Very Cozy Outfits

Posted September 15, 2010

“I like kids,” says Maira Kalman, the artist known for her humorous (and often poignant) illustrations for the New Yorker and the New York Times. “They are funny and they eat things and they run around, and then they sleep in very cozy outfits. I am jealous of them.” And now she’s added one more reason to be jealous: a collection of baby clothes for Target, replete with jump-roping dogs. The line is available through October, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to Baby Buggy, a nonprofit dedicated to helping New York City families in need.
