In 2006, Target started the high-low designer collaboration craze with designer Proenza Schouler. Since, other fast fashion chains followed. As in intern at Conde Nast, I couldn't take two steps without seeing girls in the famed low price version of the purple bustier dress.
Its been five years since the bulls-eye retailer introduced its affordable priced chunks of noted runway designers. Still, every time I return to my hometown of Pittsburgh, my sister in law drives me to Target just so I can check out what they have in the store.
Sure, there are two stores in New York City, but I've never walked into the Queens or Brooklyn Target and been able to find anything. Its as if people got word of the world ending and began stock piling hand towels, mouthwash and inexpensive dresses for an underground bunker soiree. Seriously, those stores are wiped of stock the second it hits the floor.
So, in celebration of five years, Target is launching the Go International Designer Collective, in stores and online March 13, through April 10, 2011.
All the pieces you waited in a psychotic line of hysterical self-proclaimed fashionistas for-- but were unable to get your hands on are back: The Libertine eyelet black dress, the Proeza Schouler bustier dress, and even the Rodarte lace-print dress.
See what will be in store come March and why you will kick yourself in the ass for buying the sold out pieces on eBay.
