Max’s interest in fashion goes back to when he was 4
In an interview with People Magazine, Max’s mom Sherri Madison, who also handles his social media accounts, said, “We were at dinner during the lockdown, and he just literally announced, ‘I need a mannequin’. I was like, ‘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.’” He also said that he was Gucci in his past life.
