Willow Smith banking on 'fashion future'

Willow Smith has 'been writing dozens of letters' to high fashion magazines to secure a column.

The 12-year-old daughter of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith is committed to establishing a career in the fashion industry.

The highly ambitious preteen is creating a blog and is hoping to write for a publication like Vogue.

'She's been writing dozens of letters and applications and asking everyone she knows to pull strings for her,' a source told Star magazine.

Will and Jada are very supportive of Willow's dreams.

However, the loving parents require that she excel in school.

'They told Willow they'll hire a designer to build her a website-as long as she keeps on top of her school assignments,' the source said.

'She hates homework, and her parents always have to stay on her about it; she's convinced that her future is in fashion.'

Jada has spoken previously about how she and husband of 14 years Will support their children's creative expression.

"[We] instill the power of individuality,' she told People magazine recently.

'We. communicate with our kids in a way that our message overpowers any other message that they get out there.'
