INTRODUCING..........THE NEW FACES OF KRADLE KOUTURE INC

GABRIELLE NANA ABA G. (GABBY)
Gabrielle, aka Gabby was born on August 18th 2005 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. She is the older of two children born to Ghanaian parents. There is a lot to write about this fashionista-in-training but we will make it brief…… She insists however, that word be told “she is smart and remembers everything from when she was a baby” which is actually very true! LOL! She has a strong interest in fashion and is very excited about the show because this will be her first kids’ fashion show.

Gabby loves reading, shopping with mummy, music, basketball, playing with her little sister and the list goes on…… When she grows up she wants to be what she calls a “model doctor”, a model and a doctor at the same time…… Her favorite food is Jollof rice (a very delicious Ghanaian traditional delicacy) with chicken. Oh and by the way, she loves, loves, loves Cinderella!




 AVA-MIRRE O-A
Ava-Mirre was born on October 14th 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. Her parents’ pet name for her is “pumpkin”. Her favorite cartoon character is hmmm, now that’s a hard one. She actually likes every princess in the cartoon planet! Yes, and she knows and can recognize each and every single one of them. If you asked her which princess was her favorite, it would clearly depend on the day you asked her and how she felt that day. She’s the big sister to our next KK kid – Kelton-Pierce. She is the first born child born to parents who hail from the land of Gold - Ghana. Kids-say-the-darnest-things phrase: “Mom, quit that already!!” Her favorite song is Willow Smith’s ‘Whip my hair’ and Wix Khalifa’s ‘Black and Yellow’. And yes, she’s very much into fashion. She loves to shop with mummy and pick out her own clothes and mind you everything she wears has to color coordinate.

KELTON-PIERCE O-A
Kelton-Pierce was born on June 14th 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a couple pet names…KP, Kels, Pumpkin, Juicy, Kel Kel and the list goes on. His favorite cartoon character is hmmm, now that’s a tough one too because he is very indifferent…….He is the second and last (I must stress!) child born to parents who also hail from the land of Gold - Ghana. His favorite color is green (on behalf of his mummy, lol!) and he just loves to smile and laugh. Kids-say-the-darnest-things phrase: Kelton-Pierce is yet to utter his first words but it appears he will be a talker…just like his sister! Kelton-Pierce favorite thing to do is pick himself up from the floor onto his feet, unassisted that is, raise his hands and dance! Oh and by the way, they refer to him as the ‘dance machine’ at school. Hmmm, wonder where he got that from? Lol!




MARK JNR. B. (MJ)
Mark Jnr was born on July 25th 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. He goes by MJ for short. He might actually have some good dance moves like the legend too if you catch him on a good day, LOL! His favorite cartoon character is Thomas-the-Train. He’s the first child born to parents who hail from Georgia and California – that’s a pretty nice balance there, huh.












CHRISTOPHER-ETHAN G-W.
Ethan was born on December 17th 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. He tends to go by ‘Spidey’ (as in Spider Man). His favorite cartoon character is Iron Man. He’s the first born and only child born to parents who hail from Ghana in West Africa.

Interesting event that happened with him - so one fine day he gets his normal ‘Mohawk’ haircut session from his dad. Once the task was completed, Ethan finds his way straight to the bathroom mirror. He takes a look at himself and gives a smirk. Then he proceeds to pat his hair down on the sides so as to make the ‘cone’ area of his Mohawk a bit sharper, for the lack of a better term. Gives himself thumbs up and proceeds to be content with his look. When asked what he was doing, he says, “Well daddy told me how Astro Boy wears his hair and I think he’s so cool so I want to be that cool too so I have to get the hair right”



PHANUELLE M.
Phanuelle Manuel, popularly known as Mimi was born on January 28, 2006 in Massachusetts. She is the youngest of three sisters but she thinks she’s the smartest of them all. Phanuelle is the face of Hope, Love and Peace and the little Diva in the family. She loves her family so much and can’t imagine life without them. Her favorite character is Snow-White and likes to play with “Baby Alive”. Her favorite color is pink and she loves jellybeans.

