ANN TAYLOR LADIES (2) BUTTON LUXURY BLAZERAMAZING COLOR(2) BUTTON CLOSUREFULLY LINEDThrough its upscale brand Ann Taylor, women’s specialty retailer Ann offers a wide range of women’s professional attire, dresses, casual separates, tops, weekendwear, shoes, and accessories. Unlike its bigger counterparts such as Gap Inc. and Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor is conservative in advertising and promotions. It’s a relatively expensive brand and has a much sleeker product line as compared to other specialty retailers. Ann Taylor has a specific target market of affluent female buyers in the age group of 25-50 years, which justifies its small presence (in terms of stores) in the U.S.The reality of the fashion market is that very respectable, though not true 'luxury' brands like Talbots, Liz Claiborne, and Ann Taylor are delivering an investment in a fashion that is most highly regarded by affluent customers loyal to these brands.”
