Since Cecilia received her first sewing machine from her grandmother for her sixth birthday, she has not stopped sewing and creating her designs. Today, at ten years old Cecilia, is “the youngest fashion designer in the America.
Over the past four years, Cecilia has taken a few sewing lessons here and there; but, mostly, she has learned by breaking a lot of needles on her machine and ripping out a lot of crooked stitches.
“What you see with Cecilia Cassini is Brilliant Kiddie Couture. When you look at what she makes, it’s obvious she’s designing the clothes that every little girl dreams of wearing.” At her first Trunk Show, Cecilia sold almost 50 pieces in three hours to impressed and eager young girls. “In the coming days and years, more and more kids will be wearing Cecilia Cassini designs.”
Besides being “crazy talented,” she exudes “highbrow fashion and couture mentality.” She loves to experiment with lots of different colors and patterns to create “one-of-a-kind masterpieces.” MonaL.”
The sixth grader, who started her line in 2009, has already sold over 500 of her one-off pieces, and has even created bespoke adult versions for Heidi Klum and Kelly Osbourne.
In an interview with Maximo TV last month, she insisted that she wasn't too young to have started.
er.She said: 'I've always wanted to be a fashion designer, and I think we shouldn't wait till we're older. I think that we should just do it now so I'm following my dreams and I hope that other little girls follow theirs.'
She also admitted that she would love to design for Lady Gaga.
'I dream of dressing Lady Gaga,' she said. 'I would make her something out of plastic, sequins, feathers and faux fur. And it's all going to be matched together with a huge bow and I'm going to make her a huge puff.'
