New York-based designer Tanya Taylor seeks to challenge
women to confidently add colour and print to their lives.
Her fashions embody an artful pursuit of individuality
and optimism. Each collection is focused on simple
feminine shapes enhanced with saturated uses of
colour and prints that express ingenuity and hope.
Raised in Toronto, Taylor grew up surrounded by
three generations of fiercely ambitious women whose
creative approach to fashion inspired her from an early age.
Taylor was nominated for CAFA's International Canadian Designer of the Year
Award in 2016.
This work of art is inspired by the beauty of nostalgia. The artist asked 50 of her
closest friends and family to describe a motif, flower or symbol that represents
happiness in their lives during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. She then
painted each of these onto the brain to embody the distinct and individualized
power of memory in our lives.
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
