American fashion designer Tanya Taylor’s design philosophy has always been rooted in art, color and creativity. She hand-paints every print shown in each collection, which includes US women’s sizes 0-22.
Her style has many influences, from First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, to Hollywood celebrities like Meryl Streep, Tracy Ellis Ross, Kacey Musgraves, Gigi Hadid and Aidy Bryant. It has been worn by powerful women.
Taylor is planning a special family vacation this summer. He visits the historic sights of Belfast and Dublin, Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix in London (not to mention a Rolling His Stones concert), and the port of Greece where he enjoys beachside downtime at Helios. Different climates, events, and locations (not to mention packing two young children) present interesting packing challenges.
Taylor recently shared more luck About the essentials when she leaves the house.

It’s my go-to, and I’ve tried many bottles, and it’s really gentle on my skin, yet effective and a refreshing way to end a day of exploring in the sun.”
“After each trip, I would make a Polaroid and postcard collage with the kids of the museums we visited. I think it helps me to grow into an energetic and expressive individual.”
“I wear handmade sandals all summer long. I can’t resist sandals that are bold and chic, and are very comfortable even on long walks. I believe that style and functionality can coexist.”
