Name|Taylor Jeffrey Cowan

How did you get discovered?
I went to an open casting call in Seattle and was offered a position, but I was working 40 plus hour weeks and going to college at the same time so it took some time to get into
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Studying to be a teacher actually. I had been working in a few actual classrooms just before starting modeling
People would be surprised to know that I...
lived for 6to 7 years on Kodiak Island, Alaska. My father was a coastguard rescue pilot at the time so we lived there for a while
What's your latest obsession?
Finding new earrings and buying video games that I will never have time to play
Your most prize possession?
My traveler's pocket watch. I want to have it engraved with the initials of all the places I've been. I give it to friends to take to new places
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
John Butler. He is an amazing 12 string guitarist from Australia. He puts a lot of soul into his playing!
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?

Seattle, Washington—I will take you into the mountains to see all of the beautiful scenery, fresh air, snow capped mountains, and beautiful evergreen trees
My favorite moment in modeling:
Doing the runway show for DSquared2 because the set was amazing. It was a classroom setting where we were all in desks, make and flow paper airplanes and got up to do the runway! Fun!
