Kaia Aragon is on her way to becoming the world’s next fashionista. This 9-year-old fashion design went viral on TIKTOK back in November 2021. Trendy cloth, designed and sewed by herself, got the attention of famous fashion icons around the world.
Vera Wang, the famous fashion director, and editor, admired those designs and welcomed her to the industry by sending her a brand-new sewing machine and a purple knapsack. She specially attached a handwritten note to it.
“So excited to see you are already pursuing your dream of becoming a fashion designer.”
– Vera Wang
Where did all these things start from
Tonya, Kaia’s mother, started teaching her to sew when she was five years old. She got her first sewing machine at the age of 8 years old, in 2020.

In the interview with TODAY, Tonya expresses her feelings about her little fashionista’s talent, “I have no idea how her mind works in this way since I only taught her the basics of it, I was blown away.” Her passion for style is impressive, Tonya noted this ever since she was very little. “Kaia is able to mix and match things thing that did not make sense until she puts on.”

How does she put these things together?
Kaia gets her inspiration from day-to-day life. Once, she designed an outfit infamous Disney movie “Encanto” and designed inspired by “figure skating.”
Her design pattern is totally different from the general. Instead of sketching and designing, Kaia picks the fabric, whatever she likes, and goes with it.

What Kaia says all about her new beginning
This is just the beginning; I now do all these things as a hobby.
“I dream of becoming a fashion designer when I grow up. I hope that my friend Ariana and my siblings will work out at my future company.”
Apart from fashion designing, she has an interest in aerial arts. She already takes classes to improve her aerial skills and hoops.

Further, she spoke about Wang’s incident,
“Wang had commented as “love <3” in one of my TikTok; I did not know how big she was until I looked up her on the internet. I was freaking out after I got realized how big a deal it is. Also, I was so surprised by her gift and get to know how much she admired me.”
Doing what you love will make you really happy and drive you towards success. This little designer will surely glow in the future fashion sky like a big star. We, popsicles, wish her to come across all the success in her journey and all her dreams to come true.
