Rodarte for Target

[chaneladdict]

I didn't even know this was happening..I can't wait to see what they do,if it's going to be targeted towards and older consumer or juniors.

I'm sure it will be pretty and good quality for what it is (a line at target) but I don't think it will look at all the way we think of Rodarte looking.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I get a little excited thinking a picture or two might have been posted...I can't wait!

I'm happy for the Mulleavy sisters, this is going to help out so much financially. I'm sure they'll manage to hold on to certain Rodarte elements into the collaboration. I'm a little worried about the leopard print coat that was mentioned though...

Me too! I come in here hoping for pictures and still nothing....

I saw some pix (in a magazine? ) & there was a dress that looked great ... I marked my calendar. I fear, though, that it will be solid polyester, and I object to that

^ I'm not sure ... I suspect Vogue, but I don't know. I subscribe to Vogue, Elle, Lucky, Allure, and O, so I believe it was one of those. There was a picture of the sisters surrounded with the things on mannequins, as I recall.

yeah but mistress,at least you got comme at H&M. that was only available in three or four cities in the states.

it's part of the Go Intl program, according to the original post in this thread...
so that means juniors if they follow according to the past...
the price points- 9.99- 79.99 also indicate a younger target audience......


anna sui will be the next target guest designer who is geared towards an older customer...

though- if alexander mcqueen was any indication...
it's not going to be much older than the teen scene...
i mean...that stuff was really bad 80's redux and anna sui is famous for babydoll dresses...

so, imo...
it's all really meant for young 'uns...
...

i heard a rumour about an upcoming designer that would change all that...
though i find it really difficult to imagine, so i'll just wait and see if it actually happens...

Thanks for the info softgrey. I'm guessing this is going to be another pass for me then.

I dunno . . . I'm excited for the idea of Rodarte for Target, but I don't have my hopes up. I've learned from seeing the other Go! international collections I was excited about that I usually feel let down. There is usually nothing I am really excited about and want, or if there is, I realize it's really overpriced for what it is (something of low-quality from target) and I probably only wanted to buy it for the name, or just to get something as a "souvenir".

Maybe it will be different this time though. I can only hope.

 

[sungelly87]

^^ i know what you mean, i haven't gotten anything since erin fetherston's cocoon coat, 2 years ago and like 5 collections ago. I'm really hoping to buy something from this collection by Rodarte and like you said, I might have to end up buying it as a "souvenir" but I would like it to be great and wearable...
