About the AKD Junior Designer Program: Our intentions in creating the AKD Role Models "Junior Designer" program are to promote design and creativity in our society's youth. We want to reach out to young designers and help them to realize their goals of becoming future fashion leaders. We hope that these Junior Designers will influence more children and teens to become young leaders and encourage them to follow their designing dreams.
Blog #1: Following Julia, Age 10, Italy: Our first AKD Junior Designer is Julia, age 10, from Italy. Julia enjoys sports and learning about health and nutrition. She loves cheerleading and gymnastics and is very excited to be one of our designers! Julia will have the opportunity to have a hands on experience in the world of designing by creating her own custom costume and seeing it come to life in the AKD production office! Since she has experience with drawing pictures and sketching her own designs, we feel that this will come very naturally to her.
Over the course of a two month period ranging from the beginning of November till the end of December, we will be documenting her AKD designing adventure. We will be sending her swatches of fabric, receiving her sketches, making the garment, and finally, sending her the finished product (our favorite part!). We are so excited to be a part of this journey with Julia and we can't wait to see the costume once she finally gets to wear it!
Julia has expressed her enthusiasm about being the first designer for our Role Models program:
"I am excited about being an AKD Junior Designer because it is a great opportunity for me to learn more about becoming a designer. This experience will provide me the chance to see how fashion designers do their job and what steps it takes to make a cheerleading uniform. I think it will be amazing to see how much time and hard work it takes to be a fashion designer, and I hope my imagination and creativity will help me design a beautiful and colorful cheerleading uniform.
I look forward to seeing how the uniform I design comes out and then seeing how it is liked by others. My goal is to learn as much as I can as a Junior Designer and decide if this is the path I should take as an adult."
We are so happy for you, Julia! To learn more about our Junior Designer program, visit the Role Models website and see more about Julia as well as our other designers!
