Please welcome August Getty to the stage. He's a young fashion designer living in Los Angeles. He just showed his fashion collection at New York Fashion Week, and he's only 20 years old. How did it feel to be one of the youngest designers at the event? Were you nervous?
It was a dream come true. I wasn't nervous. I was just very excited. When I was a kid, I made outfits from paper and rest spoons and forks. My biggest wish was to show my creations in New York.
What was your childhood like?
My family was very supportive. My mom let me cut up her bags to make clothes, and I loved picking out outfits for my sister to wear. My mom was also into fashion, so she encouraged me to follow my interests.
How would you describe the outfits you design?
I would say they are different, strange and stylish. I want my outfits to be nice enough to wear to a fancy event. But I also want them to get noticed.
Is your real name August?
Yes, I was born in August, so my parents named me after the month.
Have you ever been out on the street and seen someone in one of your outfits?
I have! It's always fun when that happens.
