If you make it well, it will last a long time," he had said. In fact, at Aspen Fashion Week, his models wore clothes bade from upcycled coffee bean bags, hand-dyed with turmeric, beets and indigo.

If you're wondering from where does Max draw his talent front, well, it seems that the talent for textiles runs in the family. Max Alexander's grandfather Jack had founded more than 40 dress boutiques in 1920s.
