'(8 Sep 2019) EMOTIONAL BRANDON MAXWELL THANKS MODELS FOR THEIR SUPPORT AT HIS NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SHOW Brandon Maxwell has had quite the year. The designer joined the cast of \"Project Runway\" as a judge, had some of the most famous women in Hollywood wear his designs on magazine covers and red carpets and accompanied his best friend, Lady Gaga, to the Met Gala, changing her into four looks he designed for her in a single night. Despite his successes, Maxwell says the nerves never go away. That includes work on his latest collection he showed at New York Fashion Week Saturday (7 SEPTEMBER 2019). \"This is my life, you know. I have a lot of people here who are very good to me that I employ, am I going to start crying? I don\'t take that lightly. I want to do well for them,\" Maxwell explained backstage after the runway show. The 34 year-old Texan made his 2020 spring ready-to-wear collection about everything he loves. \"I wanted to show in Brooklyn, with food I like, drinks I like, music I like, people I like. Just have a good time,\" he said. And he did just that. Guests chowed down on Shake Shack burgers and fries waiting for the show to begin. He also served them an array of cocktails and vegan chocolate chip cookies and donuts from Cha Cha Matcha. Irina Shayk opened the show with a twirl to catchy music that blasted throughout a Brooklyn warehouse. The supermodel wore a pair of green leather pants, a denim button-down blouse and an oversized beige leather blazer. Bella Hadid, a regular on his runways, debuted Maxwell\'s denim collection. Her look was casual with a collared purple shirt under a deep purple sweater topped off by a lavendar blazer and handbag. Maxwell is known for his impeccable tailored clothing, mostly red carpet ready gowns, but he changed it up for this collection, also featuring men\'s suits, jeans and sweaters. \"Honestly, the inspiration this time, I didn\'t start with a story. I started with the women around me. We didn\'t always use a fit model. It was just women in the office trying the clothes on. And they were like, I like it. I would wear it. So I am like, \'Okay, Cool.\' And then the mens actually, the truth of the matter, started with my fiance when I rolled over one night before bed he was like, \'I would love to have a shirt in the color of Bella Hadid\'s dress from last September.\' And I said, \'Okay, I\'ll make you one.\' And I loved it, and I enjoyed it and you know I love a little bit of a sculptured moment and a bigger moment and I never thought I would really enjoy the men\'s or the sportswear as much but I just loved the little details. Life is not about the big moments, it is about the little moments, one after the other,\" Maxwell explained. The final looks of the show featured contemporary takes on evening gowns. Shayk wearing a body-hugging black gown with open back and side cut-outs. Hadid in an emerald green two piece draped gown with high slit and Candice Swanepoel in a silk skirt with hip cutout and black bra top. Maxwell became emotional when talking about the high-profile models who appeared in his show.
