See Kayla's Journey

In the past few months, we showed you Kayla's initial designs sent to the AKD office via sketch, as well as her fabric selection and a mini-view of her final costume.

Once you become a Junior Designer, you are part of the AKD family! We are proud of Kayla's accomplishments this year including modeling for AKD at a Chicago pro dance convention and appearing in her first pageant. 

This blog rounds out Kayla's feature as we reveal her costume creation! Kayla's costume includes tricot fabrics in light pink and white, with accents of purple metallic fabric. This metallic fabric is the same type worn by the Los Angeles Laker Girls dancers! 

"Mom, I can't believe my eyes," said Kayla. "My very own creation!! I want to hug and thank everyone at AKD for giving me a chance to really believe I can do anything I put my all in doing and helping me to start living my dream as a fashion designer."

Congratulations Kayla! We are certain this is your first of many creations, and we are proud to help you experience the joy of bringing your vision to life.
