Designer of the Week @ Kidindependent.com
Hello folks! It’s Designer of the Week time and today I have the
pleasure of introducing you to Ter and Pat, creative design duo behind
children’s label Kidinc.
In front of the review panel this week is the “Marilyn” tee, as tested
by 2 year old Casey and her big brother Max (oh, and Mum Caroline as
well).
The Product Review
The Product Review
The Marilyn design comes printed on a
100% premium soft cotton jersey tee which washed up well and held its
shape (even after a tumble dry). However, the design on the front is
where all the action happens! Gracing this tee is iconic Hollywood
legend Marilyn Monroe, as re-imagined (with a Warhol slant) by Kidinc.
I love the cheerful pops of colour on
this tee. Combined with the signature Kidinc mouth, the finished result
is a quirky experience in modern art that appeals to both kids and
their parents.
The t-shirt that we reviewed was a size
2-3, but in fact it ended up as a “fitted tee” on
Mister-Four-and-a-Half who took a shine to it after deciding that
Kidinc’s Marilyn absolutely had to be Brobee’s Mum (Yo Gabba Gabba)!
The Verdict… Iconic, quirky and just plain fun.
The Indie Label
Kidinc
came to life in July 2011 with their debut collection of onesies and
tees. The label is a creative project of design duo Ter (who had worked
as a graphic designer for 10 years) and Pat (an advertising creative
with an interest in fashion).
They explain, “We took one look at the
children’s clothing market and were convinced it was time for a new
look. While the market is littered with conformist designs for children
to stay as bland and incognito as possible, Kidinc hopes to shock and
awe, to infuse a little attitude into the kids who are cool enough to
“Rock n’ Grow” (Kidinc’s tagline).
The Creative Mind
The Kidinc Mouth Graphic is one of the
most recognisable features of Ter and Pat’s label, and was the starting
point for their branding.
“We came up with our logo first. We
wanted to have a cute mark that universally represents babies and kids.
This led us to create this big smiling, drooling mouth as the logo. We
also wanted our brand name to be straight-forward by having the word
‘kid’ in it, so people would smile and be happy when they see our logo.
Then we said why don’t we just have Kids Inc.? So we combined the two
words into ‘Kidinc’. It’s not only pronounced as ‘kid inc’ but ‘kidding’
as well!”
The Whimsical Spirit
Here’s three fun facts about Ter and Pat (in their own words):
-
Ter loves to draw and sketch- into funny and humorous graphics.
Pat loves fashion- follows the latest trends. -
After I have done all the research on what’s out there, what’s on trend, we both throw out ideas, go through elimination, leaving the best ones for final discussion.
-
All of our designs are created based on what we like and what we love to see on kids.
The Handmade Collection
Kidinc
creates a range of clothing for little folk including onesies,
t-shirts and jeans, as well as tees for Mum and Dad. You can shop online for your favourites, or visit Kidinc on Facebook to keep up with the latest news.

Thank you Mami Diana for supporting Kidinc~
之前提過下承熹契媽有個朋友開左間online shop, 有賣大人及童裝, 入面既衫係100%自家Design, 好特別, 又有型!
黎緊10月同11月我book左兩間Studio會影全家福(終於等到妹妹識坐了!!!), 我第一時間諗起Kidinc, 揀返幾件親子裝影相!!!!!
其實市面上都有啲牌子偶然會出親子裝, 但好多時都係母女裝, 好難搵父子或母子!!!
加上始終大牌子出既衫周圍都有, 好容易撞衫, 而且design 一般般, 所以我都好少買, 但 Kidinc 既design就啱我心水, 鐘意佢較特別同埋好Stylish, 又唔怕通街撞衫, 難怪大少都讚好!!!
依家佢地on Sale, 大家有興趣可以入去睇睇!!!!!!
連著名設計師Johanna Ho 都有買到Kidinc既Little Miss gaga同佢個女一齊著啊, 可見佢地地既design真係好潮呢~
佢地啲包裝都好特別, 用黎送禮俾nb baby 或朋友仔都好適合!

"Joyful Kidinc" Interview by Kids Gazette
Funny. Stylish. Colorful. It's Kidinc. I often receive information about new products, just created fashion brands and everyone has a special, unique story. The story told, is usually more vivid than the product itself, but this time it is the other way round. Let me introduce!
1. What is Kidinc and your company philosophy?
Kidinc is a brand new kid’s wear brand that aims to challenge the norm with an arsenal of style. We believe everyone is born with the right to have style and attitude, and every baby has a voice to be heard. We hope to shock and awe, to infuse a little attitude into the kids who are cool enough to “Rock n’ Grow”.
2. Who is in the team of Kidinc?
Kidinc is the love child of Ter and Pat, a duo of design graduates from the U.S. Ter worked as a graphic designer for 10+ years, and Pat an advertising creative who then pursued her fate in fashion.
3. Where do you get inspiration from?
We get inspirations from music, arts, fashion, and movies we like.
The Kidinc Mouth graphic is actually inspired by Ter (one of the founders), whose mouth is a bit too large for his face.
4. Your favorite tee? And which was the first tee you created?
If we were to choose one, Marilyn would be our favorite tee. It’s pop-art infused with a bit of playfulness, a parody done with respect and light humor. It’s what Kidinc is all about: put a smile on people’s face (by literally putting a smile on Marilyn’s face). This is also the first tee that we’ve created.
5. How do you choose the characters?
We want to pay homage to icons of music, and pop culture, so we chose the characters based on the ones that have influenced the world the most.
6. What music can be heard in your office?
We listen to all kinds of music from Rock, Hip Hop, Pop, Jazz, Electronic, etc. depending on our mood. Right now, we’re playing The Beastie Boys album – Hot Sauce Committee part two.
7. Imagine - how does a Kidinc kid look like and what is his life?
Kidinc is the new kid in town. He lives with his parents, 1 teenage brother, and their puppy named Bacon. He loves to smile. At a young age, he has opinions on his fashion choices, he is a big fan of Michael Jackson, loves stripes, jeans and fun tshirts! He loves the outdoors, enjoys playing in the park, singing while his dad plays the guitar, playing "make believe" with his dad and is a little explorer!
8. What are your future plans?
We will be adding more cool products like hoodies, bibs, and jeans.

Kids Tees With Some Attitude in SmallForBig.com
It’s so rough to find T-shirts that aren’t silly, or covered in bows, or yet another image of trucks and trains. Well, Kid Inc’s new line of irreverent T-shirts may be just what you’re looking for. They’re updated riffs off of the classic Mr. Men and Little Miss series are hilarious. But I also love seeing their signature grin adding a little grafitti grit to Marilyn and Einstein.
