With parents like Beyoncé and JAY-Z, it’s no surprise that Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir Carter are already style stars in the making. Tina Knowles-Lawson recently spoke with Oprah Daily about Ivy Park’s latest collection, Ivytopia, and shared how her grandchildren contribute to the brand.
“They are little fashionistas and have a clear determination of what they like and what they don’t like.”
“They are little fashionistas and they have a certain determination about what they like and what they don’t like,” the businesswoman and designer said in the July 21 interview. “When Beyoncé does the first samples, they get them, and some things they like, and some things you can tell they don’t like. Kids like things that are comfortable. They don’t want anything that to scratch either too tight or high around. the neck.”
Considering that 10-year-old Blue and 5-year-olds Rumi and Sir have starred in numerous Ivy Park campaigns alongside their mother, it only makes sense that they would contribute to each collection. Although Blue’s cool style has made headlines in the past, as she lounged on the patio in a chic black outfit or performed with Beyoncé at the Oscars, Rumi seems to be just as excited about fashion. “She has an amazing sense of style,” Knowles-Lawson said, adding that Rumi reminds her “so much” of a young Solange Knowles.
During a recent trip to Disneyland, Knowles-Lawson recalled Rumi choosing Mickey Mouse shorts and a matching glitter-print top for her outfit. “It actually looked really nice. But her sister came in and Blue said, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much.’ And Rumi said, ‘That’s my style.’ … I was impressed. She also said, “Mickey Mouse will be very excited. He’s going to come and take a picture with me.” She’s so funny. And you know, Mickey came out and took a picture with her.”
