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.”

Target news bits: Zac Posen, Rodarte and Target To-Go
December 4, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Mark your calendars: word has it design wonder Zac Posen recently announced he’ll be the next to do a line for Target. We recently got all excited when we told you about his lower-priced line, Z Spoke by Zac Posen, and now Target too? We are so loving all of these high-end designers doing clothes for the masses (at prices for the masses). Look out for it on April 25, 2010 (runs through May 30). Prices are rumored to start at $15. Yes!
While we wait for Zac at Target, get ready to shop the Rodarte for Target line (in stores December 20). The piece we’re craving is the sequin ribcage dress ($49.99). How can you NOT love it? Check out a sneak peek of the rest of the Rodarte for Target collection here.
And if you’re in NYC and don’t feel like hopping a train to the ‘burbs to shop for holiday gifts at Target, don’t fret! Target To-Go, a three-day pop-up shop, is opening December 11. It’s a walk-up holiday shopping event and will stock the hottest mix of 50 holiday gifts - from fashion, beauty, toys to electronics and includes five pieces from the Rodarte collaboration! Walk up and pick up your gifts, already wrapped and ready To-Go!
Target To-Go will be open three days only, from Friday, December 11 through Sunday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets, at the High Line entrance.
At the opening on December 11, Target will present families in need, chosen by The Salvation Army, with a $100 Target GiftCard for a head start on their holiday shopping.
Carlos Falchi and Neiman Marcus limited-edition holiday totes
October 23, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Carlos Falchi is unstoppable. First, he teamed up with Target and HSN to launch lower-priced lines of handbags, apparel and accessories. Now he just collaborated with Neiman Marcus to create a series of hand-signed (that’s right – he’s autographing each one), limited-edition holiday tote bags.
This month, Neiman Marcus will release Carlos Falchi’s collection of metallic, python-embossed microfiber totes in festive metallic shades like black with silver, red with silver, and silver with gold. The collection is exclusive to the store. And each bag comes with a detachable matching zip pouch (perfect for your cosmetics and other little quick-grab items), and measures 17″H x 17″W x 5″D with 10″ shoulder handles.
Get one, or all three, for $220 each from the Neiman Marcus Christmas book.
Fashion’s Night Out #FNO09: Anna Sui for Target pop-up shop
September 11, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment

I recently reviewed the Anna Sui for Target collection so I knew what to expect upon entering the store. The store was cutely decorated in newspapers covering the walls with the headline “Anna Sui for Target”. It was laid out like a closet, with each Gossip Girl character the collection was based on, grouped in separate areas. Models lounged in chairs and sofas throughout. My favorites were the “Blair Waldorf” dresses. I tried on the blue belted mini dress but it was way too big. Unfortunately by the time I arrived, all of the selection had been picked over and only mostly extra large sizes were left. So I guess I’ll be picking up my pieces in Target when the collection rolls out in stores on September 13th!
In New York? Visit the store:
Anna Sui for Target pop-up store:
54 Crosby St.
Thursday, September 10th, 11 pm - 11 pm
Friday, September 11th, 11 pm - 11 pm
Saturday, September 12th, 11 pm - 8 pm

Anna Sui’s Target collection channels Gossip Girl
September 7, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · 2 Comments
Wanna dress like your favorite Gossip Girl character? Now’s your chance. Anna Sui is the next designer to collaborate with Target for its Designer Collaborations program, and her capsule collection was inspired by the fashion’s of Gossip Girl. Whether you prefer Blair Waldorf’s high-society style, Serena van der Woodsen’s everyday haute couture, Jenny Humphrey’s rocker chic or Vanessa Abrams‘ haute hippie style, you can get them all starting in Target stores and online from September 13th, timed to the third season debut of “Gossip Girl,” airing Monday, September 14 (9:00-10:00p.m. ET) on the CW, through October 17th.

From the designer:
“When I was in Asia last year, girls kept asking me about the different areas in New York City by referring to them as where the characters from “Gossip Girl” live,” said Anna Sui. “The show is such a phenomenonand so fashionable, so I really wanted to create a collection reflective of the four main characters.”

Which of the inspired looks will you be wearing?
