Style Spotlight – Taylor Tomasi Hill

Taylor Tomasi Hill is the Style & Accessories Director for US Marie Claire and muse to Prabal Gurung.

I’ve spotted her many times during Fashion Week. She’s hard to miss with her red hair and perfect porcelain skin.

Street style bloggers love her. Like most New York editors she captures the spirit of real everyday dressing with high-end pieces.

She is the Queen of mixing thing ups; whether it’s prints, colours, masculine/feminine or edgy/girlie.

Her combos make her street style so interesting, especially when mixed with her variety of accessories from Masai chokers to a multitude of necklaces which she piles high.

She seems to favour hips labels like Alexander Wang, Christopher Kane, Proenza Schouler, Givenchy, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester and she often adds vintage pieces to her look.

A pop of yellow via her Balenciaga skirt is the main focus point of this look despite her heavy duty Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte metal pumps. The rest of her look includes a bright blue Celine clutch, fingerless leather gloves, a grey sweater and Dries van Noten shirt.

I love her green embroidered Balenciaga skirt from her second look.  She keeps the look relaxed with a cow motif grey sweater.  Like the first look she co-ordinates her look with grey tights and some stand-out footwear.

Taylor seems to carry her black fur stole more than she wears it, but it makes a great accessory.  On this occasion her look includes a Givenchy turtleneck, fringed leather Isabel Marant skirt and Christian Louboutin boots.

Taylor has become known for piling on the accessories. A perfect example of this was when she added an oversized stack of cross necklaces and cuffs on both wrists for this 4th look.  A leather Alexander Wang draped skirt, aubergine turtleneck sweater and Balenciaga peep-toes completes this clashing mixtures of textures.

My favourite look on this post is this 5th look. She combines an edgy leather harness perfectly with the soft silhouette of her black sweater and Ann Demeulemeester skirt. The look goes from simple to edgy and sexy with the harness.

With so many edgy, innovative looks on this page, Taylor proves she can so sweet and simple. Her labels of choice for this look include an Alexander Wang draped skirt and Dsquared2 cashmere sweater.

She accessorized with peachy Miu Miu bag, Norma Kamali sunglasses, Epice scarf and Rochas shoes.

Taylor loves leather and lace.

Christopher Kane and Celine seemed to be her favourite brands during Fashion Week.

Taylor has two very similar Christopher Kane Fall 2010 skirts. One is embroidered with colourful studded details whilst the other has colourful floral embroidered details.

Just to give the look even more of an edge, Taylor adds a leather bustier to the first look. The second is paired with a Burberry Prorsum Spring 2011 leather jacket.

Taylor was often seen headed to shows in all four cities carrying a bright blue Celine pouch. This proved her with a perfect pop of colour to all her looks.

She also loved her Isabel Marant pointy pumps.

In the last look Taylor wears a lace top, DVF skirt and Celine oversized cardigan with leather pockets.
