When I was younger, I never realized or appreciated the freedom that I had. I only wanted to be older so that I could make my own choices. I had no idea that in some instances, I would have greater restrictions placed upon me. I know not every child is given free reign with their wardrobe but that may have been the one place that my mother actually allowed me autonomy. Looking at home videos with her, she sometimes remarks on how “wild”, I looked. I want to tell her – yes, exactly. Wild and free! When you’re a child, what you wear doesn’t have all the implications that it does when you’re “grown up”. When you’re only 8, heart sunglasses don’t make people roll their eyes and call you a hipster. If in the middle of the day you’re seen parading around in a tutu and sweatshirt, you’re not suspected of doing a walk of shame – you’re simply being individualistic…creative…a kid!

Stella McCartney’s second collaboration with Gap Kids is a welcome reminder that Childhood Is Calling.
