At just 10 years old, Max Alexander has already accomplished a lot in the fashion industry. With his own design label, employees, millions of social media followers, and a collection of clothing focused on sustainability, he's now adding one more accolade to his long list of successes by becoming the youngest ever designer to have a show at Paris Fashion Week. While full of childhood whimsy and a playful personality, he's all business when it comes to fashion. His collection is 90% biodegradable, recyclable, and sustainable, made from dead stock (leftover material not used by companies) and surplus. He admits the material would have been in the landfill had he not rescued it. His newest bag design sold out in just 24 hours, as did the set of charms he recently released. He says that through all of his designs, he focuses on saving environmental sustainability while ensuring that creativity seeps from every seam. His “career” began when he was just 7 years old, preparing for his first fashion show after taking social media by storm. When his mother started up an Instagram account for his designs, he gained more than a million followers — now he has nearly 6 million. He views his journey to Paris Fashion week as an incredible accomplishment, while making sure to note that it was only possible because of the support he’s received, for which he is forever grateful. Alexander's designs for dresses, pajamas, tees, hoodies and more are sold on his website.
