Target to Launch Dress Collection with all of its Designers (Rodarte, Luella etc)

[aldn]

If Patrick Robinson had the option to decline maybe they are gonna have some fresh pieces.

 

[lucy92]

no, they arent going to be fresh pieces sadly. the wording initially wasnt clear. however according to targets style blog they are going to be re-issues.

That's so weird that Patrick got to decline due to other commitments or whatever. Glad everyone else is coming along for the ride though.

i think it makes sense. robinson probably has a non-compete clause in his contract.

there is an ad for the "go collective" in the new issue of teen vogue. it shows a blue satin dress. im not sure who designed it. maybe richard chai? doesnt really ring a bill. maybe its a new dress.

But wasn't he already at gap when he did his collection? lol.
i'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

I am kind of excited because I missed out on the Erin Fetherston collection, but I remember when the Rodarte collection came out, none of the dresses fit me properly (though they were pretty!)

Disappointed that these aren't going to be fresh pieces. But I know I wouldn't get anything from it anyway because everyone always sells out in seconds!

no, target hired him to do a guest collection before the gap job.

the following dresses are definitely part of the collection for march.

Please please PLEASE let the Rodarte black lace sweater be re-issued... at this point, I'm positively desperate for one!

I like the idea of re-issues; most all of the collections were really beautiful. Can't wait to see the Jovovich-Hawk and PS collections again, too! Was JPG Go International or just a collaborative?

unfortunately they are ONLY dresses, so it'll be the two rodarte dresses you see above!


I'm excited for the nude tulle dress from rodarte, the palm print dress from Proenza, Richard Chai and any of the Erin Fetherston dresses!

I'm DEFINITELY getting that purple bustier dress!

There was a black lace Rodarte dress I wanted but didn't get. I do hope thats re-issued if re-issuing is Target's plan.

 

[lucy92]

wow, i love this ad with all of the designers in it. myfdb

they prices have increased slightly.

i love that pic too. i love the ad campaign. i wish they would reproduce those signs for purchase.

I just about freaked out on my way home because I suddenly remembered this collection but couldn't recall the exact release date. I'm glad it's the 14th.

 

[Scott]

too bad it's all dresses. my mother literally wore out her retro floral print rodarte t'shirt that she loved to bits. there was also some pieces from the libertine and saunders collabs i would have loved to grab up for them as well.

this video with the collection is adorable. its a step class dancing in all the dresses. the pink feith dress looks great.

Actually it comes out tomorrow, so in the morning I'm gonna run to my Target and hopefully they'll have that purple dress in my size. If not, thank you online shopping!
