The Cat Is Out of the Bag
If the elbow-to-elbow lines at the Jason Wu for Target party was any indication, the retailer’s latest high-low collaboration, set to hit shelves on February 5, will be tough to keep in stock. Wu and Target took over Skylight Soho last night and converted it into a whimsical Parisian street scene with a Ladurée macaron station, [...]
A Taste Of Missoni x Target
While it’s American culture and fashion of the sixties that we seem to be fixated on right now, the Missoni family used Italian films from the era—when the house got its first big global boom—as a reference point for its upcoming Target collaboration. In this video, debuting exclusively on Style.com, the heritage brand’s ambassador, Margherita Missoni, shares the backstory [...]
Comme Des Garçons Gets To Work, Marina Abramović Stages Her Own Demise, Mourning Becomes Accessories, And More…
Comme des Garçons is having a Rosie the Riveter moment right now, thanks to their new collaboration with French uniform maker Bleu de Paname. The collection, available for pre-order now, is just for women at the moment, but a menswear collaboration is reportedly on its way for Spring 2012. [Hint]Now you can get your vintage [...]
At Target, GO Comes Back
Hard to imagine it now, but there was a time before fast fashion/designer collaborations. (It was a mythical year called…2003.) The meeting of high-end designer and mass retailer has changed the way we shop, and none more than Target, whose designer collab series, GO International, celebrates its fifth year in 2011. To celebrate, it’s digging [...]
Mulberry Gets Gilded, Miranda Comes Clean, Chrissie Hynde Starts Fresh, And More…
When most people’s love affairs fizzle, they eat a half-gallon of Häagen-Dazs and call it a day. When Pretenders front woman Chrissie Hynde’s tryst with a much-younger musician cooled, she started a new band, recorded a new album (co-written by him!), and founded an animal-friendly, leather-free clothing line. That Häagen-Dazs isn’t looking so good now, [...]
Light On Target
It’s a bold move (or a bout of hyperbole) to call an event a Fashion Spectacular. But to describe how very spectacularly Target showed us all up (an overcrowded group that included Mary-Louise Parker, Nina Garcia, Penn Badgley, and Prabal Gurung, hemmed in by protesters from the retailer’s current gay rights controversy), let’s cut to [...]
Rocker Style Two Ways, Hot Teddies, And More…
Clothing fit for spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain? Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine joins the family business and founds a fashion line, 222, named for his lucky number. Apparently his brief obsession with Balenciaga, Ann Demeulemeester, and Margiela has given way to a preference for leather jackets, jeans, [...]
Lanvin Comes To Manhattan, Dolce & Gabbana Come To CNN, Lacroix Would Come To Target, And More…
At long last, Lanvin is opening its own Manhattan flagship. As usual, there’s no putting it better than Alber Elbaz: “It’s about time,” he said. Hear, hear. The new store bows on Madison and 68th Street in September. [WWD]Perhaps not as eagerly anticipated: Betty White’s clothing line. Can’t blame a (Golden) girl for riding the [...]
What Harlem Will Be Wearing This Summer
Target’s newest megastore opens its doors in Harlem later this month, so to celebrate its new home, the brand tapped a few designers to create limited-edition, Harlem-centric items, a portion of the profits from which will go to neighborhood causes of their choosing. Isabel and Ruben Toledo contributed swimwear and cover-ups (Isabel-designed and Ruben-illustrated), like [...]
Mulberry For Target, Jil On Jil, The Search For The Next Gisele, And More…
Target’s next conquest: Mulberry. The English label will create bags for the mass retailer, which will debut on October 10. [WWD]A quick word from Jil Sander (the woman, not the brand): Her signature style is “pure,” please, not “minimal,” which “can be very empty.” Noted! [Hint Mag]Tyra Banks made waves when she announced she’s re-signed [...]
