It gives you the chance to see how clothes will look on real bodies who do something besides strut down the runway with a dead-eyed look!

Kate Hudsons second Ann Taylor campaign went live this morning. The actress shows off a colorful selection of the brands increasingly on trend clothes, so we hopped on the phone with Hudson to talk fashion, babies and what sounds like a burgeoning interest in musicals.
