What makes Paula Taylor the ideal Plains & Prints woman
Just five minutes into a conversation with Paula Taylor and one would immediately feel at ease. The English-Thai actress, model and style icon possesses friendliness, charm and humor in abundance, capturing the heart of every person she meets—from Bangkok, THAÏLANDE (where she resides with her family), to even here in the Philippines where her popularity is steadily growing, with several major endorsements and even a starring movie role opposite Vic Sotto himself already under her belt.
The same five minutes are also enough to understand why fashionable women’s work wear brand Plains & Prints handpicked Paula to be its muse in 2008. Even for Paula herself, saying ‘yes’ was a natural choice. “Plains & Prints reflects my style exactly—classic pieces with a chic feminine twist. I love that their clothes are so ‘easy’ to wear; I don’t necessarily have to accessorize so much because they already speak for themselves.”
Paula, qui a grandi en Australie, did not initially have plans on entering the entertainment industry; to put it simply, it was the industry that found her. She began with modeling stints in Thailand after being ‘discovered’ while walking around at a shopping center, and the rest, as they say, is history.
One thing led to another, and Paula soon found herself being tapped to appear in commercials and music videos, which eventually paved her way into acting, nabbing roles for television sitcoms and even movies. Her successful stints in Thailand catapulted her to fame, and her warm persona earned her the moniker ‘everyone’s favorite girl next door’.
Depuis lors,, Paula has landed endorsements and roles in Hong Kong, the Philippines and even Hollywood (debuting in 2010 film Shadows), proof that her popularity continues to rise. She is most fondly remembered as one of the contestants of The Amazing Race Asia 2, where she finished 5th with her partner. Aujourd'hui, she currently stars in Thai TV series True Love Next Door, is a regular VJ for Channel V Thailand and, Bien sûr, is Plains & Prints’ very own muse.
All these accomplishments make her the perfect muse for the local womenswear brand, which targets upwardly mobile working women, and this is all the more reinforced by the recent changes in Paula’s life. She married Anglo-Chinese businessman Edward Buttery in 2010, and gave birth last year to a beautiful baby daughter named Lyla Jane.
Now a self-declared ‘multi-tasker’, Paula successfully balances work, family and social life, and personal time, making sure that none are compromised despite the hectic day-to-day requirements of her current lifestyle—a challenge she believes every Plains & Prints woman experiences.
“The Plains & Prints woman is at a place where she goes through various experiences that significantly affect her life; whether it’s a career change or a promotion, marriage, or even motherhood,” she muses. “What’s great about the brand is that it journeys with the wearer through the different transitions of her life.”
C'est dans cet esprit, the brand’s anthology of pieces is consistently stylish and versatile, impressively remaining relevant to the needs of the working woman—something Paula greatly appreciates. “I share the Plains & Prints wearer’s desire to enjoy fashion choices that naturally augment her lifestyle and the brand is able to offer these because it knows what these women want and need.”
En effet, Paula Taylor is the quintessential Plains & Prints woman, and the brand has done well in choosing her to represent it.
