Inspired: Skaist Taylor’s Spring Playlist
Skaist Taylor Spring 2013.
Entering Skaist Taylor’s Spring 2013 presentation, atop The McKittrick Hotel in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, felt like stepping into an early 1970′s musical jam session (the kind you read about in Patti Smith’s book, Just Kids.) The loft-like industrial elevator opened and James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” vibrated the dark hallway, while the scent of incense led the way into an intimate outdoor space. Celebrities, editors and buyers were nestled around rustic tables and benches, models emerged from a variety of vantage points with teased tresses, cotton crochet dresses and tea-stained eyelet skirts. Like the souls that found themselves at The Troubadour in its early ’70s heyday, co-founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor riff off the vibes of friends, icons and each other to create an eclectic, autobiographical mix. Bold bursts of poppy and lemon dance through the collection in a dip-dyed silk motif, while laser-cut metallic leather pieces are grounded by lightweight knits. The Skaist Taylor train is movin’ and groovin’ this Spring. Here’s the soundtrack…
