Brandon Maxwell: I have spent so much time during the last six months in quarantine just engaging and speaking with young students everywhere, whether that's on Instagram live or going on with the fashion scholarship fund.

It's just made me feel really optimistic about all the young people in school and the incredible things that they're doing. I feel really lucky to have met them all. I think we have to look to the young people, not just young people, but people in general, who've wanted to be in this industry, who haven't had the opportunity or the access. And I think when you let these great creative, wonderful people in, the ideas are just overflowing.
