Rebecca Taylor Keeps It Classic With Elton John and the Stones

Rebecca Taylor's cool, ultra-feminine collections are rooted in classically good taste—as are her musical preferences, as it turns out. This summer, the designer is jamming to golden oldies from Elton John and timeless tracks from the Stones.

"Tiny Dancer," Elton John - "This is on total rotation. Makes me feel super creative."

"Dancing on My Own," Robyn - "Puts me in the mood to dance."

"Heroes," David Bowie - "Never get tired of this one. Never get tired of any Mr. B."

"Tequila Sunrise," The Eagles - "Whenever I hear a street performer playing this, I think of my dad. He’s a huge Eagles fan."

 "Satisfaction," The Rolling Stones - "No list is complete without a Stones track. How to pick? This one always makes a car trip seem shorter!"
