It's 2023 now. Max Alexander is seven years old. Two years ago, he told his mother he wanted a mannequin (人体模型). He wanted one because he loved fashion (时尚). He wanted to use it to make dresses. His mother bought one for him.

Max spent a few weeks watching his mother use the sewing machine (缝纫机). Then he tried it. He practiced often. Now, he does better than his mom. He dreams of one day becoming the head of the Gucci fashion house, or at the very least running his own studio.
