Leigh has always loved solo travelling, meeting new people and learning new cultures which is what inspired her brand Curiously
Leigh Taylor, 32, who is half Indian, has always been surrounded by "colours and stunning embroidered saris" from her nan. Leigh used to cut up old saris that her nan gave her and then turned them into dresses and tops which prompted her to start selling her own clothes as Leigh Taylor Designs.
“I have worked with the same people for years, so we have built a great relationship together and I get to meet the talented artisans who create our fabric. But when working with embroidery factories, we digitally design the fabric on a computer together, select the colour threads and begin to create the sample.”
She added that: “I learned the structure of how they had different areas for designing, buying and marketing and it just inspired me to put 100% focus into building my own brand.” As of today, Monday, June 12, Leigh Taylor Designs was the first independent brand to launch in John Lewis. She will be based in the style studio where she will have an exclusive range for John Lewis. Leigh said: “I used to work in John Lewis while I was in college and studying at university, they supported me when I took time off for three months to intern in NYC so we have a great relationship so it will be exciting to be back in store but with my own brand.
