Down the streets of Paris you spy a model-height, flaming
red-haired girl, decked out in the hottest fashions, and stacked to the nines
with jewellery. Flash! She’s being followed by the biggest
streetstyle bloggers, taking her picture at every step. Who is this fashion maven? None other than Taylor Tomasi Hill of course!

Taylor was born and raised in Dallas and went onto gain a
Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute. There she studied how to make things like
tabletops, shoes, and everything in-between.
However, a career in fashion ended up being her calling. She began with an internship for W Magazine
and was subsequently hired by Teen Vogue as their Accessories Director. This may be why she has such an affiliation
with statement jewellery!
In February of 2011, Taylor joined the online e-commerce
site Moda Operandi as their Artistic Director, where she focuses on the
editorial features (nytimes.com). The
site features clothes to purchase right off the runway, and was at the
forefront of this new style of fast-fashion for luxury goods. Taylor has also done some designing of her
own, with an exclusive capsule collection for retailer Lane Crawford.

Taylor mixes high-street with high-end clothing to put
together eclectic outfits that are still practical. She has said that she is a “clothing
chameleon,” with an ever-changing style and attitude. When asked what is one of her favourite
fast-fashion stores she answers, "Zara. Some of my favorite things in my closet have
come from Zara. Their price point is
unbeatable, and they have a great way of interpreting trends that's a good
medium between taste and quality" (refinery29.com). This pretty much sums up what’s to love about
Taylor. She has impeccable style, and
isn’t afraid to be seen wearing lower-priced fashions and re-working different
pieces in new ways.
