According to Vogue.com, the largest Target-Designer collaboration EVER is set to hit stores in September. The news broke today that Missoni, who I just so happen to be wearing today, what a coincidence, has created over 400 pieces for the nationwide retailer. I simply cannot wait to see the men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel, as well as the designs for home goods. I have always wanted Missoni sheets!

Dying of excitement,

Target shoppers rejoice! You can finally stop kicking yourself for not picking up that beautiful pink Zac Posen wrap dress last year, or that Behnaz Sarafpour lace dress from 2006. For the 5^th anniversary of the GO International program, Target is re-releasing some of the best dresses from the Designer Collaborations of the past 5 years. Talk about an phenomenal anniversary present! The re-release starts March 13^th both in stores and online. 

But wait, what about those amazing designers that are not being featured in the re-release? The biggest hole has got to be Alexander McQueen; maybe they couldn’t get the licensing to sell McQ anymore, who knows, but it’s a disappointment nonetheless. Other big misses were: Jean Paul Gaultier and Anna Sui. So, Target big wigs, if you’re reading this, I hope it’s not too late to add these looks to the line-up.   

1)   Zigzag print dress – Alexander McQueen

2)   Red, white and black off the shoulder dress – Anna Sui

3)   Yellow parachute halter dress – Jean Paul Gaultier

4)   Studded Vest and Shirtdress - Alexander McQueen
