Target has done an amazing job making fashion accessible to us normal chicks. Many designers, including Alice Temperley, Erin Fetherstone, and the beloved Alexander McQueen have created EXTREMELY collectible lines, and exposed these designers to the everyday woman.
NEW NEWS! You may have already heard...BUT: Target is going to be teaming up with Neiman Marcus to carry affordable lines from 24 of the CFDA's (Council of Fashion Designers of America) top designers!! This means fashion lines from:
DIANE VON FURSTENBURG! MARC JACOBS!! TORY BURCH!! MARCHESA!! RAG & BONE!!
The lines will include more than 50 pieces ranging from Women's, Men's, and children's fashion, and home and pet products. $1 million in sales will be donated to the CFDA to help foster young and upcoming designers. The prices will range from $15.99-$499.99. Can we say, "Target-please please please make sure your server doesn't crash when these go on sale!!!!"
That reminds me of the most notorious of Target collabs: the irresistible Missoni.
sighhhhhh....if only I had been in line at 6:30am with the rest of the ladies who rushed into my local Target, literally heaving entire racks of clothing, shoes, hats, bedding, kitchen accessories, pet accessories, cosmetic goodies and MORE into their carts, only to immediately (and brilliantly) place them on ebay for three times the price??
Target generated buzz for months, decorating New York City Fashion Week with bill boards, and placing 10 page spreads in every relevant magazine. The collection was amaze. I myself scored a gorgeous cardigan on eBay for $60, and it's worth every hot little penny!!!
Here's one of my fashion idols, Margherita Missoni, in the cardigan I scored!!!
