Fashion Week: Five minutes with designer Rebecca Taylor

Rebecca Taylor's feminine, flirty pieces are must-haves in any New York gal's wardrobe. Taylor is showing her spring 2013 collection Sept. 8 at Highline Stages.

How would you describe your collection in one word?
"Hawaii Five-O."

What's your Fashion Week motto?
Keep calm and carry on.

If you could have anyone sit in your front row, who would it be?
David Bowie.

Ever commit any Fashion Week faux pas?
Does doing a shot of tequila before the show count as a fashion faux pas?

Of course not! What’s the first thing you’ll do once Fashion Week is over?
Dinner and drinks with friends and family. But I will be back at work the next day, working on the fall 2013 collection.
