Biography
Then she got her fashion start at Vogue, hired personally by Polly Mellen to be her assistant. Mashburn was also a fashion editor at Glamour, and a stylist at J. She and her husband launched his menswear store in 2007, and by 2010 she opened her own shops, which are next door to Sid's locations. Under the banner "Why We Love It," Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand goop calls Ann Mashburn clothing "well-made classics," and the Mashburns "a powerhouse sartorial couple." Leighton Rowell and Virginia Prescott presented the Mashburn name as "synonymous with style." Mary Logan Bikoff asserted in Atlanta magazine that the Mashburns have an "empire" defined by "effortless cool." The New York Times put their stores on its list of 50 Best Clothing Stores in America. She was featured alongside her husband in Graydon Carter's weekly Air Mail, where the editors dubbed Sid, and by extension Ann since they have been partners from the start, as "Georgia's Ralph Lauren."
Ann Mashburn studied at Leeds School of Business. Employment is recorded with Vogue, Glamour and J.Crew.
