About Maxwell Osborne

Public School won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and the International Woolmark Prize for menswear, and expanded into womenswear in 2014. Osborne later introduced anOnlyChild, presented in 2021 with clothing made from deadstock materials. That project treats available fabric as a creative starting point, giving familiar wardrobe pieces unexpected proportions and individual character.
