Anae, 6 ½ years old - Paris, France

Anaé  (little flower in Japanese) loves costumes, spangles dresses, make up, glitters… She got into this in NYC where she lived for 4 years and used to go to school in tutu or even dressed up as often as she could. “She is something special…always adding her touch of style even when she was a very little girl. All her teachers said she would be a famous fashion designer someday” says her mother Gabrielle, Founder of La Langerie.

What do you want to be when you grow up Wanna be a star Wanna be on stage

What is your big dream? That all my Friday evening’s prayers become true

Are you scared of anything? If so tell me what and why Dark night and tender hairy spiders
