While other little girls were watching cartoons, or playing with Barbie dolls, Cecilia Cassini was reading fashion magazines and learning how to sew. Now, at 10 years of age, she’s already an established fashion designer for kids.
(An image of Cecilia with one of her designs.)
Cecilia Cassini, from Encino, California, began her career as fashion designer, when she was just 5 years old. She cut up her sister’s Betsy Johnson dress, when no one was looking, and adjusted it to her own design. For her 6th birthday, she received a sewing machine and began taking sewing lessons. At 7 years old, she wrote a letter to her favorite fashion designer, Coco Channel, for school, and designed her own logo, at 8.

It’s safe to say Cecilia was very creative, from an early age, but she got her big break last year, when her mother mentioned to a store owner that her daughter made dresses. During a trunk show, the fifth-grader sold 50 pieces. Things started happening, from there, and now Miss Cassini has her own manager, no other than Pilar DeMann, the woman behind the Kardashians’ rise to power.
Cecilia Cassini and her fashion creations are becoming more and more popular, with each passing day, and she’s even opened up a cool-looking website, where people can check out and order her works. Another super-kid that’s going places, fast.

Here are some of her designs:
A dress from "The Paris Creations" collection
A dress from "The Milan Creations" collection
A top from "The New York Creations" collection
One of her "Design Tee's"
Dress from "The High Fashion" collection
Dress from "The Couture Creations" collection
--So I think this is charming and pretty impressive considering the designer is a 10 year old girl!! Other than that she already has 2 stores in California, a blog and 6 collections! She goes as far as offering "Custom Fittings" for her clients and a young couturier herself describing her works as “each dress is unique and one-of-a-kind just like the Mona Lisa and Chanel’s chains.” (Cecilia) She designs clothes for young girls her age and honestly if I was 10 years old I would want absolutely everything from her line... its so cute, so colorful, fun and youthful... I think it is wonderful and fully support it and who knows, some day we might be wearing her designs. Many celebrities and designers are already showing their support and endorsement including Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Diane Von Furstenburg and Jenna Bush! She has been mentioned/ featured in magazines and newspapers such as Vogue, People, Runway, Grazia, Los Angeles Times and many more.
Do you guys think her label will last or is this just a little fad?
Do you think she has any promising talent?
and finally Do you think it is suitable for such a young child to be in the workforce and essentially having a job at this age?
(I just had to post this right away when I heard about it on Chic Channel)
Gena
I read about her on some magazine and i was surprise about her age and her works; i can't even make myself a handkerchief :O
ReplyDeletesome of the article mentioned that some celebrities want to wear her cloths i'm not so sure about the name but there's Paris Hilton on it...(not so surprise right? LOL) it's a fad for me. like now ppl gets exciting about the little girl who made her own cloth ; the press pay attention to her talent and yes she's talented i admit. She has to deal with all the success and improve herself; who knows if she only capable of designing 10 years old kid dress? That's not gonna work in the next five years. We will see soon :)
