[3] [4] She graduated in 1983 with a degree in finance from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado, Boulder. [5] Then she got her fashion start at Vogue magazine, hired by Polly Mellen. [1] She was also a fashion editor at Glamour, and was a stylist at J. Crew. [3] She began working with her husband in 2007, and by 2010 had opened her own shops, which are usually next door to Sid's menswear stores.

Under the banner "Why We Love It," Gwyneth Paltrow's company Goop calls Ann Mashburn clothing "well-made classics," and the Mashburns "a powerhouse sartorial couple." [6] Leighton Rowell and Virginia Prescott presented the Mashburn name as "synonymous with style." [7] Mary Logan Bikoff asserted in Atlanta magazine that the Mashburns have an "empire" defined by "effortless cool." [8] The New York Times put their stores on its list of 50 Best Clothing Stores in America. [9] She was featured alongside her husband in Graydon Carter's Air Mail, where the editors dubbed Sid Masburn, and by extension Ann, as "Georgia's Ralph Lauren." [10]
