A nine-year-old fashion designer has received attention for her designs on TikTok. Vera Wang sent Kaia Aragon a sewing machine and a note. Kaia wants to have a big fashion business with her best friend. When a child fantasizes about what they want to be when they grow up, it is normal, but a 9-year-old Colorado fashion designer is already turning her dream career into reality. Kaia Aragon made her first dress in November and now has a closet full of original designs, a sewing machine gifted by Vera Wang, and over 600,000 followers on her mom's TikTok account. Videos of Kaia making dresses which typically receive thousands to millions of views are posted by Tonya. One video of a pink-and-black dress she designed earned Kaia over 14 million views. Kaia told Insider she was drawn to unique outfits even before she designed them for herself. Kaia was taught how to use a sewing machine by Tonya, but she admitted that her own skills were limited to making simpler quilts and blankets. Kaia made her first dress, a black T-shirt dress with an orange fox print that had over 1.2 million views on TikTok on Thursday. "Her skills and her ideas are quickly exceeding what I am able to do, and she now watches YouTube to learn skills and techniques that will help Kaia develop her craft." Kaia said her designs come from the heart rather than imitating garments she sees in magazines or on-screen. Kaia said she will start with a concept in mind, such as the triangle-themed challenge a cousin set her, or the multicolored, sleeveless Encanto-inspired dress she made. All the fabrics I pick are soft and stretchy. I won't get a fabric that I think is pretty but not comfortable. The young designer said it was based on the feel and looks. Kaia caught the eye of Vera Wang in February, and it's not the only audience that has been blown away by her talents. Kaia was sent a package containing a sewing machine, a backpack, and a handwritten note by a renowned designer. A video posted on February 22 shows Wang writing a letter to Kaia, who is already pursuing her dream of becoming a fashion designer. Good luck to you. Love Vera. The note is now on Kaia's bedroom wall and her mother said that she has been obsessed with Vera Wang. Kaia has a razor-sharp focus on her future ambitions. She said she would choose actress Zendaya if she could design a look for her. When I grow up, I want to have a fashion business in Paris with my best friend and attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Her admiration for FIDM is not going away. In March, the Los Angeles college sent Kaia some goodies, including a teddy bear, and a video challenge from a contestant on Project Runway. Kaia made a dress with a pink and light pink skirt for the challenge. Kaia has humble ambitions despite rubbing shoulders with the best minds and institutions in American fashion. She said the months ahead will see the young designer making garments for her friends and siblings, and creating a look for the local Renaissance fair. The original article can be found on Insider.
