Why Tyler McGillivary is worth it
Tyler McGillivary turns collaged vintage imagery, botanical plates, folklore and old photos, into stretchy jersey that makes getting dressed feel like play.
Each print is built from collage, pages of natural history books, mermaid folklore, vintage maps and rare plants, then finished with screenprinting, hand embroidery or appliqué. The cuts stay simple and close to the body, mostly cotton and modal jersey with stretch, which keeps the attention on the print and makes the pieces easy to wear and wash.

About Tyler McGillivary
Designer Tyler McGillivary started her namesake label in New York in 2019, having taught herself to sew, and built the first collections from her bedroom floor.
She pulls from cartoons, folk tales, old furniture, rare plant catalogues and science fiction, and the label became known for big, joyful photo prints of rainbows, horses and carnivorous plants on close-fitting jersey.
