At BombayKids, for instance, product lines are built around concepts like Hippie Chick--fringe, flower power and peace symbols--and Betsy Girl--hot-pink silks, zebra prints and pink beading. "We create a theme, thinking, What's this person like? How do they really live?" explains director of merchandising Kristina Fideli-Ventura.
