Welcome to Younghollywood. com. I'm Oliver Trevena, and I'm here with the gorgeous Taryn Manning. Yes, you might know her from Hustle & Flow. We're here at a fashion showroom for the gorgeous line Born Unicorn.

Taryn Manning

The line is, um, something that I do with my best friend. It's more just for like a creative outlet when I'm not doing music or movies. You know, I sit around, I love looking through magazines, I'm very into fashion, and it all goes hand-in-hand really in this business. I just performed, um, with Boomkat at this club in the Hamptons, which was awesome, like taking a break from filming to sing. I didn't come from much, and I'm very proud of my upbringing, like, you know, it wasn't extravagant, but my mom did say I had champagne taste on a beer budget.

Young Hollywood

So what's next? Is there going to be like Manning Airways? Is there going to be like Manning Vacation?

Taryn Manning

I think big, and I basically picture exactly what I want and I go after it. I do practice the secret because it works.

Young Hollywood

Well, there you go, the secret. I actually was on my way on the stairs and I thought I'd love to see some great looking girls. I've got a showroom full of models. So, you know what, the secret actually does work. Here I am with the gorgeous Taryn and Tara for their clothing line. Tell us how it started.

Born Uniqorn

We always dressed really weird and bizarre, but loved the way each other dressed. And we've always been into like thrift store shopping. We're both kind of going through this rough times in life and just like got got a little beat up by Hollywood. We moved up here when we were 19, and we're always been very ambitious and we're just wanted to do something productive and creative with our friendship. We went with this double-headed unicorn, which basically symbolizes us two. You just see that symbol and you know that it's Born Unicorn. We spelled it U N I Q O R N because it's like born unique. We basically wanted to show how you can kind of style it with the whole unique part of it. You can kind of make it your own. So Ren's wearing our snakeskin burnout, uh, ruffle dress, which is kind of perfect over jeans, over a bikini. It's kind of like we said, you know, you never know where the day's going to take you. We have actually now buttoned it up and you can you can wear it with jeans as well. You know, it's pretty hot, it's like 95 today in Hollywood. So it'd be a perfect outfit with some jean shorts. with the hood up. And guys can wear it too, of course.

Young Hollywood

I agree. I

So now we've got Ren and Ashley in our third look. A ruffle dress with the ruffle collar and sleeves. And then this right here is like the must-have of fall. I'm showing that Born Unicorn is unisex. It's not just about the females, not just about them two models, it's about the men too.

That's what I'm talking about. So I'm wearing the
