December 18th // 2 Comments

Finally the waiting is over! The Rodarte for Target collection will only be in stores from this Sunday, December 20th through January 31st, so I will definitely be carving out some last minute shopping time this weekend before everything gets snatched up.

The Gossip Line – Betsey Johnson

December 22nd // Comment Here

I have a juicy bit of fashion gossip via Perezhilton.com! The latest buzz on the runway is that ultra-famous designer, Betsey Johnson, may be teaming up with H&M or Target to create a recession-friendly diffussion line!

According to Betsey Johnson CEO Chantal Bacon, “Ms. Johnson is planning a limited-edition design collaboration with a retailer that will likely launch in the fall.” (She declined to offer specifics on the collaboration.) I’m hoping she chooses Target, as I love all of their designer collaboration lines. I think Betsey’s funky, flirty dresses, adorable handbags, and wild patterns would be a fantastic addition to the bunch.

Love,

Haute Buys- Thakoon For Target

December 8th // 1 Comment
I have some more wonderful news about Target! Thai designer, Thakoon Panichgul has created a striking new line for Target, consisting of airy and feminine dresses and tops in batik and floral prints. The line is available at Target stores as part of this December’s Go! International collection.

More after the jump…


Thakoon is a relatively new designer in the world of fashion, but has already designed pieces for such high-profile fashionistas as Michelle Obama and Sarah Jessica Parker.

You won’t be able to wear many of these pieces in December–unless, of course; you live in sunny Miami like I do ;)–but it’s a great way to get a head start on your spring shopping.

Love,
Loren

Trends & News: High Fashion Just Got More Affordable!

November 12th // Comment Here

Fashion Cents readers, rejoice! Target has just announced a brand new initiative which will bring the designs of top, established fashion designers to the price-conscious, mass market. The new program is called Designer Collaborations, and it is set to debut in March 2009.

I am so super-excited about this because the first designer who has jumped on board with the new program is none other than a VERY well-respected, designer-to-the-stars: the one-and-only, Alexander McQueen!

McQueen was chief designer for Givenchy and served as creative director at Gucci before branching out on his own. He is known for his outrageous catwalk designs, and has developed a loyal fan-following among the likes of Gwenyth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sarah-Jessica famously wore this green dress, designed by Alexander McQueen, to the Sex and The City movie premiere back in May. Sarah-Jessica Parker in Alexander McQueen

While full details of the Target line are yet to come, they have revealed that the line will feature items with the designer’s signature rock ‘n’ roll edge, including tattoo-print fabrics and studs.

I love the fact that Target has become a real destination for the fashion centsible. I’m still in love with their ‘Go International’ concept/collections, and I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us!

Lots of Love,
Loren
