Max Alexander, a 7-year-old boy, has an incredible talent for tailoring and has been making clothes since he was just four: "We were having dinner one evening and he said: 'I need a mannequin'. And he wasn't joking. And I was like," OK, I've never seen you interested in fashion before. He said, "Because I don't have a mannequin. If you get me a mannequin, I'll show you. I'm a proper tailor," recounted Max's mom, Sherri Madison.
He also believes he was Guccio Gucci in a past life and has a deep bond with the famous designer.
Max taught himself to sew and everything her learned, he learned via trial and error (except for a few sewing lessons took at a local shop).
"He learned to sew really fast. He soon out-performed me, so I enrolled him in a class at a local store. They taught him a lot," Sherri said.
Sherri explained that fashion is in Max's genes, with the little boy's grandparents having worked in the fashion industry in Montreal. Max has created over one hundred designs, sold his work all over the world and even made a jacket for the famous international film star, Sharon Stone.
His dream is to become the head of the House of Gucci or have his own studio and brand called Couture of Max Italian. Max says he wants women of all sizes to feel beautiful wearing his clothes.
Little Max's determination is an example to all those who dream of success: with practice and passion it is possible to achieve anything.
