I Love Rock n’ Roll

We know our staff is stylish. That’s why we opened the Style File.

Meet Taylor.

An expert buyer and manager at other people's clothes~~Taylor's a vintage beer tee collector, 60s fashion revivalist and the lead guitarist of Abby Jeanne and the Shadowband.

I talked to Taylor about her style holy grails, her West Coast tour experience packed with dive bar gigs and secret celeb afters... and soooo much more. Scroll to get inspired by Taylor's total rockstar style.

Taylor's a true American vintage maven heartened by alternative rock music legends like Marianne Faithfull, Brian Jones, Stevie Nicks, Florence Welch and Edie Sedgwick. She just returned from a tour of the American West with the local all-girl band, Abby Jeanne and the Shadowband. After a 6-week trek spanning the Pacific Northwest down to Los Angeles, she's back in the city with even more ethereal, bohemian vintage pieces to add to her 60s-inspired fashion archive.

The tour is complete, summer's here and Taylor's behind the buy counter at OPC. When she's not at work, you can find her creating handmade goods and groovy illustrations for her project, Roadhouse Blues Shop, gigging with the band and now officially DJing vinyl records across dive bars in the city. Keep an eye out for her next set. She'll be spinning alt 60s records all summer long.
