7岁男孩自带时尚天赋，4岁开始缝纫办秀

Most 7-year-old boys probably don’t even know who or what Gucci is, but Max Alexander, a 7-year-old fashion design talent from the US, not only knows all about the famous Italian designer, he claims to have been him in a past life.

The boy’s mother, Madison, said that he revealed his passion for women’s fashion one evening in 2021, while they were all at the dinner table. “I didn’t notice. He told us. We were at dinner during the lockdown, and he just announced, ‘I need a mannequin (时装模特),’” Madison Alexander recalled. “He was very serious. No laughing. I said, ‘Okay, I’ve never seen you interested in fashion. What are you talking about?’ He said, ‘That’s because I don’t have a mannequin. If you get me a mannequin, I’ll show you. I’m a dressmaker.’”

The craziest thing was that Max had never been exposed (接触) to women’s fashion before, he just started making dresses, and he’s been learning. His parents believe that fashion is in his genes, because his grandparents were in the fashion business in Montreal, but the boy didn’t know anything about that when he started dressmaking.

Max spent a few weeks watching his mother use the sewing machine before he gave it a go himself, but he’s apparently better than her in skill since. At first, his parents thought that his interest in fashion was nothing more than a whim (一时兴起), but he has stuck with it for the past 3 years and, if anything, he is becoming more passionate about it every day. “The really unusual part that impresses me, is the commitment for such a very young child, and his true passion to want to make people feel beautiful, which he has told us since he was 4,” Max’s mother said.
