At Age 13, Rising Fashion Star Isabella Rose Taylor Debuts Runway Show at New York Fashion Week
Isabella Rose Taylor, an artist and fashion designer from Austin, Texas, today debuted the Spring 2015 collection for her juniors clothing line – ISABELLA ROSE TAYLOR - with her first NYFW runway show. At age 13, Isabella is one of the youngest designers to exhibit during Fashion Week in New York.
The ISABELLA ROSE TAYLOR clothing brand for teens, designed by Isabella, also has just launched a fall 2014 juniors collection exclusively online at Nordstrom.com and at select Nordstrom stores.
The runway show, presented by Dell, took place at 11 a.m. today at STYLE360, the “premier destination for trending and renowned fashion designers.” The location for STYLE360 is 639 West 46th Street, NY, NY 10036.
Isabella described her spring 2015 collection as a “story of spring with rainy days and colorful beginnings.” She said her collection “evolved to reflect the Isabella Rose Taylor girl: a mix of modern hippie, street grunge and quirky details to embrace her ever evolving style. This season’s print and pattern inspiration came to fruition from one of my abstract paintings. I took this painting and transformed it into my fabric.”
Shape-wise, Isabella said that the collection is a mixture of “fluid” pieces, with oversized T-shirts, pleated dresses and loose cardigans, all of which is juxtaposed with more form-fitting pieces – which isn’t just a design choice, it’s also a practical one: the “form-fitting pieces accommodate layering in that sometimes unpredictable spring weather.”
Pieces in the collection include a cropped halter featuring an embroidered storm cloud, a sporty cropped tank top, a feminine muscle shirt with a luxe crochet accent and contrasting trims, T-shirts in assorted styles and featuring Isabella’s artwork, dresses from a trapeze design to a babydoll in both short and maxi versions, skirts, shorts, sweaters, a romper, overalls and lounge pants.
“Dell is very proud to play a role in bringing Isabella’s inspired spring line to the New York Fashion Week stage. As her technology partner, we are honored to showcase such an amazing young talent,” said Lorrie Schultz, Executive Director, Consumer and Small Business, Dell, which is helping to support and promote Isabella’s business through technology, business consulting, connections to capital and other resources as part of her participation in the exclusive Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network.
Isabella said that she loves doing runway shows because, artistically, she is in control of how her collection is presented. “Putting everything together is really nice because I get to pick the atmosphere I get to display my clothes in” – everything from the music to the individual looks.
Technology is critical to the ISABELLA ROSE TAYLOR business, design process, staying connected with her fans and preparing for her fashion show. To demonstrate her creative design process from concept to reality, models walked down the runway with the hottest new Dell Venue tablets with custom covers designed by Isabella. The artwork on the tablets showed the inspiration behind each piece in her Spring Collection. Models also took photos with the tablets on the runway and shared them via social media with her fans around the world.
The ISABELLA ROSE TAYLOR runway show also featured a pre-show performance by 20-year-old recording artist, Olivia Somerlyn, who sang her hit single “Parachute” that she co-wrote with Nick Jonas.
