Kate Hudson to design capsule collection for Ann Taylor

Perky blonde Hollywood actress Kate Hudson will once again front the brand's spring summer 2013 campaign. This time, however, Hudson will be wearing her own designs.

Inspired by red carpet style, the star's capsule collection will feature bright colors, a new take on the little black dress while remaining true to Ann Taylor's consistency, says Lisa Axelson, creative director of the brand, who worked with Hudson on the line.

What does the brand ambassador have to say about her designs? "I love the versatility in this collection," she told ELLE Thursday morning.

The line will hit Ann Taylor stores in May. [More from ELLE]
