The five designs, which will hit stores on April 10, are named for their ‘sartorial spirit’ including The Romantic and Camera Ready.

Each one is meant to appeal to a wide variety of women, providing ‘something for every occasion and everyone,’ Ms Hudson told WWD.

I like Ann Taylor, but I wouldn't buy any of these designs. She's got a boxy shape and that's not my body type, thankfully.

She stated that the dresses were designed for how "we all live". Can she explain who "we" are? Maybe she's referring to her circle of friends, but she has to be careful in making such a broad statement because "we" all don't live like that.

I agree, that tagline is stupid..that and they are for everyone. They are body con for sure, it is clearly not for everyone. I know they are easily laundered and so forth..is that it?

A little background on Ms. Kate and this latest fashion initiative. She is working in collaboration with Anne Taylor. So no one had to "pick up" the line so to speak. Kate did have creative input into the actual designs and it stems from her past foray as a model for them. Apparently she wanted to represent clothes at a price point that is realistic for most women. She gave up a lucrative contract with LVMH to do this and another approachable price point line based in Europe. Kate made a comment some time ago that she can't even afford to dress like Kate Hudson, her red carpet looks are borrowed. I admire that candor. In response to the previous poster that so rudely pointed out that "she hasn't even been to college", I say so what? Apparently you have and it didn't teach you grace or manners. Even so..she won an Academy Award at 19, so I'm pretty sure her time was well spent. Her looks are lovely, she's never professed to be a knockout, why all the viscerally negative comments?

She would've never had the career she does without her parents. She grew up privileged. Comparatively it's been pretty smooth sailing for this one. Mediocre
