Here’s Tyler in her own words:

“Art has always been a core part of who I am; from a young age i knew that was where I found my passion. As I neared the end of high school, what began as a focus on traditional painting jumped from canvas to clothing. I have been a thrift store regular throughout my life.”

“With that access I was able to explore and evolve my style into the fusion of art and fashion that you see today. Themes of juxtaposition largely influence my work, playing with gothic and whimsy, vintage and modern, nature and hardware.

“Sustainability is an integral focus of my production, as all base fabric materials are thrifted, salvaged, or donated then given new life as a wearable piece of art. Each piece is made by my own hands. Ensuring it will be a once-in-a-lifetime staple in your wardrobe that will be treasured for years to come.”

Style Social organizer, Melissa Crosson added:

“When I first met Tyler, I was blown away by her fashionable aesthetic. Grunge meets art in a way that stands out in the best possible way. As a fellow upcycled fashion designer, I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Tyler to The Style Social!”
