Isabella's text

 

Lots of people become good at something when they are young. And quite a lot of children know what career they want to follow when they are older. But not everyone opens their own company. This is exactly what Isabella Rose Taylor has done. She started designing clothes when she was eight years old.

 

At the time, she was a keen painter. She used a lot of reds, blues and yellow, and these colours helped her to think of new clothes which she could make.

 

When she started designing and making clothes, Isabella just made clothes for fun. But people liked her designs, so soon she started selling them online. Now she has a business and takes part in fashion shows. She runs her business from the family home, where she has made one room into an office, and another into a studio where the clothes are made.

 

Isabella has also found time to finish school and get a college degree. She’s intelligent, and she has thousands of followers online who love her stuff. It’s brilliant that she already has people who work for her. Above all, she really knows what is needed to succeed in the world of fashion. And I am sure that she will.

 

‘The way I see it is I get to follow my dream and be a teenager at the same time. I think I’m pretty lucky,’ she says.
