FEATURES: 78% COTTON FULLY LINED MADE IN MALAYSIA Here’s a detailed history of Ann Taylor and its more approachable sister brand, LOFT, outlining how they evolved into two major pillars of American women’s fashion: Founded in 1954 by Richard Liebeskind in New Haven, Connecticut. The name “Ann Taylor” was inspired by a best‑selling dress in his father’s shop—Ann conveyed a New England feel while Taylor suggested tailoring and polish. Originally opened as Ann Taylor Stores, focusing on polished, professional apparel for working women. Became Ann Inc. in 2011, reflecting its growth into a multi-brand company. 👗 LOFT: A More Casual Sister Brand LOFT launched in 1998 as Ann Taylor Loft, aimed at a younger demographic with more relaxed, wearable styles. The name comes from their original New York City office loft location. Over time, LOFT developed its own identity, emphasizing smart-casual wardrobe staples at a moderate price point. Ann Taylor is the legacy core: refined, tailored, higher-end apparel. LOFT emerged as its approachable everyday sister brand—relaxed, lifestyle-oriented, trend-savvy.
