Brandon Maxwell’s Brooklyn show has more than what people have expected. Besides, supermodels showcasing a more relaxed take of the designer’s vision, fans were surprised to see menswear on the runway.
Speaking about the launch, Maxwell said, “I want to touch as many people as I can. I made a piece for my fiancé who wore it tonight.”
He further explained about his last show, and said, “What happened during that dark period was that my friends really revealed themselves to me and I realized, What am I scared of?… I looked around at my life and realized these people are there for me. Fashion is not about luxury and money, it’s about feeling good about yourself. The number one thing you need to feel good about is love. It’s always about the love that is exchanged in a place.”
