Washington: Move over, Tom Ford, there’s a new Gucci designer in town and he’s only seven years old! Meet Max Alexander, the fashion prodigy who claims to be the reincarnation of Guccio Gucci, the founder of Gucci himself.

Seven-year-old Max Alexander, a budding fashion designer from the United States, claims to have a deep connection with Guccio Gucci.

Max’s mother, Sherri Madison, shared that she didn’t realize her son’s talents until he expressed an interest in dressmaking at four years old. During a dinner in lockdown, Max announced that he needed a mannequin, and his mother made him one out of cardboard. From there, his design work flourished, and he started making dresses out of knots and tape.

Despite having no prior exposure to fashion, Max’s mother claims that fashion runs in his genes. Max’s grandparents were in the fashion business in Montreal, and his mother and her family were all skilled sewists.

But don’t let his young age fool you – Max is a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. He’s already created over a hundred designs, sold his work to clients around the globe, and even made a jacket for none other than Sharon Stone.

At just five years old, Max organized his first fashion show, and his passion for making women feel beautiful through his designs has only grown since then.  Max aspires to be the head of the house Gucci or have his own atelier, Couture to the Max Italian.
