I cant put crazy clothes in my store, she said.
Pretty printed party dresses were this brands first claim to fame.
She upended convention by pairing nicely tailored smoky pants with a pouf of a polka-dot jacquard top.

Taylors main reference was her own work, however.
The sequin-skirts (a different take on polka-dots) and jeweled obi-like treatments of pre-fall were also reimagined.
Thats a realization many designers are coming to, and its a wise one.

Taylors take on the ski-sweater, made in angora using multicolored space dyed yarns, was pretty and novel.
Working with suede for the first time, she cut it into light forever coats.
I kept thinking, where does novelty live?

The answer is in unexpected and unfussy details like these.
