Great Grandpa Jack is surely watching over Max. 🥰 (I would have shared this story with ya’ll 3 years ago, but I just found out recently 😮) #dressmaker #maxalexander #couturefashion

Max calls this design commissioned by icon @sharonstone “The Flying Shmarshmallow Coat” 🥰 🪽 The dichotomy between kid and couture fashion designer always leaves me in awe. Max continuously proving age is just a number! Big thanks to Sharon for her continued kindness and support of Max. 🙏❤️❤️ #winterfashion #coats #fashionicon

What’s it like working with Max? 🤔 I’d say fun, fun and ridiculous amounts of fun. 🕺💃🏽 🍭 Who wants some candy? I mean, who wants to model?! 😂 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Team Max: @annkathrinru @kekelindgard @loriwaring @kyliewickley @itslindsayjay @lizjchoe @kimibilliewm @bmoore5766 @official_jordyne.Stewart @modeljesalynrae @charlierosetownsend Makeup: @briadaniellemakeup @beckyfrazee_ #modellife #fashionmodeling #modelingshoot #fashioninspiration #models Special thanks: @marniangelphoto @denverfashionweek @groundworkcoffee @bleusalt @bensonlyndie @stylebybek

Max is “playing 9-5” 😆 Actually, he’s in school til 3. 🤷‍♀️ Weekends are busy around here and involve A LOT of coffee for Mama! ☕️☕️☕️ Max has been making my coffee every morning for years so it’s no surprise it’s his favorite flavor! Yep, coffee! (He drinks decaf when he wants some) 🫘☕️😳 Our good friends from @groundworkcoffee dropped off some extra bean sacks awhile back for Max to have fun with. He used an existing pattern as the base for this dress 👗, then embellished and changed it up quite a bit to create what you see here. Technically this was quite a sewing feat for him! 🧵 Would you wear a totally sustainable coffee dress??! ☕️☕️☕️ Model: @itslindsayjay Photography: @paradigmxphotography Location: @groundworkcoffee (Max was not paid for this post, we just really love this coffee lol) #sewing #dressmaker #dressmaking #sustainablefashion

Max has been making a lot of dresses from unconventional materials lately. 👗 He found this SUPER soft, sustainable fabric in Malibu at a store called @bleusalt 💙🩵 (read more below) They happened to have a “3 yard wrap” so he bought it and made this amazing dress! Of course he added his signature fringe. 💃🏽 💛💛💛 (Max was not paid for this post, he just loves this fabric and wanted to share it with you!!) 💙💙💙 👉🏼The fabric: Bleusalt’s line is made from TENCEL™ Fibers sustainably sourced from botanic tree fibers From responsibly managed and certified forests. This production process involves a closed-loop system that does not allow the chemicals to leach into the environment, minimizing waste and reducing the environmental impact. It also uses significantly less water compared to other production methods! 💦💦💦🩵🩵🩵 THANKS for these awesome photos from this dream team: Model: @kekelindgard Photographer: @jtendero_ Location: @onesunfarms Bleusalt genius: @bensonlyndie

While he has learned to sew🪡🧵 , the design came naturally to Max. A lot has been trial and error. But the consistent passion has led him to dramatic growth. ❤️ After three and a half years, he is quite the sewist. But I always find this part so much more interesting. He almost never draws his ideas first. It’s more like watching a sculptor. I recently saw @zacposen on video and couldn’t believe the similarities. All artists work differently, but both Max and Zac seem to really feel the material and let it be their guide. @zacposen for mentor?? 😍 #sewistsofinstagram #draping #dressmaker #dressdesigner #fashiondesign

How to sew in a zipper! 🧵 Max was taught to make a V shape at the end, but you can also just sew straight across. Though I know we’re all going to now sing “You come down, you go on a V, you come down, you go in a V!” 🎶 😆 Let us know if you have questions! Invisible zipper demo next?? 💙💙💙💙 #sewingtutorial #zipper #sewing #sew #sewinglessons

Max is making Swim Couture a thing! 👗💦 His vision: Go to the party looking amazing, throw off the skirt, jump in the pool, get back out, skirt on, more partying! 😍💃🏽 Much of his designs are ocean inspired. 🌊 This swimsuit has a golden scales pattern and the outer mesh is actually covered in crystals that sparkle in the sun. 🤩 Do you have a favorite in Max’s swim dress collection yet?? 💦💦💦 Model: @lizjchoe Photographer: @marniartistry Makeup: @briadaniellemakeup #swimwear #swimfashion #resortwear #swimdress #beachwear
