THE TYLER WENTWORTH® STORY:

From an early age, Tyler Wentworth was destined to be a high flyer in the world of fashion.

During the 1950's, Tyler's great-aunt, Regina Wentworth, established the House of Wentworth in New York City and created innovative collections that set the standard for 7th Avenue Fashion design. Years later, Tyler, who had always loved the glamour and excitement of her great-aunt's business, joined the prestigious house's design staff. She proved to be exceptionally talented, and it was not long until she was promoted to Regina's first assistant.

With the House of Wentworth's reputation firmly established, Regina began to consider passing the reins to a new talent. Spurring her on was her relationship with Carlos, a young artist who had instantly fallen in love with the chic, elegant, older designer. Soon Regina made her decision to move with Carlos to the south of France, and she turned the company over to Tyler. Although young for the job, Tyler quickly showed that she was equal to her new responsibilities. With only a few short seasons of fashion experience, she confidently assumed leadership of the House of Wentworth and received rave reviews for her first collection.

After confidently assuming leadership of the House of Wentworth and receiving rave reviews for her first collection, Tyler set out to take the fashion world by storm. A modern day designer with a classic look and enduring sense of style, she draws inspiration from the sublime beauty of fabrics and the external influences in her fast-paced life. Tyler Wentworth® continues the legacy of her great-aunt Regina by forging new paths to innovative design that leave everyone talking about where this trend-setter will venture next. As a five-time winner of Fashion Design Weekly's top awards, Tyler expands her visionary influence into the worlds of boutique dressing, cosmetics, perfume, handsome menswear of distinction, delectable shoes and luxurious home collections. She is a sign of the times, always current, yet setting the pace, a step ahead. The rest of the industry tries desperately to keep up with her cunning sense of style, but to no avail; her pace is too quick for them. She is one of the world's most talked-about designers, yet she maintains a very secluded and private world with her best friends, business associates and her new beau, Matt O'Neill™.
