Taylor Le, Creative Director at Pacific Standard
/Pacific Standard's Creative Director / one-woman art and photo department, Taylor Le took a crack at making our next SPD Playlist. Marilyn Manson, Rush, and The Notorious B.I.G. are a few of the artists that made the list. Here's what she came up with:
Taylor Le: My list is pretty eclectic to say the least! In the a.m., I play laid-back tunes to get the day started. As we fade into the p.m., my office is bumping rock and hip hop. I’m officially in the zone when things start to get ratchet—something about confident, take-no-shit music gets me going. I get lost and find myself free styling on screen. Here’s a sample of my gradual mash-up. I hope it inspires you to break some rules today!
