The designs are the works of Suchanatda Kaewsa-nga, a 30-year-old trans woman from Nakhonratchasima, also known as Korat, in Thailand.

She said that she and all four children are kathoey, which is a Thai term referring to either a transgender woman or a feminine gay man.

She said it is the children's dream to become models.

Kaewsa-nga said she taught herself clothing design and photography, adding that she creates outfits using things from her surroundings, such as palm leaves, fish nets and hessian.
