John Derian, Mulberry and Tucker for Target - all coming to Gilt!
August 17, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 6 Comments
Yes, you read right! For one day only, you can preview and shop upcoming Target collections on Gilt!
Living in New York, I always have the chance to shop Target’s designer collabos before they hit stores. But now Gilt is giving everyone the chance to shop three designer capsule collections: John Derian for Target, Mulberry for Target and Tucker for Target - all before their official store releases. Get early access to flirty dresses and tops from Tucker (by Gaby Basora), fab handbags from Mulberry and haute home goods by John Derian. We’re particularly excited for the Mulberry collaboration - fingers crossed for Mulberry Bayswater and Mabel styles.
On Friday, August 20 at noon ET, Gilt is offering an exclusive advance look at several pieces from each collection. Click here to sign up for Gilt and be sure to stop back here and let us know what you picked up!

More luxury for less – Mulberry to design handbags for Target
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment

Next on the low-priced luxury bus is Mulberry. The British brand known for bags like the Bayswater, Mabel, Mitzy and Alexa, just announced its designer collaboration with Target. In the works is a Mulberry-Target handbag line, in most Target stores and on Target.com starting October 10 through December 24.
Wonder what it will look like? We’re thinking some satchels, hobos, and maybe a clutch or two, plus a bit of faux snakeskin and of course, all in PVC. And we can’t wait to see the results.
Erin Fetherston joins Juicy Couture
April 21, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Has it really been ten years since Juicy Couture launched its iconic velour tracksuit? To mark the occasion (unofficially), the brand (now owned by Liz Claiborne) has hired Erin Fetherston as a consultant and guest designer. Fetherston is no stranger to guest-designing. She was one of the original ‘Go’ collection designers for Target. She was brought on to refresh and modernize the brand and we can’t wait to see her Juicy spin. It’s said that a large part of her job will be a “re-imagining of the Juicy tracksuit”. We’re fans of Fetherston’s signature flirty frocks so this collaboration should get interesting.
WWD reported that Fetherston will create a few limited-edition pieces for Juicy’s holiday 2010 collection, along with a full collection throughout 2011. She will continue to design for her own line as well.
Juicy Couture co-founders and co-designers, Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy, left the brand earlier this year.
Budget covet: Cynthia Vincent shoes and Eugenia Kim hats for Target
April 2, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment

If Target and H&M keep these designer collaborations coming, we’ll never have to shop full price again! Just as Target’s Jean Paul Gaultier and Liberty of London collaborations are coming to a close, next on tap is designer Cynthia Vincent, of Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent fame. On April 18, get ready to shop Cynthia Vincent shoes, specially made for Target. And these are no cheapies. The collection mirrors Vincent’s current collection. Take the super haute Cynthia Vincent Women’s Luella Zip Front Gladiator Wedge heels. In case you didn’t really want to shell out $415 for it – you’re in luck! Vincent’s collection for Target features a similar (dare I say cuter?) wedge in black, brown and mustard yellow, complete with studs and priced at a mere $29.99. Other shoes include multicolored Ikat-printed wedges and ballet flats, strappy sandals and flat, studded thong gladiator sandals in multiple colors. Make sure to shop the fabulous collection in stores on April 18. And let us know what you buy!
Bonus buy: Eugenia Kim’s Havana, Cuba-inspired hats by for Target are in stores the same day! Grab a chic cloche, fedora, sun-hat, bucket hat, newsboy and pillbox hat to go with your new shoes! Prices range from $14.99-$19.99

Jean Paul Gaultier rocks the house with ‘Designer Collaborations’ collection at Target
February 23, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
If you’ve had enough of the winter (we’re talking to you snowstorms), you’re probably already checking out spring fashions and deciding what to buy. Well so are we! And one of the must-buys on our list is a few pieces from the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection. The collection launches March 7, as part of Target’s ‘Designer Collaborations’ series. Gaultier is the third designer in the series, which features “well-established designers who draw inspiration from a collaborative partner, muse or creative element.”

Since we just couldn’t wait to see it in stores, so we stole a peek at the looks from Nitrolicious (via Refinery 29) and we likey! So, it’s not the most cohesive collection (Tim, Heidi, Nina and Michael might not approve) but still, the individual items are worth a trip to Target. We spy lovely floral print dresses and skirts, some covetable spring trench coats, bombers and moto jackets (especially loving the two-tone black jacket with red underside flaps!), tattoo print leggings, graphic tees with side ties, Breton-inspired striped tops, bathing suits, solid cardigans, gingham bustiers – you name it! As Tim Gunn would say, there’s a whole lotta look here but at least there’s something for everyone!

From JPG:
“My collection with Target pays homage to the wide range of personalities that make up the diverse styles of American women. From ingénue to rock ‘n roll, this collection celebrates women of all ages and a host of distinctive, iconic American styles.”
