One day, 10-year-old Oliver Scheier told his mom he wanted to wear jeans just like his friends.

But because he lives with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, regular jeans don't fit over his leg braces. He also has trouble buttoning and unbuttoning them.

So Oliver's mom, who also happens to be a fashion designer, decided to launch the non-profit Runway of Dreams and design clothing for disabled kids. The non-profit recently partnered with global fashion brand Tommy Hilfiger to create a new line.

"When kids can dress like everyone else, it makes them feel like they're on a normal playing field and like they don't have to hide," Runway of Dreams' founder Mindy Scheier tells Tech Insider.

Check out some of the looks, which are now available on Tommy Hilfiger's site.
