Mercedes Maxwell, discovered by Nina Smidt, made an unforgettable impression when a pixelated Android video from an old friend landed in Nina's inbox. Through the grainy clips, Nina saw something undeniably special and signed her on the spot. Growing up in the artistic enclave of Marfa, TX, Mercedes worked as a mechanic—a passion she took seriously. Meanwhile, her striking presence caught the eye of Kids director Larry Clark, who cast her in her film debut, Marfa Girl. From there, she was off to LA to launch her modeling career and much more. Quickly rising in the fashion world, Mercedes became a muse for Yeezy at the height of the brand's success, modeling for high-end fashion clients and establishing herself as a beauty and creative force. Known for her effortless style and captivating energy, she embodies the spirit of a modern muse, yet her heart radiates kindness. Mercedes brings her authentic sweetness and creative brilliance to every project she touches.
