Gaultier & Posen

This spring both Jean Paul Gaultier and Zac Posen are coming out with lines for Target's Go International division. I have to say, I am not too excited.

I preferred the days when Target sought out up and coming designers like Paul & Joe, Proenza Schouler, Alice Temperley, and most definitely, Erin Fetherston! And I loved the Tracy Feith collection from last summer (even though people bashed it.) I also miss the days when Isaac Mizrahi designed for Target. All such designs were easy, funky, definitely creative, affordable, and without much hoopla. It's like their cool factor when under the radar. The lines would simply come in an elegant fashion and those lucky enough to be around could nab one or two pieces and never spend more than $40 per piece.

Now Target is working with the big names. Alexander McQueen (R.I.P.) did a line last March, and last fall the company came out with the very disappointing Anna Sui collection where the pieces proved to be a bit junky, unoriginal and priced as high as $79.99!

So, yes I'll check out Gaultier and Posen this spring (Looking more forward to Posen,) but I am not getting my hopes up. I think right now though I'll take a trip to Target to see what's happening with the Merona collection.

Anna Sui for Target—Disappointing!

I didn't buy one piece, all of it seemed cheap, poorly made, and WAY over priced for Target! Dresses were marked from $60 to $80. Silly! For that price I'll go to a better boutique and get something more original and much more well made. I'm just sayin'.

I did pick up a couple cute tops at one of my fav cheapy shops Forever Twenty One or, as I lovingly call it, Forever Slutty One. Going to wear this number to a very Foxy Birthday dance party on Saturday! Oh I'll wear some sleek black pants as well, I'm not in my twenties afterall..
