Patrick Robinson for Target

[nogoodforme]

great article! it sounded like he really took advantage of the opportunity to create that would work well for the mass market, instead of trying to cram higher-end design into the category. i think this could be one of my favorite target go collections yet...

^That denim-colored dress is gorgeous! I'll have to keep an eye out for that

 

[june gloom]

I think out of all of the collections so far, this is my favorite. Can't wait.

 

[kellynjane]

Love it! Shocked, Marissa?

mmm i'm on the fence about this. it's not as great as i thought. and it doesn't really look different than the shorts on offer at old navy. the pictures are well styled but i'm not sure how it'll be in person....

You can see a tunic/dress from the Patrick Robinson for Target collection about 3:19 into the video. Except she calls it Patrick Robertson for Target...

(I saw this on Faith's livejournal. I hope she doesn't mind me putting it here?)

I love that tunic.

I wish there were more buzz about this collection so there would be sneak peeks and close-up pics. I guess it's too wearable and attractive to excite hardcore fashionistas but I think it is the most mature collection to date. This collection doesn't look like a watered-down version of a designer collection. It looks great in its own right.

the one piece medalion print bathing suit is in the new issue of allure and vogue this month.

theres also a one page feature on the collection in the new issue of teen vogue.
starting may 1 there should be a video on teenvogue.com showcasing the collection.

maybe target is deliberately downplaying this collection not wanting a repeat of Proenza Shouler when certain pieces were sold out immediately.

^I didn't even recognize that the swimsuit there was Patrick Robinson!

 

[vintageamour]

wow, i'm shocked. i reallyyyyyy like a lot of pieces from this collection especially the wallpaper print pieces.

 

[Madhuri]

I want that printed bag really bad!

 

[softgrey]

as far as i can see- this is the most mature go collection to date...
and the most wearable...

there is truly something for everyone...
very nice indeed...

Does anyone have a link to the collection on Target.com I could not find it.

^ The collection won't be available until May 6th. If it helps, the press pictures & the link to the press pictures are floating around though.

i'm actually really liking the one-piece bathingsuit! Crossing my fingers that my torso's not too long for it

i actually like the bag as well.. am getting excited about seeing this is in person, which for me is always the true test
