Finding inspiration in everything from art and architecture to science, JANE TAYLORis the millinery world’s latest star! Handpicked embellishments including vintage feathers, veiling, lace, gems and antique adornments are continuously sourced throughout Britain by Jane herself!
“When I was at university I found a book in the library about the scientist and illustrator Ernst Haeckel. He documented natural forms from coral to birds in greater detail than had ever been produced before but brought to it his own fantastical dream like quality,” Taylor told us. “The soft tonal colours of his wonderful pictures never fail to inspire me and transport me to another world. I often want to start scribbling after I have looked at his images.”

MCKENZIE EDDY
“I’m a pretty big tomboy who likes to occasionally throw on very high heels … that way, people don’t know what to think of me. I can be singing reggae with a dude from Africa one minute and negotiating contracts with Def Jam the next.”
Eddy in H&M Garden Collection singing backup for friend/recording artest sean O'Connell
One of those infectiously flamboyant and happy girls whose life seems to be at its height when an opportunity stirs her way. She sings, produces and is cutting deals with ease and the best way to track her success is through her style. Damon Dash’s Bluroc label by day, and Soulful songwriter by night in romantic pastel dresses by Erin Fetherston.
“The machine of the music business is changing, where an artist no longer has to fit into one genre,”says Eddy, who will debut her bluesy solo album on Bluroc later this year.
(Sartorially, its sound translates to more H&M florals and floaty dresses—with Air Jordans, of course.)
“Now it’s more about the performance and who the artist is as a creative person than the packaged brand.”
No problem for this multitalented triple threat!
