DESIGNER, campaigner, vegetarian, mother; Stella McCartney happily multitasks, switching between her various roles, but her latest project - a collaboration with GapKids - has allowed her to combine two of her favourite guises.

"I think this collection has a mix of the playful and practical," McCartney told VOGUE.COM of her first childrenswear collection. "It's a reflection of my brand, there are pieces that are classic and very sort of timeless and hopefully very chic, and then there are pieces that are the kind you chuck in the washing machine and they get better with time and, you know, they are funny and hopefully a little bit cool."

McCartney's three children - Miller, four, Bailey, two, and Beckett, one - are beginning to have an opinion on what they wear - and all happily offered feedback on the collection, which ranges in size from newborn to age 12. The range features McCartney's signature soft colour palette and wearable shapes alongside robot graphics for the boys and her Days of the Week underwear concept for the girls.

The collection arrives in GapKids and babyGap stores in the United States and Canada, the UK, France and Ireland, and Japan, as well as online in the US from November 3.
