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.

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 .
She recently debuted a piece from her line titled Logan’s Unicorn Collection on the catwalk at the launch of Island Child Style, to the amazement of the audience. Inspired by her own imagination, she went for an underwater mermaid theme, boasting bright colours and sparkling sequins. Her model, Haley Matalon, brought the right amount of splash to the runway, one that was ‘shore’ to leave viewers wanting more. The duo later emerged on the scene for the designer walk, where they were greeted by a sea full of love from spectators.
