Ann Taylor debuts collection by Kate Hudson

NEW YORK — Ann Taylor has partnered with celebrity Kate Hudson on an exclusive collection set to debut in Ann Taylor stores next week.

To mark the launch of the limited-edition collection, the retailer will host a White Party at Ann Taylor stores nationwide from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, where guests will be invited to shop the collection.

The first clients to purchase a piece from the capsule collection during the in-store event will receive an Ann Taylor gift card, courtesy of InStyle.

"I'm so excited about the capsule collection and working with Ann Taylor. It was such an honor when they asked me to come back for the campaign and to work on a collection inspired by my personal style. We have a great relationship — it's really fun. I love how Lisa Axelson, Ann Taylor’s creative director, picked up on my style and helped turned it into a very chic, incredibly wearable collection," said Hudson.

The collection includes ready-to-wear pieces with dress and skirts priced up to $128 and tops priced up to $78, as well as accessories with heels priced up to $158 and jewelry priced up to $58.

Ann Taylor operates 275 stores across the United States, as well as an e-commerce website at www.anntaylor.com.
