So Unbelievable proud of this girl. She decided she wanted to try modelling, but really had no idea how to start. We saw a post for TKFW auditions and decided to give it a try. Never walked a runway in her life, she watched a YouTube video and nailed her audition. A few weeks of training and dress fittings and she walked out there like a pro. Not only is she beautiful, she's confident and can do anything she sets her mind to.

Our little baby girl Araya did her first ramp walk in TKFW which was held in Toronto Downtown. It was a huge event and literally we are not able to sink in this feeling till now that she did it so well and confidently with a smile on her face throughout the event.

When it was first suggested that the kids participate in the show, I have to admit, I was worried about it being such a big commitment, and wondered even if they would ever be ready in time. i was super nervous for them, too. We've never participated in anything quite like this before. I'm so happy we said "yes" though to this new experience, we made some great friends, the kids' fashion was all really awesome, and the show was inspiring

I couldn't be more proud of my girls! I am amazed at how much they have improved, especially their confidence! Imagine walking in front of tons of people and photographers, keeping their focus, and seeing them shine... Just WOW!!

First time on the runway. We are so grateful to Noria and Co. and TKFW for selecting Lily Rose for this amazing opportunity! She had her first taste of the runway at five years old and loved it.

I am extremely grateful to have been chosen to walk for TKFW. They accepting me as I am was a dream come true. I hope that everyone around the world living with Alopecia can see themselves through me and know that we can do anything we set our minds to.

Thanks you so much for this wonderful experience and successful fashion show. My son looks handsome and confident. Thank you for coaching him.

Axel was excited every rehearsals, he made so much friends...kudos to TKFW TEAM for having my son he gained a lot of confidence, the show was fun and amazing. Axel had a wonderful experience. Linda Bellino kids made my son look handsome and smart. Thanks all!

Je suis ravie d’avoir eu l’opportunité de participer à l’audition de la Toronto Kids Fashion Week (TKFW). Ce fut une expérience incroyablement enrichissante et excitante. Dès mon arrivée, j’ai ressenti l’effervescence de cet événement unique, entourée de jeunes talents et de professionnels de la mode. Marcher sur le podium lors de l’audition a été un moment fort, me permettant de montrer ma démarche et de ressentir l’énergie positive de la salle. J’ai également eu l’occasion d’apprendre beaucoup sur le monde de la mode pour enfants et de rencontrer des personnes inspirantes. C’est une expérience que je n’oublierai jamais, et j’ai hâte de voir où cette aventure me mènera.
