She succeeds Hal Bosworth, who retired in July 2007. Ms. Cohen will be based in Hingham, Massachusetts at the Company's headquarters' facility.

Both executives will report directly to Trudy F. Sullivan, Talbots president and Chief Executive Officer.

Commenting on the appointments, Ms. Sullivan said, "We are thrilled to welcome two strong and proven industry talents. Basha and Michael bring a merchandising and design expertise that can infuse a new energy into the Talbots brand and move our product and image forward in a way that will best resonate with our customer.

This is an exciting time for Talbots, as the addition of these two key executives further strengthens our management team and represents a significant step in getting our Talbots brand back on track."
