The 3,500-square-foot Ann Taylor boutique that opened at Short Pump Town Center on Dec. 3 features whitewashed maple floors, crystal chandeliers, modern furniture and sleek feminine fixtures. An assortment of fashion books, jewelry vitrines and framed images add a decorative finishing touch, while a runway of mannequins down the store's center aisle showcases this season's fashions, which are inspired by Parisian vintage looks. Head designer Lisa Axelson describes the retailer's new aesthetic as "chic and stylish, with a more fashion-forward direction."
