Brandon Maxwell and Lady Gaga (DAVID CROTTY/Patrick McMullan)
One of the many highlights of Sunday’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards was the lovefest between Lady Gaga and her bestie and stylist, Brandon Maxwell, who walked away with our Best Designer Debut honor. Maxwell’s hilarious and genuine acceptance speech was not your typical awards show banter: “I want to thank my parents, because I’m sure that took a lot, for me to come home from kindergarten and be like, I have a boyfriend,” he said. “My mom was like, Let’s think about that in 12 years. But she really stood by me, and my dad stood by me as well, and when I wanted to start the company he really held my hand and was there for me…” Sweet. For the Little Monsters who weren’t able to be there, we have you covered.
