1. Baby Phat appears to be a client of Mosnar, as Kimora Lee Simmons appears in other Mosnar marketing schemes as well. So I wouldn't take this one too seriously.

2. Movie stars are trendsetters, it's been that way since silent films and I don't see it changing anytime soon. There's nothing wrong with people being interested in what they are wearing so long as they don't charge up their credit cards and then expect more fiscally responsible people to bail them out.

As far as the babies themselves; they don't care who is wearing what. That's mommy and daddy's doing.

FWIW, I have seen more stars wearing very reasonably priced clothing and doing the same for their children. Brad Pitt and Angelina are very low key for their everyday stuff if the pictures we see of them are to be believed. As they are working in New Orleans to help storm victims rebuild their lives, they might feel that designer labels would be out of place and possibly send the wrong message. Even in jeans and tee shirts they are better looking than average. It goes to show, if you've got it...you don't have to spend a lot to look great.

3. Um, nope. I am about to buy private-school uniforms for my 10 year old. There is not one garment for less than $37.50. I don't usually pay that much for one shirt/blouse, skort or pair of shorts for myself.

4. I hear you on the pain of uniforms! My son just entered kindergarten, and the uniform was outrageous. Around $35 for a blouse, $60(!!!!!!) for pants, $150 for the formal jacket, $40 for the hat, not to mention the uniform shoes, bag, etc! And of course, you can`t just hope to get by on one set with such a small and messy child - at least not for anything other than the jacket and accessories.

And this week they just sent us a letter home to order the summer uniform...

5. I`m going to agree with what Jan says. It doesn`t really matter what people are spending their money on, as long as that is actually their money to spend. If you can`t afford it, don`t buy it.

It`s become a sort of bragging point to have spent less on your children`s clothing than some other parent... "I never spent more than $5 on an outfit!" "I got by on all second hand things!" "Well, we dressed my baby in second hand clothes that *I* wore as a baby!!"

My very first comment here was about spending money on baby clothes. For some strange reason I remember. I`d bought a $300 coat for my son. Not because it was a brand name, not because it was fashionable, not because some famous child wore one - but because I liked it and it was made to last. At that time, I recall writing that I thought it would last my son until he was 4. Well, he`s going to turn 4 in a couple of months, and it still fits him. It`s gone from long coat to thigh length coat. It will probably hit short coat stage when he is 6 or 7.

I don`t think parents should be at the whim of fashion, buying whatever trendy piece of clothing someone in the media chooses to advertise... But I also see absolutely nothing wrong with spending a fair amount of money to dress your child in a way you are pleased with. My son has shirts ranging from on sale for $1 to $40 or $50. All bought because I liked them, not for brand name or trendiness.

7. Can't really afford expensive clothes, but I swear when I drop my toddler off at daycare she is as put together as Suri Cruise, but comes out looking just like Ryder Robinson.

8. Kimora is stylish and she is simply raising her beautiful daughters the same way. Nothing wrong with that. And any business owner who happens to have a reality show should promote their goods on the air. They would be foolish not to.

9. It is the clearance rack for me and my kids. I almost NEVER pay full price for clothes. What is the point in spending all that money on something that isnt going to fit in a year or 2. Like someone else said, kids don't care what they wear (mine would rather go without most the time anyways).
I actually bought myself a $180 coat on sale for $50 this winter and felt REALLY bad about spending that much on myself. (A friend helped/talked me into buying it.) But I REALLY needed a coat, so maybe next year I won't feel so bad about buying it.
