We are the directors of our own stories
Photographer Mikael Jansson shot Hudson in Hollywood. On set, Kate was the director of her own style story, wearing her favorite pieces from the Spring 2014 collection. "I love the Spring collection.  It really captures my life as a working mom and how we all balance those parts of our lives," said Hudson.

In addition to being the face of the campaign, Hudson serves on the Advisory Council for ANN INC.'s ANNpower Vital Voices Initiative, a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment to Action that provides leadership training and mentoring to young women. In September 2013, Kate Hudson, Kay Krill, ANN INC.'s President and CEO, and Monica Mishra, a 2012 ANNpower Grantee spoke at the CGI Annual Meeting in New York City.

We are inspired by great design
Ann Taylor's campaign has been paired with powerful lines that capture the experiences of today's multitasking women. The "We" in every campaign tagline is the unifying element between Ann Taylor, a brand dedicated to women, and the women who live, work and play in Ann Taylor every day leading busy, brilliant lives.
