Lauren Taylor is a womenswear designer and aspiring trend forecaster whose work explores identity, heritage and belonging through contemporary fashion. Inspired by her upbringing in Liverpool, her graduate collection, Scouse Roots: A Love Letter to Home, celebrates the glamour, confidence and unapologetic spirit of the women she grew up around, gently reframing long-held stereotypes into narratives of pride and admiration. Through a trend-led and research-driven approach, Lauren reimagines pre-loved jewellery and deadstock materials into expressive, hyper-feminine garments. Her work explores the emotional value of clothing, transforming glamour into a language of sisterhood, self-expression and belonging, while celebrating heritage through storytelling, sentiment and contemporary adornment.
