This children’s clothing line designed by Royal College of Art graduate Ryan Mario Yasin has a pleat system that lets garments stretch to fit even after growth spurts.

Yasin created Petit Pli after buying clothes for his nephew which no longer fit by the time they turned up. He used his background as an aeronautical engineer to devise a set of permanent folds that let clothes ‘unpack’ when pulled, as children get bigger.

The collection features waterproof and windproof outwear, sized to fit children aged 6 to 36 months. The designer hopes that by creating kids clothes that last longer, this will help towards reducing the huge amount of waste generated by the garment industry.
