A new fall for Ann Taylor?

Bookmark and Share

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Here's a great article from Fashionweekdaily.com on Ann Taylor's runway show at Fashion Week in New York that shows the retailer is getting a little sassier, sexier and spicier thanks to new designer Lisa Axelson.

The looks (in stores now) were more fashion-forward, but didn't stray too terribly far from AT's traditional and safe roots. (Have to admit, the last few times I've stopped in I liked what I saw. On one trip even took a dozen pieces into the dressing room to try on before a saleswoman brought me what turned out to be the perfect LBD for fall.)

And, the show even had a little celebrity action in the front row, including Joy Bryant, Katherine McPhee and Gretchen Mol.
