Designing for Obama, meanwhile, was"one of the most defining moments" of Maxwell's life."Dressing the First Lady was like,"This is the American dream,'" he said.From his childhood in Texas to his work as fashion director for Lady Gaga, Maxwell has always drawn inspiration from the women around him."I had strong women around me always. I grew up with a lot of love, and my grandmother who ran a clothing store," he said.
In May, he dressed Lady Gaga for the Met Ball, assisting her through three outfit changes on the red carpet -- from voluminous hot pink gown to crystal-encrusted fishnets and underwear. Then came the June CFDA Awards, where he was honored as womenswear designer of the year.
