Junior Style Awards 2025 – Junior Style

The Junior Style Awards is an annual, nonprofit initiative founded by Junior Style Editor-in-Chief, Aleksandra Ataca. Created to spotlight the outstanding achievements within the children’s fashion industry, the Awards recognize the individuals and brands whose creativity, vision, and dedication set new standards year after year.
A Distinctive Celebration of Excellence in Children’s Fashion
The Junior Style Awards proudly returns for its second year, reaffirming its place as a prestigious annual, nonprofit initiative dedicated to celebrating outstanding achievements across the children’s fashion industry.
Founded as a nonprofit initiative by Aleksandra Ataca, Editor-in-Chief of Junior Style, the Awards were created to elevate the voices, talent, and innovation within the global kids’ fashion community. This unique platform recognizes the artistry, dedication, and creative vision that shape the industry today.
From visionary designers and beloved brands to talented models, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, influencers, and content creators, the Junior Style Awards spotlight the individuals and teams whose contributions move the world of children’s fashion forward.
What Sets the Junior Style Awards Apart
At Junior Style, we believe in celebrating the creators, visionaries, and dreamers shaping the world of children’s fashion — and the Junior Style Awards is our way of honoring that vibrant spirit. The Awards continue to serve as a platform grounded in the values that matter most: inclusivity, authenticity, and community. So what makes it truly unique?
Open and Inclusive by Design
True to its founding mission, the Junior Style Awards remains free to enter and open to all — from rising stars to established names — as long as their work contributes meaningfully to the children’s fashion landscape. No paywalls, no gatekeeping — just pure talent and creativity.
An Empowering Nomination Process
Participants are encouraged to nominate themselves or others whose work deserves the spotlight. This is your moment to be seen and to bring our attention to the work you believe in. Each category has been carefully curated to honor excellence across every facet of our industry. The process offers everyone an equal opportunity to be celebrated — based on talent and creativity, not participation fees — because inspiration comes in many forms.
Expertly Judged
Winners are selected by a distinguished panel of industry insiders, each bringing years of experience and a sharp editorial eye. This esteemed jury ensures that each accolade reflects true merit — not just popularity.
Powered by the Community
Through our open voting system, we invite the wider Junior Style community to have their say. It’s a moment for fans, families, and followers to rally behind their favorites, turning the Awards into a collective celebration of admiration and connection.
Being shortlisted is also a powerful opportunity to boost your brand’s visibility and connect with a global audience that appreciates creativity, authenticity, and style.
A New Generation of Voices
This year, we are proud to introduce our Kids’ Ambassador Panel — a thoughtful group of young fashion enthusiasts whose unique perspectives will help shape the final results. After all, in an industry inspired by children, their voices belong at the heart of the conversation.
As it enters its second year, the Junior Style Awards continues to grow into more than just a competition — it’s a global celebration of talent, inclusion, and the future. A space where creativity is honored, diversity is embraced, and every voice — young and seasoned — has a place to shine.
Being shortlisted or winning a Junior Style Award is more than a moment of recognition — it’s a mark of excellence in the children’s fashion industry and a launchpad for lasting visibility.
