Thirteen-year-old fashion sensation Isabella Rose Taylor is taking her designs to a new level by showing her spring collection during New York Fashion Week.
Taylor, who is a native of Austin, TX, is not the average 13-year-old. She has been designing clothes since the age of eight, and by age 12 she was able to show her designs at Austin’s Fashion Week, Teen Vogue reports. Nordstrom picked up the young designers’ collection which will debut in stores this fall.
Taylor is moving up the fashion ranks quickly, taking on NYFW, with her spring designs. She will be showing her styles among fashion’s elite, featuring the designers she looks up to for inspiration. She will show alongside designers like Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, and Marc Jacobs.
As for the clothes themselves, Taylor designs for girls her age, whose current clothing options may either make them feel too young or too old. Taylor describes her spring looks as “story of spring with rainy days and colorful beginnings”, according to The Daily Beast.
Taylor has set her sights high; she hopes to expand her brand in five years, and she is already well on her way. She graduated high school at the age of 11 and has since completed one year of community college, majoring in fine art. Taylor hopes to attend New York’s acclaimed Fashion Institute of Technology when she turns 18.
