Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's three-week-old daughter has already made
her first fashion statement after appearing on the cover of America's
People magazine in a trendy T-shirt.
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt wore a vintage-washed grey cotton T-shirt with
the words "The Pots & Pans Band" on her first magazine
cover, causing the $42 (#23) shirt to immediately fly off store shelves.
After the magazine hit newsstands last week (ends09JUN06), baby
boutiques and high-end retailers including Barney's New York, Fred Segal
and Bloomingdale's were inundated with telephone calls and Internet
orders.
The shirt's designer, Kingsley Aarons, claims he was stunned by the
response saying, "It just hit me how big a deal this is."
Aarons was inspired by his own two-year-old son Zephr, when the amateur
drummer began banging away on pots and pans in the family's kitchen.
The designer says other celebrity parents who dress their kids in his
shirts include Johnny
Depp, Gwen
Stefani, and Heidi
Klum.
He adds, "Brad and Angelina are definitely our customers. The new
generation of young, hip parents are looking for outfits they would wear
themselves."
Aarons is currently working with the celebrity couple's representatives
to send baby T-shirts to Africa to help needy newborns.
