About Cat Taylor and IoDF
Cattytay Taylor is a self taught 3D fashion designer that spear headed community work for and with womXn, queer, non-binary and trans folk in the 3D arena. After graduation from their fashion program, Taylor began using Daz Studio to bring characters and personas to their work in fashion design. As the lines blur more between irl and url, Taylor and their CEO and Co-Founder Leanne Elliott Young (she/her) founded IoDF, a digital strategy and innovation institute that is a driving force in digital diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry. IoDF works across stakeholders and social strata to build a new democratic and inclusive future in the digital arena by delivering immersive world class digital solutions, strategy, and innovation — working with major brands like Calvin Klein, Adidas, Nike, Samsung, and Conde Nast.
About the Bundle
This exclusive content bundle was created to reflect both Daz 3D and IoDF’s continued work to shift characterization into representation. Daz and IoDF collaborated on the creative development of Catty 8.1 including the development of hair, makeup, outfits, props, and poses to best represent a non-binary character. The bundle will also feature queer fashion at pivotal moments throughout modern LGBTQ+ history with references to club culture, catwalks, and picket lines.
