From Gucci Kids to Boss, Tatler families spent the day exploring how creativity, style and self-expression can nurture confidence in children—culminating in a candid conversation on raising bold, self-aware young individuals
Tatler’s Little Luxury Stars 2025 entered its fourth afternoon with a spirited Sunday programme that transformed the luxury children’s precinct at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands into a lively trail of imagination and discovery. Day 4 unfolded as a seamless journey through play-driven experiences hosted by the precinct’s leading maisons, each one inviting children to express themselves through colour, movement and style.
The afternoon began at Gucci Kids, where young guests stepped into a Polaroid corner that turned their instinctive sense of style into instant keepsakes. Children posed shyly, boldly, or somewhere in between—revealing personalities that sometimes emerge most clearly in front of a camera. Those small square frames became delightful snapshots of individuality at its earliest bloom.
The energy carried through to Ralph Lauren Children, where tables filled with colouring sheets and pencils created a quiet pocket of concentration. Here, children explored a different kind of expression—one shaped not by clothing, but by the lines and colours they chose. The scene felt contemplative, reminding parents that creativity often shows up in these small, focused moments that reveal how young minds interpret the world.

Laughter took over at Baby Dior, where balloon artists shaped whimsical creations that floated through the boutique like tiny sculptures of joy. Whether a child held onto a bow, a character, or a fanciful shape they requested on the spot, each piece became a playful extension of their imagination.
The heart of Day 4 emerged later at Boss, where a special edition of Style Speak: Raising Style brought together Tatler’s fashion monster Adriel Chiun, Tatler friend Stephanie Lee, and her daughter Isabelle. Set within a cosy storytelling corner, the session explored how parents can help children develop confidence, creativity and self-awareness through everyday expressions of style.

Rather than focusing on trends or aesthetics, the conversation centred on the quiet, everyday decisions that help a child understand themselves—choosing what feels comfortable, discovering colours they are instinctively drawn to, or taking pride in assembling an outfit that reflects their growing sense of self. Lee shared reflections from her own parenting experience, illustrating how small, seemingly simple moments—letting a child decide between two tops, encouraging them to mix textures, allowing them to gravitate toward what feels “right”—can build trust in their instincts.
“Style is really a child’s first language of choice,” Chiun shared, adding a thoughtful stillness to the room. “Before they have the vocabulary to articulate who they are, they point, they reach, they react. Those early choices—whether it’s a colour, a silhouette, or simply what makes them smile—are the beginnings of identity. Our job isn’t to correct that, but to honour it.”
Lee nodded, reflecting on her own day-to-day moments with Isabelle. “I’ve learnt that confidence doesn’t come from telling your child what to wear,” she said, “but from allowing them the space to experiment. Sometimes the outfit makes no sense to me—but it makes perfect sense to her. And that’s where her confidence grows.”
Beside her, young Isabelle added her own voice with charming earnestness. “I like choosing clothes that feel like me,” she said. “Sometimes I want soft things, sometimes I want bright things. Mummy lets me try everything.” Her simple honesty underscored the theme of the afternoon: that children often understand themselves more intuitively than adults expect.
Throughout the session, Chiun guided the dialogue with his trademark warmth, shedding light on how fashion can be a formative emotional language for children. The emphasis was not on curation but connection—on seeing style as a pathway for children to recognise their individuality and express it freely, without fear of being too much or too little.

As families drifted out into the early evening, Day 4 left them with a quiet reminder: nurturing a child’s style is really about nurturing their voice. And at Little Luxury Stars, that voice is always celebrated—playfully, thoughtfully and with limitless imagination.
