While Fall 2011 collections and campaigns have just recently been released, holiday collection previews are also starting to pour in, like the Ann Taylor Holiday 2011 preview. The brand, who is fronted by A-list actress Katie Holmes, has leaked photos of their Holiday collection and it definitely does not disappoint.
The collection debuted at an editor preview at the Garden Room of the Mondrian Soho hotel and the line is made up of chic separates that are made for the modern, working woman. Head designer Lisa Axelson created the collection with Paris in mind. In the fashion world, whenever a designer cites Paris as his or her source of information, you can assume the collection will be flawless.
Ann Taylor is also releasing a more formal line called Metropolitan Chic, which is full of cocktail dresses and black-tie attire.
