Taylor Love Couture
Taylor Love founded Taylor Love Couture in 2015 with the vision to create a brand that embodies luxurious street wear. Each piece that she curates is drawn, sewn, and made custom by Taylor. Taylor has known from a young age that fashion was her life’s work and has graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Fashion Design from Mount Ida College in 2016. Taylor Love Couture has two main collections out with The “Motorsport” Fall/Winter 2018 Androgynous line as well as her Fall/Winter 2018 Lingerie Collection with “Dia De Los Muertos” as the inspiration.

I was able to sit tall with Taylor to discuss her inspiration and where she will be next!

What inspired your 1920’s inspired pieces?

“I used a lot of different vintage kind of looks, like I wanted it to look very old Hollywood so I used like lace and feathers and silks, so very luxurious.”

When did you start taking fashion seriously?

“Yeah, well ever since I was a kid I was really not into anything at school like I couldn’t really find what was my niche and then I got to high school and there was a fashion class so I fell in love and that’s when I knew that this was something I could do for the rest of my life whether I get paid or not and be happy.”

Looking back, what did your first piece look like?

“Oh My God! It’s so funny you say that, because I literally just found it the other day. It’s like this cute little pajama top with a little scrunchie, and it’s got little rick rack straps that aren’t even appropriate as straps.” She said. “It was funny to see how far I’ve come and I’m so proud of myself.”

Where do you get your inspiration usually?

“Yes! My favorite question of all and my favorite fashion icon ever is Rihanna. The best style icon ever! I love her, that is my girl and I aspire to be her designer one-day.”

Where can we find you next?

“My next show will be in P Town at the Women of Color Weekend. It’s actually a LGBTQ event so it’s going to be in the Cape May 31-June 1st. I will be there showcasing my androgynous line.”
