Fashion Independent: The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor

Edited by Dennita Sewell.

Fashion Independent: The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor

A celebration of Ann Bonfoey Taylor’s extraordinary wardrobe of couture and custom-designed sporting ensembles

Ann Bonfoey Taylor (1910-2007) was a pioneering female flight instructor during World War II, was a member of the US Olympic Ski Squad in 1939, competed in tennis at Wimbledon and was accomplished at riding and shooting. Recognized among an international jet-setting social circle as a wonderful hostess at her magnificent homes in Colorado and Montana, Taylor also played a leading role as a style icon. She was captured in photographs by artists such as Edward Steichen, Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Toni Frissell, and was regularly featured in publications such as Vogue, Town and Country and Harper's Bazaar from the 1930s through the 1970s. In 2008, her extraordinary wardrobe of couture and custom-designed sporting ensembles was donated to Phoenix Art Museum. Selected by Art and Antiques as one of the top 100 art museum gifts of 2008, Taylor's impressive collection features works by some of the most masterful fashion designers of the 1950s and 60s, including Charles James, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Madame Grès. The collection is significant for both the quality of the designers and for its depth, as the numerous examples allow for a comprehensive look at each designer's artistic process. Fashion Independent: The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor features more than 60 full ensembles and accessories that provide a comprehensive look at the wardrobe of a dynamic and sophisticated woman.
PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Harper's Bazaar

Maura Kutner

"The late socialite and sportswoman Ann Bonfoey Taylor's wardrobe will be at the Phoenix Museum of Art."

The New York Times Style Magazine

Stephen Heyman

"Ann Bonfoey Taylor, born in 1910, was a paragon of midcentury grace and timeless gumption... "Fashion Independent" ($60), a catalog from a show of the same name at the Phoenix Art Museum, evokes Taylor's indefatigable style."
