erin taylor’s designs are based on simple lines and flattering shapes with fresh fabrics. she specialises in skirts, dresses, clutches and aprons. small production lines, hand picked, embellished fabrics, and an affection for the handmade are what draws clients to her work. her work is a collaboration of 5os style-lines, a loungewear mind-set, with a progressive twist…

a graduate of virginia commonwealth university’s school of fashion design, she has decided to stay local and help promote and grow the artist scene in richmond, va. she works out of her studio in the fan, creating her patterns and producing her garments.

taylor’s study abroad in paris allowed her to study under some of the most notable textile and fashion designers. her background in textiles is attributed to her strong sense of color and design, along with a 5 year stint at a fabric boutique. studying the art of handmade designs under skilled artisans, taylor has used chenille, beading, dyeing, and smocking techniques to create fabulous one of a kind designs.

she prefers draping over patternmaking, and has created extraordinary one of a kind dresses, such as her icarus dress featured during an event at cancan brasserie. she recycles fabrics she’s found- they were a sofa cushion in their former life, and have been reincarnated into a bad ass clutch. curtains have metamorphasised into a glorious golden evening gown. she attends various art shows on the east coast, where she sells her one of a kind clutches, aprons, and kitchen skirts. a member of the richmond craft mafia since november 2007, she has enjoyed her crafty collaboration and support of her sisters.

currently, her fashions are available at her online etsy boutique, at elsie garden, art star, and at quirk gallery. her designs have been featured in style weekly, richmond.com, and richmond magazine
