Spring 2010 New York Fashion Week featuring finales by Lacoste, Georges Chakra, Andy and Debb, Academy of Art University, Christian Siriano, Chado Ralph Rucci, Vivienne Tam, Thuy, Diane VonFurstenberg, Rebecca Taylor, Tuleh, and Custo Barcelona. Filmed by Stevyn Llewellyn for Modern Glossy.
Rebecca Taylor “explores urban femininity” for Spring 2010. Her collection, which showed at the tents on September 13th, encompasses blazers, sporty pullovers and slouchy trousers. However, there are still flirty elements to be had, and Taylor does not stray far from her coquette “kittenish” roots.
Mini blossom-printed sandals, handbags and belts add a lively balance to the structural details and trim silhouettes, especially when paired with all-over dark solid pieces. Stripes and suits are far from serious, and stretchy grey jersey tops and tank dresses are no longer drab. Many wearable pieces were shown, including a variety of printed petal skirts and button-down blouses. Taylor also embraces pure femininity with strapless “corset-inspired bustiers” and large ruffled dresses in big apple red and deep electric blue.

Modern Glossy had the privilege to interview Rebecca Taylor on her new mini collection “Mommy and Me” which is currently selling at boutiques nationwide.
What made you start your “Mommy and Me” line?
Now I have two little ladies. I can imagine our clothes on them. Tiny mini-mes running around!
How do the economic woes of the present affect your perception of the cardigans and how well consumers will react to it?
In this economy, consumers are looking for special, unique pieces. I think this mini collection of Mother/Daughter cardigans provides an emotional connection.
This line is obviously different from your edgy, coquettish namesake label, how do you transfer the Rebecca Taylor aesthetic to something more undoubtedly subtle?
The Mommy & Me cardigans are an extension of my collection. They are feminine, modern, and offers the same special details that are on my RTW line, such as a stone closure and a ruffled shoulder.
What would you say your ideal customer for the “Mommy and Me” line is, aside from the role of mom? What kind of Mom?
My ideal customer for the Mommy & Me line is fashion-forward and understands the Rebecca Taylor sensibility. She loves magical details that make each item special.

Modern Glossy was presented with a sketch from Rebecca Taylor’s upcoming spring 2010 Collection, along with a sneak peek of what to expect from the show. Her Spring collection explores urban femininity. The Rebecca Taylor woman works, lives and plays in the city. Tall printed sandals and structural stretch dresses evocative of architecture are softened with corset-inspired bustiers and fun printed skirts. The Rebecca Taylor girl likes to wear her boyfriend’s blazers and soft, sporty cashmere sweaters thrown over tiny leather skirts.
Spring 2010 utilizes a playful pallate of colors, prints and textures. Intense shades of apple reds, bright pinks, electric blues, and retro jades contrasted with desert tans and soft oranges. The Silhouette is sharper than older seasons with strong shoulders and a new silhouette with an emphasis on the waist that enhances the look The Rebeca Taylor girl craves.
