When Liverpool designer Ben Mak first got his keys to an “old shop” in the city centre, he didn’t expect what his career would come to entail.
What the 34-year-old from Walton did know was that he was going to make a name for himself in the fashion industry regardless of what challenges would come his way. However, he initially overlooked how much the LGBTQ+ community would come together to help him become the designer he is today.
The Scouser is the brains behind the fashion label - Ben Mak London. The womenswear technology graduate has dressed the likes of the Spice Girls, RuPaul’s Drag Race winners as well as chasers from the ITV’s daytime programme.
