Interview with Indie Designer, Heather Flottman of liliputians NYC!

Today, The Silly Wagon introduces the first in a series of interviews with our designers!


We don't just want you to wear the clothes, we want you to know the thoughts and inspiration that go into those special outfits!



Tell us about yourself. I'm Heather Flottmann, owner and driving force behind the boutique clothing label liliputians NYC.

What made you want to create, did you always know you wanted to do something creative? I've always had the urge and talent for being creative, albeit I've dabbled in many different media (ceramics, drawing, painting, découpage, interior design) before settling down with a sketch pad, sewing machine and fabric as my paint and canvas. My daugher Lily reawakened my creative drive and was the motivation for starting liliputians.

Whats your favorite food? Spicy Vegetable Pad Thai from Planet Thailand in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY - Yummy!

What inspires you? My 3-year old daughter Lily. She keeps things fun, helps me see things in a new fresh light, and is my muse and inspiration.

What your favorite word to say? liliputians!

If you could teach a child one thing, what would it be? I would teach them to always believe in oneself and to reach for the stars.

Do you consider yourself to be a Silly Wagon? (if you haven't yet figured out what that is, read our
ABOUT page) Absolutely! I've always been one to march to my own beat. I like color, quirky-ness, and funkiness in my life. I think I would definitely be considered a Silly Wagon.

Thank you so much, Heather After seeing your Viva Las Vegas outfit as well as the Frida Kahlo Jeans set, we would have to agree...You are a Silly Wagon! See liliputians cutest designers here on The Silly Wagon on June 1st!! Does your little one have a BIG birthday coming up? Celebrate in style, have them wear a liliputians NYC original birthday outfit!!
