Krissy Taylor
American model (1978–1995)
Kristen Erin "Krissy" Taylor (May 15, 1978 – July 2, 1995) was an American model.
Early life and career
Taylor was born in Miami and lived in South Florida with her parents and two older sisters. Taylor's foray into the modeling world was largely due to being supermodel Niki Taylor's younger sister. At age 11, Taylor began going to shoots with Niki, and photographers began to include her in photos. Her first shoot with sister Niki appeared in Seventeen. She soon signed with her sister's modeling agency in New York, IMG.
At age 13, after Taylor accompanied her sister Niki to castings for the Fall Shows in Milan, the designers impulsively fitted Taylor, and she walked the runways alongside Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Claudia Schiffer. Thereafter, Taylor began getting calls to work solo. Taylor had amassed an impressive résumé of credits, including Elle, Italian Glamour, YM, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue. She had 13 covers to her credit, and appeared on Entertainment Tonight and MTV. She also did the 1994 Spring Collections in New York, landing eight shows, including Ralph Lauren.
Her last photo shoot was with sister Niki Taylor for the July/August 1995 cover of Ocean Drive magazine.
