A fashion outsider, who found a way to hold his ground, Brandon Maxwell will provide the young designers just the lessons they need to learn at this stage in their careers

Not only because he's definitely all about inclusive fashion and loving women's bodies in all shapes, but also because he's a designer who's made it to the top on his own, and clearly, the view is spectacular.
