About Taylor

Taylor Long is an International Plus-Size Model, Designer, Entrepreneur and Public Speaker based in Cincinnati,OH. She models for major brands from Kohl’s to Bustle and works abroad in Australia. Working as a model in the fashion industry, that deems anything over a size 4 as “plus sized”, has sparked Taylor’s desire to spread body positive messages to women and men across the globe.

After completing two years at Jacksonville State University, on a full-ride volleyball scholarship, Taylor decided to study her true passion and transferred into the DAAP program at the University of Cincinnati. During her time in DAAP she was given the opportunity and tools needed to become an entrepreneur and start her own brand from the ground up.

Taylor is the sole founder and designer of her accessories brand, White Flower Designs. Since it was founded in honor of her grandmother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, a portion of all White Flower profits is donated to Alzheimer’s Organizations to help aid the tireless search for the cure for Alzheimer’s.

Taylor recently completed her studies and officially graduated from the University of Cincinnati. She received such incredibly positive feedback on her senior capstone collection, which was a size inclusive, destination-inspired swim line called, Nomads Swimwear, that she has decided to explore small batch production and launch the brand. While in the beginning stages of launching her line, she is simultaneously giving body positivity talks to high school students, actively working to grow and expand WFD, and modeling in the states and abroad in Australia.
