Hello everyone,
I am a 20 year old student currently studying Printed textiles and surface pattern design at Leeds Art University. I'm going in to my third year and am starting my dissertation. I am righting about gender stereotypes in children's fashion and would be very grateful if any parents would be able to spare a few minuets to share their views on the subject. This would be very helpful in aiding my research for my dissertation.
Discussing if as a parent do you feel the fashion industry has stereotyped your child by clothes they are selling? In the high-street their is very little girls clothes with typical boy motifs on them such as dinosaurs, robots, vehicles and football and vice versa. Girls can like the same things that boys do but are felt they cant because of being told that its a "boy" toy or only boys can like football.
Does the typical idea that blue is for boys and pink is for girls seem dated and unfair?
If you have a space moment I would really appreciate if you could just share a few of your thoughts and ideas by fill out a survey I made.
