Nadia Georgiou, Brooklyn Junior

The hassle of buying clothes for a newborn baby is well known to any mother. There’s often little selection and the clothes are overpriced, especially considering that the child will outgrow it in a matter of days. In 2008, then a new mom herself, Nadia Georgiou sought to remedy this with her own kids clothing label, Brooklyn Junior. Starting out with bold, 100% cotton t-shirts and onesies at the original Brooklyn Flea, Georgiou’s business grew rapidly. Five years later, Georgiou now sells a full line of kids’ clothing and toys in shops, the Grand Central Holiday Market, and her old stomping ground – the Brooklyn Flea.

Nadia attributes Brooklyn Junior’s success to her own maternal sensibilities. “Because kids can be sensitive and have allergies, everything I make is soft and has as few chemicals as possible,” she says. “Also, my patterns are a little bigger than normal, so they’re more comfortable and give some room for the children to grow.”
