Anne T. Hill (November 24, 1916 – March 8, 1999) was a fashion designer and yoga teacher.Hill was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She graduated from Commercial High School in 1933, attended the University of Georgia, and worked as a stenographer before moving to Los Angeles in 1937.Hill designed dresses, predominantly cotton, for her own line, Taffy, from 1937 until March 1958. As women’s fashions took up a larger budget slice, the popularity of her dresses grew. They were featured as “outstanding” in a Palm Springs Tennis Club fashion luncheon in 1948.Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar carried full page ads for Taffy fashions during the 1950s,and covered Taffy fashions editorially. “There is nothing so feminine and romantic as a full skirt, pretty, with petticoats underneath,” Hill told Women’s Wear Daily. "The very feminine dresses almost all have bouffant skirts built over their own petticoats," wrote Eugenia Trinkle, Fashion Writer for the Star Telegram.Bergdorf Goodman, Garfinckel's, and Jacobson's carried Taffy fashions. On October 8, 1957, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted registration of the trademark "Taffy's of California".
