7岁小男孩自称前世是“古驰”
It
It's 2023 now. Max Alexander is 7 years old. Most 7-year-old boys probably don’t even know who or what Gucci is, but Max Alexander not only knows all about him, he also claims to have been him in a past life.
The boy’s mother, Madison, said that in an evening two years ago, he told her about his love for women’s fashion. He also told his mother he needed a mannequin and that he wanted to use it to make dresses. He was very serious at the time. No laughing. His mother was a little shocked when she heard that. But she still prepared one for him.
The craziest thing was that Max had never been exposed (使接触) to women’s fashion before, he just started making dresses, and he’s been learning. His parents believe that fashion is in his genes, because his grandparents were in the fashion business, but the boy didn’t know anything about that when he started dressmaking.
At first, his parents thought that his interest in fashion was nothing more than a whim (一时兴起), but he has stuck with it for the past three years and, if anything, he is becoming more and more interested in it every day. He dreams of one day becoming the head of the Gucci fashion house, or at the very least run his own studio (工作室).
