ONE SIZE FITS ALL Brit inventor creates clothes that GROW with your kids… and they’ll fit any child from 36 months to six years
TIRED of forking out on clothes for your kids only to find they’ve outgrown them a week later?
A British inventor hopes to put an end to this parental woe after devising a material that allows garments to GROW at the same time as the child wearing them – up to an impressive six sizes.
Ryan Yasin, from West London, became frustrated after buying age-appropriate items for his nephew, and then discovering the tot has already becoming too big for them.
The 24-year-old maverick, who studied Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London and then joined the Royal College of Art’s Global Innovation Design course, decided to experiment with a special fabric that can become wider and longer when stretched.
He pleated and heated the material to capture its effects, and made his clothing prototype washproof, waterproof and even ‘crumb proof’.
The outerwear garment, which is set to be released soon, promises to fit any child from the age of 36 months to six.
“Usually when parents buy ahead for their children [to save money], the clothes are big and floaty and massive garments, but this is comfortable and dynamic,” he said.
“I tried [the prototype] on my nephew and niece and they both loved the clothing, so my sister said I was on to something and I decided to pursue it properly.”
