are now moms and dads!! This is a new stage of life for people born in the ’80s, and the things<\/span><\/p>\n that have influenced their lives will be key when it comes to choosing products for their kids.<\/span><\/p>\n Due to the diverse nature of the influences involved, styles will be based on fusions. <\/span><\/p>\n Almost no-one will have one single style, and it is this variety of styles and the ease with which they can be interchanged that <\/span><\/p>\n will make for more fun designs. Four styles in particular stand out, but we will see them being fused together. <\/span><\/p>\n And while the combinations may seem highly improbable at first, they will in fact be very attractive.<\/span><\/p>\n There will be a minimalist style where less will be more, while prints and patterns will both see an emphasis placed on simple, <\/span><\/p>\n straight lines. We will also have a more classical style, based on traditional materials and time-honored, discreet designs. <\/span><\/p>\n Another standout is a line that will take its inspiration from nature to bring us bright hues, <\/span><\/p>\n energetic fusions of colors, and organic designs. And lastly, a style that seems to be flourishing as it breaks the <\/span><\/p>\n established rules of kids’ fashion. It’s what’s known as mini-adult: adult patterns, designs and prints adapted for young children.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The famous Generation Alpha has arrived on the scene in a strong position. <\/span><\/p>\n These are the children born between 2010 and 2024, and they are forecast to total around 2 billion worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5621″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”www.minicool.net\/books”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Four defined styles and seemingly impossible, but highly attractive, fusions.<\/p>\n This new generation represents a genuine revolution, with 30% of them playing with mobile devices while still in diapers.<\/p>\n That’s something that had never been seen before. This early contact with technology will result in smarter kids,<\/p>\n whose ability to change and evolve will be much greater than that of previous generations.<\/p>\n From a very early age, children will become accustomed to continuous updates and changes to both their educational<\/p>\n environment and the virtual games they play with. And according to some studies, this will bring positive changes<\/p>\n in the minds of these little ones. It’s not yet possible to envisage the kinds of morphological and<\/p>\n cognitive changes they will experience, but they are predicted to be very positive.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5629″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”www.minicool.net\/books”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n It’s amazing how quickly 1 to 3-year olds learn to use mobile devices without any help from their parents.<\/p>\n And a study from the University of London claims that a tablet is more stimulating for a child than a book.<\/p>\n However, the frequent use of these devices by such young children does have its detractors. This concern is only natural<\/p>\n given that we’re dealing with a pioneering generation and the consequences of this new habit are as yet unknown.<\/p>\n Nowadays, there are millions of babies across the globe who are learning to use a tablet or mobile device before they<\/p>\n can walk or read. Intuition plays a very important role in this, as does a universal method of communicating:<\/p>\n recognizable icons, which are easily understood by all, forming a universal language. It’s amazing! A form of communication that<\/p>\n goes beyond ordinary languages. Is this the future?<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5610″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”www.minicool.net\/books”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Screenagers: a high-profile generation who will merge their real lives with the virtual world.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We’ve found a term that defines this new Generation Alpha movement: \u201cSCREENAGERS\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s a new concept that will soon enter into our lexicon. It describes a generation born into a world in <\/span><\/p>\n which almost everything is connected to a telephone and where this level of hyperconnectivity seems almost natural.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The use of social networks has made this generation one with a high profile. <\/span><\/p>\n They’re not the ones who decide where or when to make an appearance, but they’re the \u201cvictims\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n of phenomena such as the selfie, blogs, etc. These babies and young kids are unaware that they’re <\/span><\/p>\n sharing their lives with thousands of other people they know, as information on important events <\/span><\/p>\n in their lives gets published. This includes things such as their first day at school, the end-of-term party, their first baby <\/span><\/p>\n steps or their first words. Sharing their real life and merging it with the virtual world is something that comes naturally to them.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This mass phenomenon is turning anonymous children into icons and important influencers with thousands of followers. <\/span><\/p>\n Children’s voices are being heard more than they’ve ever been before. We’ve seen youngsters go as far as to the <\/span>UN <\/span><\/p>\n in order to demand better education, peace and respect for nature. <\/span><\/p>\n They lead noble and just struggles from positions of innocence, but with a firmly held belief that a better world is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5624″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”www.minicool.net\/books”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Patterns in fashion will change: \u00a0<\/span>adult clothing in miniature and \u00a0<\/span>child influencers for the fashion houses <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Surprisingly, they won’t give up playing with traditional toys, which will adapt to new family and racial typologies. <\/span><\/p>\n The education of young children will undergo an important change: learning will be based on play and <\/span><\/p>\n firsthand experiences. A less constrained education, one that is closer to nature, will become highly valued. <\/span><\/p>\n This will include open-air classrooms and woodland schools: Technology + Nature. Children’s art and manual skills will also be encouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Increased spending on kids’ fashion is forecast as labels start to treat children as influencers. <\/span><\/p>\n And already, there are special campaigns being designed to win over lifelong customers. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Welcome, Generation Alpha!!!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^5009|url^http:\/\/minicool.net\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bg_subs_blog-1.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^bg_subs_blog|description^null” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”contain” bg_image_posiiton=”top right” css=”.vc_custom_1473243388550{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 85px !important;background-color: #e8e7e3 !important;}” el_class=”blog_subs_wrapper”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1473241377213{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1473840671471{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]\n
