Daily Inspiration: Meet Taryn Liberman

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taryn Liberman.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
During the pandemic, I was siloed like most and was looking for a more creative outlet to keep me involved and continue to move forward in a stagnant time. I woke up one day in March of 2021 and decided that I was going to teach myself how to sew. I just started to share my process and showing people on Instagram of what I was learning, how I was learning and sharing vintage fabrics I was really excited to work with. In about two years, I gained a following of over 90k organically and usually sell out most of my pieces as soon as I release on my website. I just found something that I’m truly obsessed with that combines all the things I love, vintage, art and fashion.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I really went into this as something I was doing for myself and it wasn’t for others. I spent a lot of time and effort to get good quickly and that’s because I was obsessed enough to do so. I never stop when it’s time to get tough. I just found another way or solution to help get to the next step. There were a lot of moments and signs to keep progressing forward with sewing and designing.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I think what sets me apart is that it’s something that people really haven’t seen or they’re seeing it for the first time through the perspective of fashion mixing with art. I specialize in finding extremely unique vintage textiles that speak to me as works of art themselves. I have a passion with art. I’ve been drawing and painting most of my life and so when I transferred into this new medium as designing it felt very natural for me. I really focus on my fabrics as my works of art, and then I transform them into modern wearable pieces that are meant to be seen.

What makes you happy?
This creative process makes me excited and have more purpose. I feel like my art has opened up for people to feel good and give them something visually stimulating. Even if it’s small, I’m helping people feel better about themselves at the end of the day. Connecting with a positive forward moving community and helping others really makes me happy.
