Italian luxury house Gucci is the latest designer label to debut a children’s collection, joining the likes of Burberry, D&G and Dior.

Gucci will celebrate the launch of the new collection on November 20th, which is Universal Children’s Day, with children’s parties at six of its most important flagship stores in Milan, London, NYC, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Gucci Kids, which will kick off with the Spring/Summer 2011 collection, will include clothing lines for babies (0 to 24 months) and boys and girls (ages 2 to 8).

Jennifer Lopez, along with darling twins Max and Emme, are the faces of Gucci’s new children’s collection, available in stores this November.

The images were taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Malibu, California, three months ago according to WWD.

Talking about the ad, Lopez said, “It’s the first time I have worked with my kids in this way. It was totally a special experience.”

The children’s collection, including clothing, accessories and shoes, is available for tots ranging in age from infant to 8 years.

Gucci and Fendi are launching their first full children’s collections, entering a sector that has weathered the global downturn better than others.

Gucci presented its Gucci Kids line at its historical Firenze boutique during the Pitti Bimbo international childrenswear fair last week.

The line, aimed at children from newborn to age eight includes shoes, dresses, accessories and sunglasses created by Gucci star designer Frida Giannini.
