Over four busy days in February, Kids Instyle showcased inspirational products and designers from Australia and beyond at the Hordern Pavillion in Sydney. The LMNOP crew were there to ensure you didn’t miss a thing and took along two ‘pint-sized’ photo-journalists to assist them.

We kick off our official coverage of Kids Instyle today with behind-the-scenes reporting by LMNOP Kids, Claire and Charlie.

The pair was granted special access to the trade only event and were out and about photographing items of interest. The kids got to test drive plenty of toys and new products as well as check out all the latest styles for S/S 2010-2011. You’ll see what brands took their fancy below. Thanks Claire and Charlie for being such great sports and wonderful reporters!
