The fashion industry is notorious for shattering norms of acceptable behavior, but 11-year-old Kheris Rogers has already made quite a for herself. In 2017, she made history as the world’s youngest designer to showcase her collection at New York Fashion Week.
BlackBusiness.com reports that she was initially motivated to write when she experienced racial discrimination. Young Kheris Rogers responded by launching her own clothing line called “Flexin’ my Complexion.” Rogers says, “I know I’m pretty, and I’m not going to let anyone tell me different,” in response to a question about whether or not she makes impulsive choices.
However, that wasn’t all she did during NYFW. Tom Joyner’s Family Reunion and Harlem Fashion Week were just two of the venues where Rogers debuted her chic designs. Her popularity has skyrocketed in a short period of time, with major publications like Vogue, Ebony, and BlackNews.co praising her work.
