While some creatives discover their passion later in life, others find their calling at a young age. An elementary school student in Colorado named Kaia Aragon has made an impression on the Internet with her closet of handmade designs. She was even given a sewing machine by Vera Wang! This talented 9-year-old has been making her own clothes since November 2021 and dreams of one day being a professional designer.

Aragon shares her growing collection of clothes on her Instagram, where she poses in each one. These custom creations range from glamorous dresses made from shimmering fabrics to casual tops to ensembles she can wear while working out. “My inspiration comes from a different place for each design,” Aragon tells My Modern Met. “The only thing that stays the same is that I only use super soft and comfortable fabrics.”

As it turns out, comfort is a big motivator for Aragon, who was driven to make her own clothes after becoming disillusioned with the pre-existing selection for girls her age. “I love making clothes because the fancy dresses in the little girls’ sections are so stiff and uncomfortable,” she explains. “With my clothes I can be super fashionable but also comfortable at the same time. So I can go to a tea party and then go ride my scooter in the park and I don’t have to change first.”

Although Aragon has made numerous outfits, her current favorite is a pale pink dress with an opalescent sheen and delicate hem design. “My favorite outfit [have] made is a white satin dress that I made with fabric that I painted by hand,” explains Aragon.
