Cloud & Mist Journal - July 2026 Edition

My name is Anisha, and I am the proud mother of Cordelia, a bright, creative, and determined nine-year-old with a love for fashion, performing, and dreaming big. While modelling has become a wonderful part of her life, what I love most about Cordelia is her kind heart. She is incredibly compassionate, wonderful with younger children, and always eager to help others.

Our journey into modelling began just over a year ago. What started as a simple opportunity quickly grew into a passion that neither of us expected. Through fashion shows, photoshoots, and incredible experiences around the world, I have watched Cordelia blossom into a confident young girl who isn't afraid to step outside of her comfort zone and embrace new opportunities.

One of the most memorable moments in her journey was her trip to Europe for Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week! It was truly so magical and an absolute dream come true! Editorials in front of Duomo in Milan and twirling with her new modelling soul sisters in couture in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris were nothing short of a surreal experience.

Luxury is definitely a part of her being and so discovering Cloud & Mist was the perfect brand to embody her personality. From the moment Cordelia slipped into her first Cloud & Mist design, she was captivated by the brand's unique blend of luxury, creativity, and imagination. When she wore her first couture Cloud & Mist look in Florida, something truly clicked. The artistry, attention to detail, and elevated aesthetic resonated with her instantly. It wasn't just about wearing a beautiful outfit, it was about becoming part of a story, a dream, and a community that celebrates confidence and individuality.

While fashion is a huge part of Cordelia's life today, she also has dreams beyond the runway. She hopes to become a pediatrician one day because she genuinely loves children and has a natural gift for connecting with them. At the same time, her love for fashion continues to grow, and she often talks about one day creating designs of her own. Watching her balance creativity, ambition, and kindness at such a young age makes me incredibly proud.

Like many families pursuing their children's dreams, we've faced challenges along the way. There have been long drives, early mornings, late nights, and sacrifices of both time and resources. But every challenge has been worth it because of the confidence, resilience, and joy I've seen grow within my daughter.

My proudest moments are not the runway shows or the photoshoots, although those are certainly special. My proudest moments are seeing Cordelia encourage another child backstage, congratulate someone else's success, or show kindness when no one is watching. Building friendships and bonds have brought so much joy and have been an incredible part of this journey. Those moments remind me that while achievements are wonderful, character is what truly matters.

What makes our mother-daughter relationship special is that we genuinely enjoy this journey together. We celebrate the wins, learn from the challenges, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether we're travelling for a fashion event, preparing for a runway show, or simply talking about our dreams, we always remind each other to stay grateful for every opportunity and enjoy the experience.

For us, "Keep Your Head in the Clouds" means never being afraid to dream big. It means believing that imagination, hard work, and kindness can take you places you never thought possible. It means holding onto wonder, embracing creativity, and having the courage to pursue your passions while staying grounded in who you are. It's a message that perfectly reflects both Cloud & Mist and the journey Cordelia is on.

Cloud & Mist has become such a meaningful part of Cordelia's journey. What began with a single outfit quickly grew into a genuine admiration for a brand that embodies creativity, imagination, and luxury in a way that feels both magical and timeless. Seeing that admiration evolve into the opportunity to represent a brand she truly loves has been incredibly special for our family.

Behind every beautiful collection is an equally remarkable designer. Throughout this journey, Alida has been exceptionally kind, supportive, and encouraging. Her warmth and authenticity shine through in every interaction, and it is clear that she cares deeply about each child who becomes part of the Cloud & Mist story. The way she celebrates individuality, nurtures confidence, and creates opportunities for young dreamers is something we will always be grateful for.

What Cloud & Mist has built is truly extraordinary. Their designs are breathtaking, their vision is inspiring, and their commitment to creating magical experiences for children is evident in everything they do. It is a brand that leaves a lasting impression not only through fashion, but through the community, confidence, and joy it creates.

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Cloud & Mist story and are excited to continue this beautiful journey together as a very proud ambassador. It has been a privilege watching Cordelia connect so deeply with a brand that reflects so much of what she loves, and we look forward to creating many more memories with the Cloud & Mist family in the years ahead.
