This week, on the podcast, host Eva Hartling speaks with Tanya Taylor — Founder, Creative Director and CEO of the independent, New York-based fashion label by the same name, which you may very well have spotted at retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, or on celebrities like Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Beyonce and more. Hailing from Toronto, Tanya launched her brand in 2012 after graduating from the Parsons School of Design. At the time, the line was described as “the fashion girl’s answer to Lilly Pulitzer.” In 2017, the brand started offering sizes up to a 22, and still focuses on size inclusivity to this day. Tanya Taylor quickly became a fashion editors’ favourite, and celebrity buy-in followed. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to start a fashion house from scratch, and what it takes to keep it going and growing in a highly competitive and ever-changing market, you’ll enjoy hearing Tanya’s journey.
