Baby madness...

I really don't know what to say about this phenomenon.

Collectables, whether it be sought-after deadstock sneakers or limited-edition collaborative t-shirts, has always seemed fairly harmless to me (and, personally, I'd go as far as saying interesting, cool and addictive too!).

But this baby-focused nonsense is just weird. And gratuitous.

In fact, it's dictionary-definition 'fuckery'.

The picture directly above is Marc Jacobs' limited edition Bugaboo buggy (only 15 made, starting bid of $2500 on ebay), and at the top is part of Henrik Vibskov's capsule collection for Quinny (which are bloody expensive anyway, without the marquee-name design).

If you must, go to Fabric Mag for more images of this Vibskov mess, including a bloody poncho!
