Day 22|Annette Taylor|Host and Co-Founder, Mark Taylor Presents The Red & Black on the Green Fashion Show

Well known to most as a public servant committed to improving policy for the NC’s most vulnerable populations, especially women. She spends most days on Jones Street advocating for more access and economic opportunity for the left behind. She has served on numerous boards and commissions, and is the Chair of the North Carolina Council for Women, and convened the 2024 NC Conference for Women with Governor Roy Cooper and 700+ attendees.

Few know that beyond her professional life, she happens to be the muse behind the Creator, her husband, fashion designer and stylist Mark Taylor.

She’s the quiet storm and silent curator of the Red and Black on the Green Fashion Show, the fashion event of the Summer. Annette continues to execute Mark’s vision to bring sophistication and style to runways in the Triangle and beyond, while building confidence and changing lives through their nonprofit SuitednSuccess.org.
