Waving to her guests like a pro after her runway show last week, Isabella Rose Taylor at age 13 achieved something most designers never will: She made it to New York Fashion Week.
Oh, and there also was her launch last month of the Isabella Rose Taylor line for juniors, exclusively at Nordstrom.com.
The Austin, Texas, girl in bright red high-tops has soaked in fashion since she was 8, got serious about it at 9 after taking a sewing class and uses her own paintings as inspiration for some of her prints and designs.
'I'm so excited. The adrenaline is pumping,' she said backstage after the show, where she was one of the youngest ever to present. 'It was so amazing.'
Olivia Somerlyn sang her single 'Parachute' on the runway before the models walked on wearing light pink baby-doll dresses and blue ones with a touch of fringe.
Isabella put graphic clouds with long fringe swinging freely or cute little raindrops on some of the clothes. She called those designs, and a floral print in lounge pants and a T-shirt, a 'little bit of irony, just because fashion can be taken just a little too seriously sometimes.'
Isabella showed maxi dresses, cropped halter tops and tennis skirts, sticking mostly to black, gray and blue.
She also presented comfy sweaters and cardigans, and short baby-doll overalls in a blue check.
So what got her interested in fashion?
'I've always loved creating, ever since I was little,' she said.
Isabella graduated from high school at age 11 and now has a seasoned team working with her. A sponsorship by the Dell computer company helped make her appearance at New York Fashion Week possible.
'I've been painting as long as I can remember and doing fashion since I was 8,' she added. 'I just love being able to share it.'
