Max Alexander, 10, just became the youngest fashion designer ever to debut at Paris Fashion Week. He showed 15 dresses at the Palais Garnier on March 3, with 90% of the collection made from biodegradable, recyclable, or dead stock materials — leftover fabric companies would normally discard. His newest bag sold out in 24 hours. He has nearly six million Instagram followers.
Max started sewing at 4 after telling his parents he was a dressmaker. At 7 he earned a Guinness World Record as the youngest runway designer. He has designed for Sharon Stone, spoken at the United Nations about fashion waste, and shown collections in New York, Denver, and Aspen.
Fern Mallis, the creator of New York Fashion Week, sat front row in Paris. "He's one of a kind. I think anything is possible." Max is a fourth grader from Los Angeles who plays pickleball, robotics, and piano. His dream: becoming a couturier in Paris.
