The Talbots shopper of the 1990s looks more like Hillary Rodham Clinton than Barbara Bush. At least that’s one implication of a $13 million makeover unveiled last week by the Hingham, Mass.-based retail and catalog company.

The integrated campaign, created by Arnold Communications in Boston, includes magazine and newspaper ads, in-store events and a redesigned fall catalog.
