"Kids&amp;#x27; clothes are reaching new heights in stylishness lately--look no further than Suri Cruise&amp;#x27;s closet, Gucci&amp;#x27;s new children&amp;#x27;s line, or the baby skinny jeans phenomenon for proof--but has one Australian brand gone too far? Witchery Kids is causing a stir down under for its latest lookbook, which features five-and-six-year-olds in outfits that would make The Sartorialist jealous, posing and pouting in ways some are deeming too adult. In Australia&amp;#x27;s Herald Sun newspaper, an ambassador for the children&amp;#x27;s charity Barnados spoke out against the images, saying, &amp;quot;They look like recalcitrant teenagers, I think this is a really dangerous direction. I think it&amp;#x27;s offensive. The whole point of early childhood is to be joyous and free. Children as young as five are now going on diets, are worried about how they look, how they present - this just should not be an issue for children. It&amp;#x27;s really sad that people are trying to redefine what early childhood means.&amp;quot; Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox! Witchery Kids responded by saying that their line (designed for two- to nine-year-olds) is meant to be fun and playful, with &amp;quot;up to the minute adult trends styled for the smaller set,&amp;quot; and that &amp;quot;the majority of feedback...regarding our campaign and product range has been very positive.&amp;quot; The main concern with the campaign is that it&amp;#x27;s trying to &amp;quot;adultify&amp;quot; children and make them grow up too quickly. But there&amp;#x27;s also an argument that grown-ups are overreacting and turning some harmless outfits into an unnecessary controversy. Which side are you ladies on? Or can you kind of see both? Do you think these images are, in fact, too provocative for little kids? Or are these outfits so insanely adorable that there couldn&amp;#x27;t possibly be anything negative about them? Would you dress your kids in these uber-trendy clothes? Do you find the photos offensive? Discuss! PLUS... - The next Donna Karan?