Mimi is very good at doing impressions and could become a successful voice actor but she says she wants to be a pediatrician. She really, really loves ballet dance too. She is very excited about this fashion event and can’t wait to catwalk!










PHAEDRA M.
I am Phaedra Nana Ama Manuel. I am a Glowing Leo, born on August 16, 2003 in Ghana. I have two sisters, Phoebe and Phanuelle. My favorite character is Ariel and so no wonder I love to swim a lot and hope to become a pro someday. I also like ice-skating but my favorite hobby is to spend leisure time with my family. The food I like best is fried rice and chicken. My favorite color is purple and my favorite TV show is “Phines and Ferb”

My dad says I have the look and my mom says I have the spirit and I believe them. Can’t wait for this “fashionvaganza”! Oh, I forgot to mention High School Musical – my favorite movie and I had been known to be “Gabriella”.



PHOEBE M.
My name is Phoebe Manuel, aka Ewurama. I was born on May 11, 2002 in Ghana, a very beautiful country in Africa. I am the eldest of three sisters and as the big sis, I like to take charge when mom is not around. My mom is my role model because she is so loving and very generous.

I am a pianist-in-the-making and love to read, read and read! I also love to travel and have visited very interesting places including the world’s tallest building in Dubai. My favorite movie is 'Karate Kid'. I also love Sleeping Beauty as a favorite character. As a princess, my beauty is mostly within me.

I also have a thing for fashion and modeling and have participated in a couple of shows and so can’t wait to be part of this upcoming event. But when I grow up, I would like to be a Medical Doctor and a Philanthropist because I know I will be very, very rich!



EWURESI A.A. (RESI)
Ewuresi is an only child born to Ghanaian parents. She is an Independence baby; born on the 4th of July. At 6 years of age she is very mature. I jokingly say she is 6 going on 16! Resi is smart, outgoing, fun loving with a really good heart. She can be shy at times but quick to warm up once she gets comfortable with her surroundings. She has a hilarious sense of humor which never seizes to amaze me. Ask her to tell you a joke and you will literally be 'rolling on the floor laughing'. Her passion for fashion can be attributed partly to her genes :-) and the show America's Next Top Model. However, great emphasis is placed on not making her love for fashion take over her living out her childhood. She is a tough one and loves Karate! She also loves reading and exploring the internet. Favorites foods include pizza, strawberry ice cream and anything sweet! Favorite saying 'OMS' (Oh my Stars)!

Besides that, she loves to swim, draw, play with her sister and friends, go fishing with dad and loves to travel. She is extremely excited about every trip that she is about to take. Maya's parents are from Bosnia and Herzegovina so she is already bi-lingual. She loves getting all dressed up and loves to get her hair and nails done.

Elle's favorite passe temps, to list a few, include swimming, playing dress-up, dancing, listening to music, reading, going to the library, traveling and shopping. She is currently reading "Princess Posey and the first grade parade" and that makes this book her current favorite. She loves all Disney princesses but if she had to pick a princess, she would pick herself.

In Elle's words "I am super smart and I can be whatever I want to be", but what she says now, that she wants to be when she grows up, is a model and fashion designer. It is of course no surprise then that her favorite TV show is "How do I look" on the Style channel.

He likes bikes, "choo choo trains" and airplanes but what he loves more than the cars he already has in his collection are new cars that he doesn't already own. Bryce's favorite activities include dancing, basketball, being read to, drawing, "driving", arranging his cars and playing outside. His darndest sayings include "My name is Brycey and I can do whatever I want!!" (In his boldest, angry, sing song voice)...I say, NOT!!

Bryce wants to be a doctor when he grows up and I have finally managed to convince him that it is okay if other kids his age want to be doctors too. His favorite T.V shows include Caillou, Max & Ruby and Bubble Guppies.

His favorite dishes includes nuggets for lunch and rice with spinach sauce and plantains for dinner. Two things he almost never goes out without these days are his sunglasses and his watch. And oh yeah, he has to make sure that his clothes match when he steps out.
