The first ever Global Kids' Fashion week will take place next March.

Kids Company founder Camilla Batmanghelidjh and Alex Theophanous, founder of global style destination for kids, AlexandAlexa.com, have teamed up for the event, which will cast a spotlight on premium kids' fashion, from both established designers as well as emerging names.

The three-day event, a finale to the fashion week season, features runway shows and performances, informative exhibitions, industry talks, and playful activities.

Alex said: ''Kids' fashion is playful, fun and innovative - we all believe it deserves its own dedicated platform. Which is why we are so proud to be supporting the very first Global Kids' Fashion Week. With this event, we aim to put children's fashion on the map worldwide.''

The event will also include a mix of fun activities for children and parents, with workshops from the V&A Museum of Childhood, a performance from the London Children's Ballet and an interactive bloggers lounge.

A public fashion show will take place during the Global Kids' Fashion Week with all proceeds going to Kids Company.
