Los Angeles fourth-grader becomes youngest ever fashion designer to debut at Paris Fashion Week

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.
"Just a big deal. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger deal than a big deal," Max said while speaking with CBS LA. "Because Paris is the home of fashion!"
Max is also a big deal, already taking the world by storm in 2023 as the Guinness World Record holder for the youngest runway fashion designer. With Paris Fashion Week kicking off on Wednesday, he's now also the youngest ever designer to have his own show on fashion's biggest stage.

CBS LA caught up with Max as he packed his newest collection for his Fashion Week debut, a stark contrast from the normal life of a fourth grader living in West Los Angeles. ... While full of childhood whimsy and a playful personality, he's all business when it comes to fashion. ... "My collection consists of 15 dresses and they're all, well, 90 percent of my show is biodegradable, recyclable, sustainable, made from dead stock and surplus," Max explained. "Dead stock is leftover material not used by companies. ... It would have been in the landfill unless I rescued it."
