Melissa Jade Aiello 2001年出生于英国，9岁师从一位纽约老师学习绘画，开始画一些时尚杂志上的超模和偶像：从Karl Lagerfeld到Anna Wintour、Donatella Versace到John Galliano等等。随后她又将这些亲笔绘制的时尚人物印上T恤，成立了个人品牌Tees By Missy X。这位刚刚13岁的小设计师，如今运营着一家T恤公司，她的品牌还获得了Vogue UK的关注和报道。
9岁时Moziah Bridges的外婆给他买了人生中第一条领结，从此以后这位小绅士就开始自己设计和缝制领结。采用复古面料的别致领结很快吸引了Moziah家人和朋友的注意。受到鼓励后，Moziah创立了他的个人品牌——Mo&0#39;s Bows。现在，Mo&0#39;s Bows的领结在美国田纳西州、南加州和德克萨斯州以及网络上都能买到。这位11岁小男孩的生意也越做越大了！
14岁那年小女孩Bella Weems告诉父母想要一辆车作为自己16岁的生日礼物，父母却告诉她要自己赚钱买。于是她用兼职做保姆赚的钱买了一些吊饰自己制作成吊坠项链再出售成品。随后创办了Origami Owl网站在上面出售吊坠等配件供网友们做成项链，并提供一个交易成品项链的平台。Bella Weems形容这是一桩“社交网络珠宝销售生意”，福布斯评估说这个生意价值25亿美元。
14岁的加州女孩Cecilia Cassini 4岁时就爱自己裁剪、设计衣服。6岁时她收到了一台缝纫机作为生日礼物。仅仅过了4年，她就已经在洛杉矶的时装展会上展示个人同名品牌的最新设计。如今14岁的Cecilia Cassini已经小有名气并且交了很多有名人朋友 (比如Taylor Swift、Miley Cyrus) ，也经常参加各种红毯派对。她个人品牌的服饰也已经可以在圣莫妮卡的Fred Segal买到。“别人Party才敢穿的衣服，就是我上学时的日常着装。”Cecilia Cassini骄傲地说。看来这位小小设计师还有成为It Girl的潜质。
来自德克萨斯的女孩Isabella Rose Taylor是这些小小设计师中最具专业精神的一位！9岁起，她就知道设计的灵感须来自“色彩、形状、诗意、旅行和周围的美丽事物”。她的个人同名品牌处女秀亮相2012年9月份的Austion时装周，并赢得了当年的“明日之星”大奖。“我认为通向成功需要热血、汗水和梦想。”——这句话出自一个12岁女孩口中是不是很励志？
16岁的圣地亚哥女孩Courtney Allegra从12岁开始学习时装设计，15岁就携个人作品登上了2012年好莱坞顶级设计师盛事的T台。如今这位16岁的女老板，一边从事设计一边为个人品牌充当模特和代言人，十分敬业卖力！Courtney Allegra除了开设实体店外也已经涉足电子商务，事业蒸蒸日上。

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model: Christie Brinkley (now age 59 and still stunning!)
Born: February 2, 1954 (age 59), Monroe, MI
Height: 5' 9" (1.75 m)
Spouse: Peter Cook (m. 1996–2008), More
Christie Brinkley (born Christie Lee Hudson; February 2, 1954) is an American model and actress. Brinkley gained worldwide fame beginning in the late 1970s with three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers through 1981. She spent twenty five years as the face of CoverGirl (the longest running cosmetics contract of any model in history), has appeared on over 500 magazine covers, and has signed contracts with major brands—both fashion and non-fashion.
Brinkley went on to work as a film actress, illustrator, television personality, photographer, writer, and designer, and as an activist for human and animal rights and the environment.
Brinkley has been married four times, most notably to musician Billy Joel, several of whose music videos she appeared in. Her fourth marriage, to architect Peter Cook, ended in a much-publicized 2008 divorce.
With a career spanning more than three decades, magazines such as Allure, Playboy, and Men's Health have named Brinkley one of the most attractive women of all time. Her financial holdings in 2008 were worth an estimated USD $80 million, primarily as the owner of real estate. In February 2012 she was ranked third in the Daily Mail list "World's 20 richest models."
