Isabella Rose Taylor, 13, poses with her art work and
clothing designs at her home, in Austin,
Texas, August 14, 2014.
At the age of 9, Isabella Rose Taylor—a painter since she was 3—took a
week-long sewing class with an eye toward incorporating textiles into her
artwork. She quickly discovered a love for fashion design as well, taking the
class twice more that summer. Now, at 13, her line is debuting at Nordstrom stores this fall and she's set to
hold her first show at New York Fashion Week.
"It just started out as a really fun hobby and it grew into a business
over the years," Taylor said at her Austin, Texas,
home, where she's converted one room into a studio and another into an office.
She added, "I just really fell in love with it the way I fell in love with
art, and I realized that I just had so much fun connecting the two."
With inspiration from an abstract mixed media painting she did when she was
younger that includes reds, grays, blues, mustard yellow and neutral earthy
tones, Taylor created
a fall line with a "street grunge vibe" and "modern hippie"
inspiration. "It all started with the colors of the painting for me,"
Taylor said.
