Meet the eight-year-old fashion designer

To be this passionate and enthusiastic in life shows what a beautiful time it is to be alive...

It's not often that we come across a child prodigy that shares his love for fashion at the tender age of four. 

But a mother shared a short snippet of how this young boy's journey began at four when he expressed interest in being a fashion designer. 

It was at this point that mom helped her little boy's dream come to reality.

Max Alexander isn't just an inspiration to many people; it's his relaxed demeanour (we think that has a lot to do with his age) that makes him an even greater designer. 

There's something innocent and brilliant that comes with being an eight-year-old fashion designer. 

To be this young and so sure of yourself is something most people aspire to. We think there is a key ingredient here that cannot go unnoticed. His parents' support of his dream helps him feel confident in his ability as a fashion designer. 

Watch as he shares his input on the dresses at the Met Gala this year.
