Imagine This…where kids can take their expression of themselves through clothing to another level, by designing it themselves. Liz Geier of the company, Imagine This, takes her work seriously, consulting with her young ‘designer’ and finds innovative ways in interpreting their drawings. Everything is made by hand, from printing/ embroidering the patterns on the fabric, producing custom buttons, beading and even creating accessories - hats to handbags - to match. Everything is unique much like the imaginations of the kids that design them.
Geier states, “This is a great opportunity for me to bring a unique approach to creating children’s fashion. I think children are filled with creativity and are forever drawing and designing things. Their imagination is boundless and we can see a sense of it in the drawings they produce and the stories they tell. IMAGINE THIS takes it a step further and transforms kids’ drawings of their ‘dream’ outfit into a real wearable one-of-a-kind outfit – right down to their own ‘designer’ label.”
Geier wants every child to feel special and have each outfit true to his or her vision. IMAGINE THIS makes young designers out of every child of any age who has an imagination and a desire to see their ideas become reality.
The cost of each project vary depending on the extent of the design and fabric used. Prices usually start at around $350 and up. Geier will not compromise the quality and craftsmanship of the clothing to cut costs.
