DESIGNER NOTE:

I founded my Eponymous label in 2018 as a reflection on the ways identity, dress and creativity intersect.

The brand is known for its use of bold color schemes and playful, dynamic textiles matched with versatile silhouettes. Before starting the line, I studied Sociology and Visual Culture at NYU while also working for a small, independent clothing brand.

Tyler McGillivary grew out of a desire for high-quality clothing that focuses on color and whimsy, while still flattering the body. It celebrates moments of creativity in every day draws inspiration from color-saturated environments that evoke a sort of magic realism such as fields of flowers, neon lights, or rainbow signage. These motifs are then translated into dyes, prints and embroidered fabrics that are made at a small factory in Delhi, India. The main goal of the line is to allow women to explore their identity through dress and to spread inspiration and joy into daily landscapes through personal adornment.
