Gender Inclusive Fashion and Self-expression with Elizabeth Brunner

Dr. Dan interviews Elizabeth Brunner, the Founder and CEO of StereoType, a disruptive kids' fashion brand that aims to break free from traditional gendered clothing by creating what she coined as "blended fashion" — a mix of girl and boy esthetics that are equal in value and defined by no one.  On this episode, Dr. Dan and Elizabeth discuss why parents need to give their kids space to be themselves, gender-free fashion, conscious parenting and more. Elizabeth was inspired to start StereoType after often watching her young twins joyfully break the rules of traditional dressing by wearing pieces from each others' closets to create their own unique blended fashion style that authentically represented who they are and how they wanted to dress. StereoType offers a wide range of gender-free clothing and accessories for children ages 4-14, enabling them to express themselves through their wardrobe choices without being limited by societal expectations, limits, and stereotypes. StereoType is the second disruptive fashion company Elizabeth has started. After studying fashion design at California College of the Arts, she found herself at odds with wasteful fashion industry standards. This led her to launch her first fashion business Piece x Piece, a pioneering line of one-of-a-kind, high-end garments that reused discarded sample swatches and leftover fabric from larger fashion houses that would typically be sent to landfill.   For more information visit www.stereotypekids.com.
