If you're a cheating woman and you need to know what to wear this summer to fit in with your floozy peers, you're in luck. Ashley Madison, the extramarital dating site, recently conducted a study exploring the relationship between fashion and female philanderers. 52,390 cheating women (presumably Ashley Madison members) responded to the survey, and the results are pretty fascinating--and also somewhat unexpected.

Ann Taylor has been working hard to re-vamp its image. Its reputation as a store for moms and conservative "career women" has been a tough one to ov

It seems the honeymoon between the fashion industry and Tumblr is officially over. The first rumblings of a fall out came, as Mashable reported last night, from Jessica Coghan, director of digital marketing at Starworks Group, who voiced complaints about the platform--namely that Tumblr does not have an analytics board, making it hard for brands to measure their presence, and that the platform's NYFW sponsorship proposals were unreasonably pricey. Since then the floodgates have opened, with all sorts of people coming out of the woodwork to slam Tumblr--from Julie Fredrickson, who manages digital and social media at Ann Taylor and Raman Kia, director of digital and social media marketing at Starworks, to Tony King, creative director of digital agency King & Partners. Like Coghan, these industry players complained about Tumblr's lack of analytics, absurd sponsorship price points and many of them also went on to personally call out Tumblr's Fashion Director, Rich Tong.

Ann Taylor's going Ivy League. The wear-to-work retailer is looking to lure in clients before they even enter the workforce. But they're not targeting just any college kid preparing to go on job interviews--they're looking to cast five students from Columbia University to model for their online lookbook, which, according to a release, will be "a trusted resource that will provide female college/graduate students with fashion advice and career inspiration across a variety of different industries." This latest announcement fits with Ann Taylor's recent efforts to revive and freshen up the brand: they just signed Katie Holmes as the face of the brand and have been putting out strong J.Crew-esque collections with particularly great accessories for the past few seasons. So it follows that they're targeting a younger clientele.

When Ann Taylor unveiled its collection designed by last year's CFDA Fashion Fund nominees, we oohed and awed. And pouted. Because despite the fact that we would have bought the entire capsule--and we mean that--it was not produced. Today, we received good news that the samples--created by Joseph Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, Billy Reid, and Loden Dager, to name a few--are now up for auction on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the CFDA. Unfortunately, unless you're a size zero--and a Karlie Kloss zero at that--the only options are to bid on jewelry and accessories by Eddie Borgo and Pamela Love. Oh, and Robert Geller's outfit, which is a much more reasonable size 4. While we admit that those are pretty good options, we still wish Ann Taylor would have produced a proper collection with these guys. Mostly because I want the Loden Dager outfit real bad.

Ann Taylor continues their revamp efforts (ok, sometimes we've called it their J.Crew-ification) with today's announcement that Katie Holmes will be

When designers are selected as finalists for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, they compete in a set of challenges to win the grand prize--$300K and mentorship for the year--which this year went to Billy Reid. One of these challenges was presented by Ann Taylor. The 10 finalists--Joseph Altuzarra, Billy Reid, Christian Cota, Eddie Borgo, Gregory Parkinson, Oliver Helden and Paul Marlow of Loden Dager, Moss Lipow, Pamela Love, Prabal Gurung and Robert Geller--were each given a box of images from Ann Taylor campaigns from the '50s, when the brand launched, through to today, and asked to create a look that would "rejuvenate, redefine and modernize the concept of wear-to-work dressing and set the next major career style trend." The results? Pretty amazing. Last night, to celebrate the opening of their new concept store on 5th Ave. and 21st St., Ann Taylor revealed all the challenge looks. Winner Billy Reid created a look that paired high-waisted houndstooth-print pants with suspenders and a magic trench coat--the lining comes out and turns into a bubble hemmed shift dress. Pamela Love created a leather bag with a horn handle and a matching necklace and cuff. The color combination of Loden Dager's aqua blazer and blush pants was spot on. You can check out the looks modeled by the incomparable Karlie Kloss below.
