Krishnaveni Varkal, 10

“Ever since I was two, I´ve had an extreme draw to fashion. It’s kind of like everything to me. It’s an outlet, a place to get excited over. If I’m tired, I can come home and look at a bunch of pictures, and then sketch some ideas, or go online shopping. It’s just a huge part of my life. I love to watch fashion shows and any big events that include fashion, like ‘Miss America,’ ‘Miss Universe,’ any red carpet events … I’ll just be looking for anything new … and gain inspiration from there. I try to implement [fashion design] in any way possible, from my pajamas to my schoolwear to when I’m in class or when I go to the grocery store. It’s always with me.”
