ByKidsOnly.com is a very fun, interactive site where children aged 5-13 can draw and post their ideal shirts, dresses, pants, – even pajamas – and vote on their favorites! Winning designs are interpreted by real fashion designers into actual clothing that are then produced (in the U.S.) with eco-friendly materials. How cool is that?
The clothing is then sold online and at select retailers. Imagine the joy and empowerment a child can experience by having their designs be professionally created, sold, and worn by others! I know my kids would be ecstatic!
“Children love the idea of wearing something they helped create,” says Aviva Weiss, a pediactric occupational therapist and founder of Fun and Function LLC, parent of ByKidsOnly.com. “By letting them express verbally and visually what matters to them most, we can learn from them and hopefully produce apparel that they’re excited to wear.”
How does it work? Children are invited to design, submit, and vote on concepts for clothing. This process runs in 6 week cycles. You can check ByKidsOnly.com’s Fashion Calendar on-line to see the current schedule.
