Ann Taylor sets date for international debut with store in Toronto

New York -- Ann Taylor on Oct. 5 will open its first store outside of the United States, in the Toronto Eaton Centre. The company will open a second store in Canada, located in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, in November.



The Canadian stores will feature Ann Taylor’s updated store design, which is inspired by a stylish modern contemporary home. The residential influence is brought to life through white washed maple hardwood floors, luxurious crystal chandeliers, modern tufted furniture and sleek feminine fixtures inspired by the ultimate closet.



Wardrobing niches allow for strong fashion stories as well as a broad assortment of product. Special attention was also given to the design of the styling rooms, which feature unique floral wall coverings, luxe ottomans, plush carpeting, and a new proprietary lighting system with flattering back lit mirrors.
