Liverpool designer went from ‘old shop’ on Rodney Street to dressing The Spice Girls and RuPaul stars

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.
