Taylor Stewart breaks through the static of the modeling industry with an uncompromising commitment to herself and her truth.
A competitive and often mysterious industry, the realm of modeling can be a daunting profession to enter into. Despite this, Taylor Stewart has emerged onto the scene, setting herself apart from the proliferated photoshopped, airbrushed, and social media filtered imagery, by focusing on notions of authenticity. In her short career so far she has already been featured in editorials and publications such as Vigour Magazine, Mob Journal, and PUMP Magazine. She isn’t stopping there. She is constantly on the move, traveling from place to place, working with innovative and empowering companies that share her positive outlook.
So, Who is Taylor Stewart?
Taylor Stewart’s modeling career is a testament to her dedication. Becoming a model began as a dream of a young high school girl, despite her tom-boy stylings that would suggest otherwise. She needed to reconcile her professional and artistic aspirations with her personal style. She occupied her teen years studying the fashion industry from both a modeling and photography perspective to gain a deeper appreciation for the entirety of the process. While her confidence faltered, she kept moving closer and closer to her goal.
Her perseverance paid off. She is now associated with internationally acclaimed brands including Gucci, Juicy Couture, and Coach and even found herself the cover model for the inaugural swimsuit edition of New York-based editorial Proficient Magazine. While experiencing these early successes she continues to challenge herself and grow as an artist. She is building a network of collaborators, artists, designers, and like-minded models to bring the real back into the industry.
From Poses to Platform
While developing her career as a model, Stewart realized that this was more than a profession but a platform. She could begin working on campaigns that mirrored her priorities, beliefs, and artistic philosophy of fostering notions of genuineness. She found that she could align her career and personal goals to promote a message of physical and mental health.
For Stewart, the road to achieving her dreams was one filled with struggle and self-doubt. As has, unfortunately, become commonly inherent in the modeling profession, internal conflicts with body image threatened to keep her from pursuing her modeling career. Working to overcome these mental obstacles, she discovered not only a love for herself but a need within the community – a need to see real people. She committed her modeling practice to promoting authenticity. In being true to herself in her work, she conveys this message to the world. People of all walks of life can look to her as more than a symbol of aesthetic beauty, but of hope that we can all uncover the beauty within us and the love we deserve.
Authenticity allows her to set herself apart from the masses within her industry. When encountering these images of Stewart it is impossible to deny her infectious energy. There is something different, luminously emanating from the page. She has a natural radiance that is simultaneously ingenious and yet exudes confidence. Yes, she strikes a pose, and while dynamic there is an effortless organic nature to her movements. She is real. This candidness connects her to her viewers. Her presence alone creates an intimate experience, an elegance paired with a relatability that breaks through the inherent pretentiousness we often experience as we flip through the pages of a magazine.
She keeps dreaming. The cover of notable publications like Vogue or strutting along the runways of Chanel keeps her fires burning. She is insatiable in her ambition as she peers into her own future, and rightfully so. While we may only now be introduced to her name, Taylor Stewart has proven that she can create stunning images while inspiring uplifting change.
