Gender, Clothing and individuality with Elizabeth Brunner

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between

Elizabeth joined us from San Francisco – she is founder of Stereotype Kids which was set up because her Boy / Girl twins didn’t want to be restricted to wearing their own clothes and wanted to wear each others.

We chatted about:

• Why Elizabeth feels it’s important to challenge traditional views on boys and girls clothing and to allow the children to dress for joy rather than what they ‘should’ be wearing’.
• Friends and family reactions to the children wearing clothes that they didn’t think they should be.
• ‘Dressing is expressing’ - how this is where Elizabeth wants her children to be and feel comfortable in what they wear with no limits.
• Dressing children (not just twins etc) in the same clothes and how Elizabeth feels about that.
• Individuality and the importance of allowing children to express their personality / style etc.
• Stereotype – which is a gender inclusive clothing line. “You were born to stand out” is their tagline.
• Matching outfits as a family.
• Responding and reflecting if your child wants to wear something you don’t want them to and allowing them to do this freely.
• What if other children or adults (or you) have an adverse reaction to what your children are wearing.
• School uniforms and the responsibility schools have to ensure gender equality in what the children can wear.
• Slogans on tops and colours for children of both genders.
