At Saturday's preview of her spring collection, Taylor offered a sophisticated, muted color palette. She also toned down the bells and whistles she often uses to jazz up outfits.Taylor tapped into the color-blocking trend that has proven so popular so far at New York Fashion Week, which has now hit its midpoint. Taylor turned out a lovely lean shift with an indigo top, black skirt and beads in an abstract peony design around the neck.
The peony was one of the common threads throughout the show at the Bryant Park tents. It was also on a rose-colored tank top with a zipper down the back and on a silk T-shirt dress.
"There was an amazing use of color," said Gina Kelly, fashion director for Seventeen magazine. "She's known for her soft colors, so this was a nice surprise."
Kelly said her readers consider Taylor to be the designer worth splurging on because they know they'll look good when they put her clothes on. They're also clothes that they can wear when they're young, but also when they're a bit older since the outfits are never too precious, she explained.
A short, fitted canvas jacket with a lace babydoll-style top and slim, ankle-length pants was one of those ageless looks.
A black beaded bomber jacket with a midnight-blue satin skirt might be a bit dressy for the lives of Taylor's typical customer, but in this day of starlets-as-fashion icons, one never knows.
