What do you want to be when you grow up? That is probably the most serious question a child is ever asked. And those answers may vary from a lawyer or police officer to a doctor, soldier or firefighter. These days, we have seen an evolution in career options. But one girl isn’t just sharing her youthful ambitions; she is putting her dream into action.
Seven-year-old Logan Watkins is one of the children designers at this year’s Island Child Style runway event. The young designer, who also rocks the runway as a model, is working assiduously behind the scenes to bring her creations to life and thoroughly enjoying the process. “What I liked the most is designing my own clothes and seeing it in person, because I like to see what I do in real life,” Logan told Living .

When asked how the showcase went, Logan revealed it was a great experience. “My favourite part was meeting my own artwork in person. Every time I see that, I feel like I’m getting more creative,” she shared. “What I think has helped me as a designer is how I work with art, like with the details and what colours I should use, seeing that my imagination is telling me what I should draw.”
She equally enjoyed being a model in the fashion show, adding, “Every time I practise, I feel like I can get better and be more confident.” Her strutting adventure has naturally played a significant role in how she looks at clothes as a designer.
