Dec. 20: You Have A Date With Target

Dahlings, the fashion blogs have been a flutter about Rodarte,  brand of designer clothing and accessories coming to Target on December 20th as part of the  GO International limited edition high end designer collection. Rodarte has been seen on celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and Keira Knightley and is known for their  avant-garde looks.  Everyone has been trying to get good look of the much anticipated collection which promises to be feminine yet modern with a rich mix of patterns and embellishments such as sequins, bows, and faux fur.  The collection features clothing with lace and tulle on it, tons of leopard print, and a selection of dresses, jackets, and tights.

 Of course since it's going to be at Target, the prices are to die for Dahlings, ranging from $9.99 for knee-highs to a $79.99 leopard-print jacket; a far cry from the $3,000 knits in their Ready-to-Wear collection. But Target promises that, while the sky-high price tag may be missing from the line, the immaculate attention to detail that Rodarte have become renowned for will not. A spokesman said, “It’s very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering.” Rodarte will launch the line online and in stores nationwide and will run until February 6th so make sure you make a stop at your local Target before then. I wasn't impressed with the Anna Sui collection which was inspired by my favorite guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl, so I really hope this one delivers.

Guess who else is has penned a deal with Target? Jean Paul Gaultier. Gaultier first gained mainstream acceptance after working with Madonna, designing the iconic cone shaped bra, a silhouette that appeared in many of his designs for the Spring 2010 collection. No word yet on what the line will look like but you know I will keep you in the know once the pics have leaked. The line will launch online and in 250 retail outlets nationwide on March 7 and will remain on sale until April 11.

Final Word: Don't we love Target?? I've got my eye on the  little jean jacket with the braided detail. Perfect for Spring.
