When it comes to style, we are all inspired by what we see; Whether it’s a well-dressed celebrity, a jaw-dropping runway performance, or even a fashionable passerby.
As fashion editors, we are moved by all of the above and then some.
We are exposed to labels that go unnoticed; we see the collections first-hand months before they hit the stores; we attend VIP events; We access brands with elegant but economical offers and we buy a lot.
To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and hottest.
We hope this series serves as a buying guide and point of inspiration for everyone.
This week’s roundup begins with New York-based designer and philanthropist Tanya Taylor.
