I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'imaginative items' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hates recitals arranged to include popular' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'to include' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'hates'+'recitals'='hatesrecitals'
'hatesrecitals' anagrammed gives 'castlestheair'.
'castlestheair' placed around 'in' is 'CASTLES IN THE AIR'.
