Taylor Bringhurst is a California Native whose experience in design has led her to create a fun and groovy art style. Initially, Taylor was a fashion student in Los Angeles but often found herself discouraged by all the minuscule details that had to go into her work. After learning to surf when she was 18, Taylor found herself discovering her passion for digital design, taking inspiration from her newfound surf community and artists such as Matisse and Georgia O’Keefe. Taylor’s focus on fashion and detailed work has transformed itself into fun and free-flowing shapes and colors. She finds great strength and inspiration within the community she has created through her art.

Anna White is a triple threat—artist, musician, and writer—working to create a more accessible platform for indie artists outside of the US. Beginning her career as a contributor for the prolific Rookie Magazine, Anna has been at the helm of multiple creative projects, including the Nearness Project, collaborative response to quarantine isolation, and her new record label and artist support initiative, Inside Joe Records. As Anna provided insight into her many creative endeavors, I learned about her ambitious attitude and how connection and bringing people together is key to her approach. Community and collaboration are a common thread and the result is a truly beautiful and expressive body of work. ~Wyeth

Xaviera López, best known for her short and visually captivating animations, first gained recognition for her work on the famous social media video platform Vine. While using both technical and physical processes to obtain the intricate movements of her animation, López loves to use her connection to nature and natural forces to bring imagined inanimate objects, beautiful feminine forms, and curious creatures to life. In doing so, López takes inspiration from her years of growing up in Chile as a child, and the beautiful landscapes and political history that surrounded her (these can be seen in her animated blinking strawberry piece, as well as in her journals where she has drawings of flowers, animals and other natural entities). López emphasizes the importance of movement, not only in her pieces but in the process of creating them. Movement inspires López in many senses of the word, starting as a “conversation” as López admits, and in the making of her ideas, they move and change themselves.

Bucktooth is a collective started by three friends (Emily, Emma, and Sarah) trying to make slow fashion a more inclusive space. Recently we got the chance to zoom with Emily and Emma (⅔ of this “anti-brand”) and talk with them about finding their own personal styles, sustainability, trend cycles, thrift tips and tricks, body image, TikTok, and more!  ~Justine

Talkaboutit is a withitgirl produced podcast with the goal of amplifying the voices, visions, and ideas of women in surf, skate, and art cultures. We seek to supplement mainstream media which, on the surface, has a tendency to be noninclusive, and corporate.
