We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylan Kelly and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylan, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Personal branding. I am my brand. It’s imperative to create and build a brand the is uniquely you. I have a very eclectic style, and I am drawn to wear things that are distinctively special. People know that I will be wearing something that is eye catching! Be it the texture, color, or embellishments. I have built my brand around my personal style. What this means for clients is that I can pull off any look on the runway or in a branding campaign when I am modeling. When I am styling clients, I am able to bring out the very best version of who they are as well.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Unpretentious Model Coaching: My extensive experience in various facets of modeling has provided me with a deep understanding and appreciation for the fashion world.

In addition to my successful career in front of the camera, my knowledge and experience inspires me to train new talent , helping them navigate the exciting and challenging world of fashion. I thrive on the opportunity to mentor aspiring models, fostering their growth and helping them hone their craft.

My approach to coaching is rooted in my own experiences and the belief that confidence and individuality are keys to success. I am dedicated to empowering my clients, and providing them guidance through personalized coaching sessions. From Runway 101, Perfecting The Pose, and Virtual Consultations to build their own brand , I “ meet my clients where they are” focusing on enhancing their unique strengths, and ensuring they stand out in a competitive industry.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There is so much to do! It always starts with the fit- check out One Monarchy, and Lyontrap in Scottsdale Fashion Square. Between these 2 boutiques you will find the perfect attire for any occasion! The official grand opening is December 5th. You don’t want to miss this!!

See the city- Head over to North Italia in Peoria and visit their beautiful new location. Tell Jen the General Manager I sent you! The food is amazing and the service is fantastic! For a night out, Old Town Scottsdale has endless options.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My shout-out is to my manager, Natasha Kelly/ Next Stage Talent Consulting. Having a manager as supportive and dedicated as her has be instrumental in my career path, and what lies ahead for my future. My manager is networking tirelessly and building new relationships that align with my brand vision.
