Target news bits: Zac Posen, Rodarte and Target To-Go

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.

Zac Posen to design for the girl on the street: introducing Z Spoke

Don’t you just love when designers launch lines for the everyday woman? We do. We’ve long been fans of Zac Posen but stuck to shopping only his accessories since his evening dresses reached exorbitant price levels. We’re happy to learn that Zac, according to Women’s Wear Daily, is launching a new lower-priced collection for spring called Z Spoke. The contemporary sportswear line which includes separates such as knits, cotton shirts, blazers and pleated khaki shorts will be exclusively sold through Saks Fifth Avenue, in 17 stores and online at Saks.com.

Z Spoke is said to represent Zac’s “new minimalist and utilitarian mind-set with a strong sportswear sensibility”. While Zac Posen’s high-end collection ranges from $900 to $12,000, and custom pieces reaching upwards of $20,000, the Z Spoke range will retail from $78 to $675 and includes everything from a basic cotton T-shirt to Posen’s signature knit dresses.

What do you think of the collection? Will you be buying Z Spoke?

Get up close and personal with the real ‘devil in Prada’ - Anna Wintour in “The September Issue”

It was a veritable “who’s who in fashion design” last night at the premiere of “The September Issue“. The documentary, directed by R.J. Cutler, is named after the most highly coveted and biggest (weighs over 4 pounds!) annual issue, the September issue of Vogue magazine.

Cutler delves into the work life of one of the most enigmatic fashion editors ever, Anna Wintour, and Creative director Grace Coddington, and gives us fashionistas an exclusive inside look at the industry’s proclaimed ‘bible’.

Wintour was quoted as saying: “Well, it’s very much the inside workings of the magazine - how we put an issue together, the hard work that it takes, the creativity, you know, the heartache and the successes. I think the September issue is really a benchmark for the industry so to see how it’s put together is obviously for us very special and we hope for the viewers.”

“R.J. is very discreet,” Wintour continued. “You know, obviously at the beginning we were all a little apprehensive but he was with us for nine months so at the end of it he was part of the team.”

The film opens in theaters August 28th in New York, September 11th in Los Angeles and other select cities TBD.

Check out the red carpet ‘fashion show’ starring your favorite designers.
Ed: I wonder if when asked “Who are you wearing”, was the response “Me”?
