Ann Bonfoey Taylor

Students of equestrian style, take note: the extensive couture and equestrian collections of the original AT, American fashion icon Ann Bonfoey Taylor, are on display at the Phoenix Art Museum from February 27 – May 29, 2012.

Muse of the great Givenchy and the inspiration behind Michael Kors’ Pre-Fall 2012 collection, Bonfoey-Taylor was a member of the US Olympic ski team, a World War II flight instructor, skiwear designer, equestrian, wife, and mother.

For unable to attend the exhibit, there is also an accompanying book “Fashion Independent: The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor.” Style.com also does a nice pictorial biography here.
