This accomplishment was not an easy feat for 26-year-old Tait. One among 1,221 applicants last February, the Canadian-born stylist managed to stand out in the eyes of a committee of 40 experts before being chosen to be among the 10 finalists who had to present their collections in a private showroom at LVMH headquarters.
Congratulations Thomas !
