about our designers
Rebecca TaylorRebecca Taylor’s sexy, kittenish clothing has inspired legions of loyal customers to indulge their feminine wiles. The native New Zealander moved to New York after graduating from the Wellington School of Design. While working for a leading Seventh Avenue designer, Taylor met her future business partner Elizabeth Bugdaycay, who encouraged her to launch her own collection. Bugdaycay balanced out Taylor’s creative skills with her background in economics and her business-minded approach. Together they forged an unstoppable team. Established in 1994, the two women now have one of the most sought after collections in the industry. Feminine edgy, yet approachable designs have put their collection on the fashion map, garnering major editorial coverage as well as a nod from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, who nominated Taylor for the prestigious Perry Ellis Young Designer Award in 2000. Taylor’s creativity and energy pours into her collections with inspirational references ranging from vintage mod books from the 60’s and 70’s to the words of music, art and entertainment. With an almost obsessive eye to detail and unconventional color sense, Taylor’s clothing flatters and enhances the women who wear them. Season after season, the collection surprises customers with perfect prints, great knits, and flirty dresses, which fit into any modern woman’s closet. Celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Ashley Judd, Robin Tunney, Julia Stiles, Anna Paquin, Minnie Driver, Christina Applegate and Keri Russell are among the loyal fans that keep coming back for more. With a flagship store in Nolita, stores across Asia and the Rebecca Taylor Collection retailing in all major department stores and top specialty boutiques across the country, Taylor and Bugdaycay will continue to keep their customers clothed from head to foot in Rebecca Taylor.
