The 16-year-old actress-and-singer ' who fronts her own band The Pretty Reckless ' believes she was being shaped as a person through the clothes that were being chosen for her and she had to reclaim her wardrobe to be able to show her true personality.
Taylor ' who is the face of Madonna's fashion line Material Girl - said: ' kind of had a freak-out at some point because you know I was getting moulded into this thing that wasn't who I am, and it was fitting into the world that will make you popular.
' think firing my stylists has allowed me to be more free, and I now dress myself."
Taylor ' who plays Jenny Humphrey in 'Gossip Girl' ' now likes to wear a lot of leather because it is associated with rebellion.
