Taejal studied Fashion Design at Birmingham City University and went on to become a fashion trend researcher in London. However, with the desire to become more creative Taejal went on to work for an independent designer in Birmingham and is now an Assistant Designer for a major supplier. This has both enabled Taejal to gain valuable experience but also determine that fashion is definitely the industry she belongs in.

Her collection is called ‘Gold Lion’ and Taejal hopes to inhabit femininity by using simple fluid shapes. The overall look combines layering and “encourages the individual to be experimental.” Taejal has been inspired by drawing and designing from a young age and has found that fashion enabled her to pursue her interest. She is constantly looking for new ideas and innovative pieces and is inspired by designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Dries Van Noten and Sophia Kokosalaki. Travelling, meeting new people and seeing new places is important to Taejal’s development as a designer and the opportunity to be a part of the MYFDA makes her feel “enthused about her future.”
