It's hard to believe that a fifth-grader would already have a closet full of clothes ripe for refurbishing, but fashion designer Cecilia Cassini has eco-fashion sense beyond her years. She first started sewing at the age of six, perfecting her skills on old clothing scraps, and many of her "Kiddie Couture" creations still use recycled fabrics from used, damaged, or stained garments. Toted as the "youngest fashion designer in the country", she's already had her first L.A. trunk show and her pieces are gaining popularity among the celebrity set, proof that you're never too young to start following your (green) dreams.
