Essynce Moore has loved clothes for as long as she can remember. When she was 6, she began drawing designs in notebooks. Four years later, with the help of her mom, Essynce launched her own kids’ clothing line, Essynce Couture. The sixth grader designs each piece of clothing, buys the fabric, and then sends it off to a tailor to be sewn together. “It’s really fun to see it all come off the paper,” she says.

Essynce sells her designs through her website. She hopes to inspire other kids to pursue their dreams. “A lot of people think, ‘When I grow up, I want to be . . .’” she says. “Well, why not start now?”
