At just 14, Taylor Hill became a full-time model, and by 18, she had booked the career-defining role of walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, becoming one of the youngest models to do so. Since then, Taylor has graced the covers of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and walked for fashion powerhouses like Versace, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana during Fashion Weeks in New York, Milan, and Paris. Now 28, Taylor is stepping into a new chapter as an entrepreneur, launching Tate & Taylor, a brand offering a holistic shopping experience for pet owners. On PRETTYSMART, Taylor reflects on her 14-year fashion career as a supermodel and the unconditional love driving her latest venture. She shares:
How modeling helped her with her self confidence as a teenager.
The difference between a good model and a great model.
How showing off her personality helped her land a top modeling job as a Victoria's Secret Angel.
How the VS Angels became like big sisters to her.
Why she respects Gisele Bündchen so much
Learning how her self-image and self-worth needed to come from her and not her job.
How her company, Tate & Taylor, was inspired by her late labradoodle, Tate, and his battle with cancer.
How her late pet Tate was there for her when she needed him the most.
The moment she knew she had a connection with her new dog, Salem.
Her journey from fashion model to business founder in the pet industry.
