The news that Julien Macdonald has designed a range of children's clothes for Barbie's manufacturers is depressing. The prices are certainly very high: from £65 up to £250 for a party dress. But it's more than that it can only serve to create yet another source of stress for parents who want to give their little darlings the s very best of everything (Except, of course, that Barbie-branded clothes are not the best of anything other than skillful marketing.) Spending on children's clothes has risen 30 per cent over the last five years, and as a nation we are spending extravagantly nearly £5 billion a year. Shocking certainly, but perhaps not surprising. Every day at the school gates, I see children 10 wearing Timberland boots, Juicy Couture Baby velveteen track suits, the latest Nike trainers and Ralph Lauren sweatshirts. All I can think is, have their parents got any common sense? That is a primary school, mind, where children grow so fast that you are lucky if anything fits for a half-term. I see how fast my children grow counting those 15 slip-on black cotton shoes I have to buy for PE lessons (a lot). So those parents who go down the high street to buy expensive branded goods for their children should know that they are extremely extravagant, unless there is a younger sister or brother to hand down to. It seems crazy. In fact, I was forced once to buy a rather expensive piece of clothing. 20 It is a tragically middle-class winter coat from John Lewis in navy blue wool that cost £60. My daughter has had to wear it with the cuffs turned over double this last winter, but at least she is warm (and will be next winter too). And isn't that what it's all about when you are little-comfort and warmth rather than making a fashion statement? There's enough of that nonsense when you're a teenager 25 and twenty something. Enough already. Back to the mother's dilemma of what to dress the children in. It's partly the trend in schools not to have a uniform that is to blame (or praise if you are an amateur junior stylist). If everyone wore Aertex shirts and grey skirts and trousers, there would be much less for parents to worry about - and if they still 30 wanted to parade their child in expensive clothes, they could do it up and down Westbourne Grove, Queen Street or Briggate at the weekend. Adapted from The Independent, 3 April 2004 3.1. 3.2. 3.3. 3.4. 3.5. 3.6. Parents should feel satisfied that some children'sdothes have been designed for Barbie's manufacturers. It is surprising to the author of the text how much money is spent on children's clothes a year. It makes no sense to buy very expensive clothes for children. The author's daughter got a relatively expensive winter coat because it was practical. The author of the text is basically for school uniforms. The author likes the idea of manufacturing design clothes for children. TRUE FALSE
