Shopping at Nordstrom’s, a fashion line designed by a 13-year-old is not something you would expect to see, yet there it is, Isabella Rose Taylor. In 2010 Isabella Rose Taylor the designer of the clothing line bearing her name became inspired to learn to sew and try fashion design. As her love for fashion has grown she has released several collections in her clothing line beginning in fall of 2013.
In addition to fashion, Isabella has a love of painting. While I personally do not care for her style of art, I can definitely appreciate her talent as some of her paintings are quite impressive, especially considering she is only 13 years old.
She has won several awards for her work in art, fashion, and poetry and has been featured in magazines and television including the Today show.
Using social media Isabella has been able to get the word out about her clothing line. She keeps Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube accounts believing that social media is important tool for the entrepreneur.
Isabella demonstrates right brained thinking with her different creative interests. This right brained thinking will be quite helpful as her entrepreneurial spirit grows as she expands her work, continuing on in her successful fashion design career.
How cool is it to hear a 13 year old has already become an entrepreneur and been very successful. Though I’m not a fashion fan I can be impressed by this girls motivation to be successful and do what she loves. Part of being an entrepreneur is being able to tell a story with what you make. This girls story is part of her product and that is part of what makes her product so special. What we can learn from Isabella is that part of being successful is creating something that not only is functional but has significance and tells a story.
I think this is a very inspiring story. Seeing a 13 year old putting herself out there and being willing to take risks really shows that anyone can be successful if you’re willing to go for it and work hard. Also, I really like the fact that she is implementing right brain thinking at such an early age.
I think that as we age, right brain thinking is actively “beaten” out of us by the rigidity of many aspects of society. We could all learn something from people like Isabella who are not afraid to take those little sparks of creativity and turn them into something incredible. Maybe we should be bringing out the kid in us a bit more.
