A Diva State of Mind

The designer/retailer collaborations continue in 2014. Last year, after the successful 3.1 Philip Lim for Target collection, Target announced that it would be teaming up with Peter Pilotto for a collection in early 2014.

Peter Pilotto is known for prints and this collection does not disappoint. It features dresses, skirts, crop tops, swimsuits and more. Most pieces retail for under $80 and the collection will be featured at most Target stores and Net-a-Porter online.

Here are a few of the looks from the lookbook:

The collection hits stores February 9th. Preview the entire lookbook on Fashionista. I love the prints!!

I am here for this!!! Target is teaming up with Phillip Lim to create a 100 piece collection that will hit stores September 15th in-stores and online. The fall collection will be for both men and women and will include apparel, bags, shoes and travel accessories. Prices will range from $19.99 to $299.99 for apparel and $19.99 to $59.99 for accessories.

I’m always curious how these collaborations come together. According to Lim:

“It was a courtship for five years, and what was exciting to me this time around is that they gave me the opportunity to do lifestyle instead of a capsule collection of dresses or blouses and something that might be diffused. It was the chance to really create a new concept of wardrobe and accessories to address the modern day citizen.”

I really hope the Target stores in the DMV provide a great selection of the collection. The Prabal Gurung for Target 2013 options in store were limited and the best pieces sold out online in less than 24 hours. I may just have to stay up online on Sunday, September 15th to make sure I get my hands on a fabulous 3.1 Phillip Lim piece!!

How exciting is this??? Neiman Marcus and Target have teamed up to bring shoppers clothing and accessories from 24 designers including Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, Tory Burch, DVF, Marchesa and more! The collection hits both Target and Neiman Marcus stores on Saturday, December 1, 2012.   Y’all thought H&M stores went crazy during collaborations; I can only image what Target stores are going to look like after these designers pieces hit stores.

Check out the commericial that launched this week!

Will you be visiting your local Neiman Marcus and/or Target to get your hands on some designer pieces??

With a less than a month to go until the Jason Wu for Target collection is launched, pictures from the look book are FINALLY available for all to view.  The collection is made up of mostly dresses and accessories with a few tops and a pair of shorts thrown in the mix. Here are some of my favorites:

Now this is one collaboration I will be standing in line for in February!! Known for designing Mrs. Obama’s inaugural gown, designer Jason Wu is teaming up with Target for a limited collection. The Jason Wu for Target collection will be available in stores February 5, 2012 through March 6, 2012.  The collection will feature womenswear, handbags and scarves ranging from $19.99 to $59.99. Talk about affordable!

“My collection for Target embodies my signature aesthetic of feminine sophistication, with a mischievous nod to the 1960s,” Wu says.  “I’ve had an incredible experience partnering with Target and I am looking forward to bringing these affordable designs to women across the country.”

I, like so many others, thought Wu’s inaugural gown was gorgeous. However, I fell in love this his designs when I watched his Fall 2011 Collection runway show at New York Fashion Week in March. His pieces are so chic!!   I CAN NOT WAIT for this collaboration.

The high end designer/mainstream retailer collaboration has become extremely popular and it continues this Fall between Missoni and Target.  On September 13, Target will launch the Missoni for Target Collection.  The collection will feature 400 pieces for men, women and children including dresses, jackets, swimsuits, scarves, blankets, laptop cases and a bike!

Prices range between $7.99 to $199.99, meaning there is something for everyone. Check out a sneak peak at the collection below:

Designer collaborations are becoming very popular these days. One of the most memorable collaborations this year was the Lanvin for H&M Collection. That collection boosted H&M sales by 8%!!
 
With that type of success, I can understand why mainstream retailers and designers are joining forces. The next duo to release a collection is William Rast and Target. That’s right, William Rast, the clothing line started by Justin Target Timberlake and Trace Ayala in 2005, is teaming up with Target for an exclusive collection that will debut in Target stores December 19th through January 22, 2011; just in time for the holidays. Prices range from $17 to $200.
 
The collection is inspired by classic American style, featuring jeans, tees, button ups and a gorgeous camel leather jacket I think needs to be added to my wardrobe; I love the color!! 

Below are pictures from the lookbook; you can expect to see these items in stores this weekend!   
 

Will you be shopping at Target to get your hands on the new William Rast Collection? After all, I’m sure many of you will have Target gift cards you’ll need to use after December 25th!

I’m not a huge fan of kitten heels (although I own one pair and don’t really like them) but they are definitely making a comeback. I prefer 4+ inches or flats, but if you can’t stand to walk around in heels and you’re tired of wearing flats all the time, you can be just as fashionable in kitten heels.

In the past, these heels came across as boring and “old,” but these days there are plenty of styles that are just as fashionable and fun as stilettos. Numerous retailers sell kitten heels including Nine West, ASOS, Nordstrom, and Target.
