Girl Power: Mariah Green

As Mariah Green models her new red party dress, she beams with a special pride. The eleven year old designed and built this dress herself, with the help of the Future’s Fashion Entrepreneurial Women program. Before she attended the F.F.E.W. summer camp, Mariah was just a fashion lover, not a fashion designer. “I learned how to sew and to be confident about my style.” The program was created by the Women of Style, Spirit and Success as a way to help girls embrace and use technology while doing something they love. From the clean design and execution of Mariah’s bright red dress, she clearly mastered the skill. But fashion design isn’t her only interest: “It’s kind of just a hobby. I want to be a pediatrician.” She’s committed to her non-fashion related studies, too, and is loving her first year at Desoto Central Middle School.

 

“My style is fun and colorful!”
