A 9-year-old fashion designer has received viral attention on her mom's TikTok for her designs. Kaia Aragon caught the eye of Vera Wang, who sent the young designer a sewing machine and a note.

"I wanted to be a fashion designer since I was like, 4 — and I've been sewing off and on since I was like, 5 years old," 9-year-old Kaia says.

When she turned 7, Tonya bought Kaia a sewing machine, and now at 9 she has hundreds of thousands of TikTok followers who can't get enough of her one-of-a-kind fashion creations.

9-year-old Kaia Aragon is on her way to becoming the world's next big fashion designer. The third-grader has gone viral on TikTok for creating trendy clothes that she's designed and sewed herself.

This is part of the KS3 Ethical Fashion Thematic Unit that encourages the Art and Design Unit to hold a pupil organised fashion show to display all the customised and recycled designs.

"I wanted to be a fashion designer since I was like, 4 — and I've been sewing off and on since I was like, 5 years old," 9-year-old Kaia says.
