ANN TAYLOR: SEE NOW, WEAR NOW




Vanessa Williams

The necklace I got in my goodie bag

Back in September I attended the Ann Taylor “See Now, Wear Now” show. What an amazing come-back. Ann Taylor, once known for classic business suites has been slowly sliding down the ranks of popular places to shop over the last decade. With the hiring of a new designer, Lisa Axelson, Ann Taylor has made an amazing turn around. Fun bobbles, bangles and pom-poms, adorned playful dresses. Grays and blacks were paired with vivid shades of purple and neon yellow to add a more modern touch. I actually ended up getting a seat next to the current head of marketing and she walked me through the entire collection as the models passed by - a truly amazing experience.
