Known for commanding color and impeccable tailoring, Hudson has dressed some of the world’s most recognizable women. Now, for his first children’s collection, the designer brings his expertise to OshKosh, reinterpreting the brand’s heritage through a fresh fashion lens while keeping movement and play at the center. Designed to be mixed and matched, the collection features statement pieces that encourage kids to explore their creativity and self-expression through style.
“I was inspired by the children in my life and the way they’re already developing their own sense of style and individuality,” said Sergio Hudson. “I wanted to create pieces that give kids the freedom to express themselves and feel confident in what they wear. Fashion is such a powerful form of self-expression, and I love the idea of giving children that same sense of ownership over their personal style.”
The collaboration was developed in partnership with Harlem’s Fashion Row, the influential platform creating opportunities and connections between world-class brands and designers of color. The partnership builds on HFR’s work to bring distinct creative voices to new audiences and create meaningful opportunities for designers of color to expand their reach.
“Sergio Hudson is truly one of the most extraordinary designers in American fashion today. I’ve been a longtime admirer of his work, and as someone who personally wears his designs, I know just how special they are,” said Brandice Daniel, Founder and CEO of Harlem’s Fashion Row. “At HFR, we believe that exceptional design has no boundaries. This collaboration with OshKosh is such a beautiful example of what happens when creativity meets opportunity. I love that Sergio’s incredible vision will now reach an entirely new generation, and that families everywhere will get to experience a little of his magic.” Bringing his modern signature look to OshKosh staples, Hudson puts a fresh spin on iconic elements like the Vestbak ® and hickory stripe along with signature silhouettes including coveralls and denim styles. Hudson’s touches balance style with the durability and quality families have long relied on from OshKosh.
“For generations, OshKosh has embraced play as a form of freedom, encouraging exploration and taking on the world with confidence,” said Sarah Crockett, Chief Marketing Officer of Carter’s, Inc. “Sergio brings a fresh perspective to that legacy. Together, we’ve created a collection that celebrates individuality, encourages self-expression and gives kids the confidence to tackle the world in style.”

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 14, 2026--
SolarWinds, a leading provider of AI-powered observability, incident response, database management and ITSM software, today announced the launch of Avior™, a standalone, goal-oriented agentic AI system purpose-built for mission-critical IT environments. Built on the SolarWinds ® Platform, Avior will help IT teams securely define goals, coordinate specialized agents, and track progress toward measurable outcomes across hybrid digital ecosystems.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261014762731/en/
As technology infrastructure grows more complex and business-critical, variable outcomes can introduce unacceptable risk and costs that most IT organizations already quietly absorb in outage minutes, audit exposure, and senior engineering time. AI needs to deliver cost savings, downtime reduction, and overall operational resilience that a team can measure in environments where uptime, security, and overall IT operations are at stake.
Avior is designed to take on first-line work, so teams can not only be more strategic, but also proactively address the needs of their growing digital estates. As a standalone application, it works across products and environments, diagnosing issues or actions from the perspective of an operator, and pursuing goals that span the estate with advanced root cause analysis.
Enterprise AI Built for Trust and Control
Operating within strict security guardrails, Avior features risk-tiered autonomy so that potentially dangerous actions always require explicit human approval. Anchored in AI by Design, the responsible-AI framework SolarWinds applies across its portfolio, Avior safeguards customer environments while keeping humans in the loop through granular audit trails, goal tracking, automated rollback support, data masking, and strict least-privilege tool access.
Avior is also built on three core pillars to help ensure the system delivers powerful outcomes within strict guardrails required in mission-critical environments:
What Avior Can Do for the Enterprise
Avior pairs AI intelligence with a deterministic execution framework that pursues predefined goals within clear guardrails, approval controls, and auditable workflows. This gives IT teams a more controlled and repeatable path from insight to action, helping them move beyond reactive firefighting. Using Avior today, teams can confidently orchestrate a range of operational outcomes, with more on the way:
“IT operations have long been measured by how quickly teams can respond,” said Cullen Childress, Interim CEO and Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds. “But as environments become more complex, distributed, and noisy, reaction time alone is no longer enough. Organizations need to move proactively, reduce operational risk, and build resilience into the way IT work gets done. Avior was designed to meet this moment, helping teams shift from managing alerts to orchestrating outcomes with clear goals, guardrails, and control.”
"As an observability engineer in the healthcare industry, it's my role to ensure that our engineers have the tools and capabilities to ensure that the environment and infrastructure are always performing well so our radiologists can do the jobs they need to do,” said Steven Khan, Observability Engineer, Radiology Partners. “Avior is almost like having an additional teammate who doesn't just show you what happened, but actually sources artifacts and insights as part of a deep dive that you can share and show teammates to explain how the issue happened. Avior's goal-oriented abilities help manage alerts and greatly reduces the amount of time it takes to triage issues, keeping a clean environment."
Avior is available beginning October 14, 2026, through a guided onboarding program. Visit https://www.solarwinds.com/avior to learn more, including information about how SolarWinds is advancing goal-driven AI for modern IT operations.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Avior help protect enterprise data?
Your data stays your data. Only the data relevant to a request is sent, and only data the user is already permitted to see. The data stays encrypted and, for self-hosted environments, it moves securely through the Platform Connect directly to the SolarWinds Platform rather than out to a model directly. In addition, customer data is masked and not used to train underlying models.
How was Avior designed with trust in mind?
Avior runs on twenty-five years of SolarWinds telemetry, topology, configuration history, and alerting context — across networks, systems, applications and databases and cloud — plus third-party systems through model context protocol (MCP). Avior works in a goal-oriented control loop, is transparent so you can see every step in its thinking, and it is controlled through fine-grained autonomy controls and safe defaults. Additionally, Avior enforces built-in risk controls, and agents are designed to not act past their engineered limits.
How is Avior different from the in-product AI assistants we already have?
SolarWinds AI assistants are focused on delivering useful assistance within SolarWinds products, bounded by human attention and prompting. Avior is agentic AI designed to work independently within your controls across your digital estate, self-hosted and cloud alike, using combined data from each SolarWinds or third-party product integration you have turned on. Every action is risk-gated, inherits the initiating user’s permissions, and is recorded.
Do organizations need to migrate data or systems to use Avior?
No, teams do not need to undertake any migration project. Avior works with self-hosted and SaaS environments. This allows agents to seamlessly operate across hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
