it's pronounced targée


Nylon magazine has a first look at the new Jonathan Saunders collection for Target. Following Richard Chai's stab at fashion for the masses, Saunders' capsule collection remains faithful to the vivid color palette and waist-defining silhouettes of his recent resort '09 collection. While the designer's liberal use of prints is a bit heavy-handed for my own personal taste, I'm loving the collection's ribbon-like, obi-inspired belts: such a simple, elegant means of creating contrast and a beautiful, feminine silhouette.

For those of you questioning the quality of Target's capsule collection, I own an awesome floral chiffon dress designed by the in-house GO International team. I always get a million compliments whenever I wear it, and no one's the wiser. But, with high-end fashion at these prices, there's bound to be some losers among the winners, so choose carefully. The collection will debut online and in Target stores in October.
