Designer's quote: "I live to see men well-put together and looking swanky. As females we tend to be always buying new stuff while guys, on the other hand, most of the time, would do a shirt/tee and jeans, they don't really go beyond basic style. So 'The Max Allen Collection is a celebration and a creation of trendy stuff for men. It's what I would like to see a guy in ... to stand out. For the avant- garde piece, I went back a little in history and did a Napoleon-inspired piece I called 'The Voyager', which is a depiction of authority. It stamps a message of strong, confident, authoritative and most of all a man who will stand up for what he believes; secretly they are all traits I admire in a man."
