If celebrities were described by their fashion sense then Kate Hudson would be LA cool. And those are the exact words we would use to describe Hudson’s new capsule collection for Ann Taylor. That’s right; if you’ve been looking to embody Hudson’s free-spirited beachy style, look no more. The exclusive summer 2013 collection will feature a selection of chic white pieces and rose-gold accessories all inspired by Hudson’s love for fashion.

The easy-breezy collection will be available at Ann Taylor stores nationwide on Wednesday, May 22nd and will feature a selection of dresses, skirts, tops and accessories. Sophisticated retailer Ann Taylor has expressed their love for Hudson before, making her the face of their Spring 2012 campaign. “I’m so excited about the capsule collection and working with Ann Taylor”, Hudson said in a press release. “It was such an honor when they asked me to come back for the campaign and to work on a collection inspired by my personal style.” 

Hudson, who is known for her stunning red carpet ensembles, describes the new collection as very chic and incredibly wearable. With pieces priced from $78-$128, footwear at $158 and accessories priced up to $58, there’s sure to be something for everyone. To celebrate the collaboration, which marks the actress’ first foray into fashion, Ann Taylor will host a White themed Party at Ann Taylor stores nationwide on Wednesday, May 22nd from 6pm to 8pm.

The change from anti-fashion to fashion because of the influence of western capitalist civilization can be best seen in eastern Indonesia. The ikat textiles of the Ngada area of eastern Indonesia are changing because of modernization and development happening in that area. Traditionally in the Ngada area there was no idea similar to that of the Western idea of fashion. But anti-fashion in the form of traditional textiles and ways to adorn oneself were widely popular. Textiles in Indonesia have played many roles for the local people. Textiles defined a person’s rank and status and indicated being part of the ruling class. People expressed their ethnic identity and social hierarchy through textiles in Indonesia. The ikat textiles were also bartered for food by some people of Indonesia thus being considered economic goods. Textiles took on many different forms in the social custom and religion of the Indonesian people. Textiles were also a way to communicate religious messages as some motifs had spiritual religious meanings according to the local culture.
