Maxwell Zagorski was born in New Port Richey and came to Sarasota when he was 12. Three years later his family moved to East Manatee, where he attended Lakewood Ranch High and played on the basketball team.
He did some small-time modeling work for a local department store, when he met this photographer from Miami, who took his photos and sent them to the international fashion player Abercrombie & Fitch. It took them exactly one week to catch Maxwell, fly him to Hawaii and launch him as the company’s new face.
His new life is filled with agents, businessmen, managers. At times, he acts like one of the grown-ups. As with most Abercrombie models they remain popular for a long time even after an A&F shoot is well in the past.
