The Dulcet Tones of Charlotte Taylor’s Hummingbird Maxi Dress

It pays to open your eyes to new things. In this case, we checked out budding British designer Charlotte Taylor and found the entirety of our senses engulfed in a fresh kind of whimsy in this world where everybody claims THEY are different.

Chosen to be part of online retailer Anthropologie‘s well-curated Made In Kind project, Charlotte Taylor caught our attention with her Hummingbird Silk Maxi Dress. This paneled, yellow frock is made out of a mirrored motif of hummingbirds sipping nectar from trumpet flowers.

Her inspiration for her collection combines fishing, bee-keeping, and Japanese culture– disjointed, but somehow Taylor translates them in a way that makes us think that there is no better combination. Birds, robots, and Japanese tea houses make sense on her bright-coloured, floaty silhouettes.

There is a midi version of the Hummingbird, a cream sleeveless sundress with yellow hummingbirds in the same motif. In fact, there is also a version in the form of a multi-coloured blouse– both great pieces to go from a warm day to cooler but grey ones.
