Fashion Show - Mod Kid
October 28th, 2006
We’ll take a Euro Inspired trip this week to meet the designer for Mod Kid. Patty Young is the proud owner/designer of Mod Kid clothing and is mom to two young daughters. She found the urge to create styles that reflect each child’s personality. Enjoy the show this week as Mod Kid reveals some hip styles that are 100% wearable, fun and inspired by cool kids like yours.
“I grew up wearing handmade creations that my mom, aunts and grandmother made for me. But back then we didn’t call it “boutique” — we called it “too broke to buy store brands!” When I became a teenager I rebelled against the handmade clothes and wanted only the latest store fashions. Of course, life comes full circle and when I finally had two girls of my own I found myself having the same “urge to create” that my mother probably had 30 years before (and a newly found appreciation for the craft!).
My daughters, Sophia and Sydney, are my sole source of inspiration for my boutique creations. Their funky and unique sense of style drive me to create clothing that reflects their personalities. My professional
background in design and photography, coupled with my insatiable love of fashion, gives me a unique perspective. Once I designed the first “boutique” set and it actually SOLD, I was hooked! And now, I live and breath it every day. Some nights I can’t even fall asleep because I’m dreaming up new designs and fabric combinations! Handmade clothing has finally earned the prestige it deserves, and I am so thrilled and proud to be a part of it! ” - Patty

Oh, I remember having those same feelings as a kid - my mom made me my Easter dress but I didn’t really appreciate it. I too wanted the store brands. AND I also relate to your trouble sleeping when in a creative mood. I often get up at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning to see what something will look like because I’m so excited.
