And so it begins...

I had been meaning to get round to starting a blog for quite a while now, but I kept putting it off and now that I've finally got here, I'm not really sure what I should say..

I suppose an introduction is in order...

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Barry Taylor, I'm 19 and I was born and raised in Co. Leitrim.
A Super Cheesy Selfie 
I am now living in Dublin, entering my 2nd year of Textile Surface Design in the National College of Art and Design. The dream is to be a buyer/stylist for a fashion company, preferably high street like River Island, Topman or H&M. Although I can't imagine I'd say no if Michael Kors or Marc Jacobs knocked on my door.

I've always felt the need that I should start a blog. I love fashion and everything that goes with it and I also love talking and voicing my opinion...so it makes sense, I think.

I'm not really sure what the plan is, but for now I feel like 'Taylor Made' will contain things like:

  1. Celebrity Fashion - Red Carpet Events and Occasions
  2. Street Style - What People Are Wearing Day to Day
  3. Fashion Trends - Past, Present and Future
  4. Up and Coming Designer Collections
All of which I hope to accompany with my own illustrations, like these..

Beyoncé at the Grammys
Lupita Nyong'o at the Oscars

I can't promise I'll stick to that, there may be a few random posts here and there...only time will tell!!
I really hope you guys enjoy what I have I have to say and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.


Up and coming posts:
Reviews of Red Carpet style at the VMA's, the Emmy's and the GQ Awards.

London Life | The Official Move

Image
Over my past few internships in London, I've posted a series of 'London Life' blog posts.. so it seems fitting to resume with the series, now that I've moved back (long-term!!) It's been nearly a month since you guys have heard from me (apologies), but I swear I have been super busy! Currently in my sixth week working for ROKSANDA and living in London and I'm absolutely loving it... With everything happening so fast, in terms of getting offered the job and moving, I didn't really have an option, other than to dive in head first and make the most of it. I arrived in London on Friday, the 31st of March, moved into my new flat on the 1st of April and started working on Monday the 3rd. I've been so fortunate that I ended up living with two amazing girls, both so sweet and welcoming and have truly made the transition so much easier. Similarly, I'm so grateful for the incredible team that I get to work with every day

Paris & London | A Month of Madness

Image
The last you guys heard, I was in London for Fashion Week, well oh how things have changed... PARIS SHOWROOM Following London, I was at home for a week, before flying to Paris on the 28th of February for the ROKSANDA AW17 Sales week. I arrived in on the Tuesday night, just in time to finish out Pancake Tuesday with Katie and I had the next day to chill before starting the week in the showroom from the 2nd-10th of March. It was a great (albeit hectic) week, doing anything from teas and coffees, to dressing the models, merchandising and greeting clients. Half way through the week in the showroom (6th of March to be precise), I had a follow up chat with Carmela the CEO, re: the interview I had in the ROKSANDA Head Office, back in February when I was in London *drum Roll please* and I got offered the job as Office Manager at ROKSANDA in London. To say that I was elated, would be an understatement, it didn't feel real, the thought of a permanent paid position in a high
