British designer Romero Bryan started designing clothes at the age of thirteen.
He was wearing a shirt of his own design one day, when it was noticed by pop duo Daphne and Celeste, who asked if he would make something creative for them.
When he was seventeen, Samantha Mumba wore one of his designs to the Brit awards, and his rising star took off like a rocket.
Over the next couple of years, Romero dressed Destiny's Child, The Honeyz, Usher and Tweet, and designed the clothes worn by The Sugababes in one of their music videos.
By the age of nineteen, Romero had dressed Cameron Diaz and Beyonce Knowles, and had his answering machine message recorded by Kelis.
He may even have dressed Posh Spice!
"I love Victoria Beckham," he told The Telegraph. "I know she's bought one of my denim mini skirts, but I've never seen her wear it."
In 2003 he was listed number 5 on the Bank of Scotland Rich List 2020, with the prediction that he would be worth 30 million pounds by then.
He told myfashionlife.com that the honor seemed bizarre at the time.
LOL, that was well funny, considering I only had literally 30 pounds in my account at that time, to be told I was going to be worth at least 30 million was hard to believe. But you know as my folks say, money doesn't make you successful, its personal achievement that does.
Romero graduated from the London College of Fashion in late 2005.
His graduation collection showed a maturing of his style, with the sexy look depending on the movement of fabric, rather than the exposure of large areas of skin. He says he has fallen in love with chiffon.
"I love its fludity, its movement can be so sexy yet sophistcated depending on how its worn, it can be dressed up or casual with an outfit."
Romero moved to New York after graduation, to see if he could make it in the Big Apple.
Given that Posh moved to the US herself not long after, perhaps she did like that denim mini after all ...
