Spotlight on AKD Junior Designer Mackenzie - Age 14

Blog #4: Following Mackenzie, Age 14, Michigan: Mackenzie describes herself as outgoing, funny, nice and bubbly. She loves to play with makeup and come up with many different looks and products. She spends most of her time in dance and gymnastics, just learning how to flip this summer! She loves bright colors, especially pink, purple, turquoise, peachy red and aqua. (Then we are certain Mackenzie adored Julia's design unveiled earlier this month!)

We asked Mackenzie, "Why are you excited to be an AKD Junior Designer?" Mackenzie said, "I've always wanted to design and create costumes. I just started to sew this summer and love it!" Mackenzie won't need to sew anything during this process, but we know who to call when in case of emergency!

Our first step in welcoming Mackenzie to the AKD Junior Designer program was sending her the WELCOME PACKAGE! This included her Junior Designer T-shirt, some directions on getting started, and her very own electronic drawing pad, just like the one Angela uses when creating costume sketches for some of the most famous cheer and dance teams in the world!

Check back in the coming weeks as we unveil Mackenzie's sketches and follow her on her AKD Junior Designer journey.

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 hope that these Junior Designers will influence more children and teens to become young leaders and encourage them to follow their designing dreams.

Spotlight on AKD Junior Designer Julia - Age 10 - The Creation!

Blog #3: Following Julia, Age 10, Italy: Since its launch in November, the Angela King Designs Role Models program has proven to be hugely successful with our present and future junior designers. Today we unveil the final outcome created by our first designer Julia! We are proud to release the first photos of Julia wearing her very own Angela King Designs creation! Julia's mom wrote, "Julia received her cheerleading costume on Friday. She was so excited to see her creation, and was so amazed too see how beautiful it turned out.  It fits her perfectly and she modeled it with so much pride. Thanks so much for everything, this has definitely been a wonderful experience, one she will never forget!"

Since Julia was selected as the first AKD Junior Designer, we knew she was very skilled at sketching her dream costume, showing no inhibitions about using color! Based on Julia's sketch, we sent her fabrics to choose from. We took her measurements, and within a matter of weeks, we were able to bring her design to life!

We also knew that Julia was very diligent about meeting our requested deadlines and patiently waiting for the process to unfold. What we didn't know .... was that she can do some amazing splits! No wonder she wanted to design a cheerleading uniform!  

Congratulations, Julia, on your first AKD creation. She is the first of our series of AKD Junior Designers. Next up this month is Mackenzie in Michigan! Mackenzie is 13 years old, describes herself as outgoing, funny, nice and bubbly. In just a matter of days we will tell you more about this young lady and take you through her first phase of the Junior Designer process. Visit www.akdrolemodels.com to learn more about the AKD Junior Designers selection process, browse famous junior performance wear designs such as the Arizona Cardinals Junior Cheerleaders and the Chicago Junior Luvabulls, and inquire about creating your team junior wear.
