Emily Giffard-Taylor, founder of Bees & Taylor, grew up in a family of crafters. Whilst her mother was a dressmaker producing clothes from a shop on the Kings Road, fashion was in the blood for many generations before that. Here followed an appreciation for the importance of a quality fabric and an eye for a well cut garment. Still now this is at the heart of her wardrobe choices – buy less, buy well.

Beginning work in the world of fashion journalism and learning her way from Conde Nast to ELLE, Emily developed a broad understanding and background in all things fashion. She has experienced all sides of the industry including retail, e-tail and PR but it was fashion styling where she found her niche, setting up her own business in 2013.

With an established portfolio across celebrity, editorial and commercial Emily began offering her styling services to private individuals; currently she travels to all corners of the globe to meet with clients, allowing everyone the opportunity to tap into her styling experience.

Expanding her skill set to incorporate pattern cutting as well as garment making and basic alterations and customisation, Emily has been able to broaden her talents, working across costume and wardrobe styling also.
