___________ for Target.

It's been a good last week or so for news on upcoming Go International collabs; I feel pretty much like there's nowhere to go but down after the rad Rodarte collection, but paging through these new lookbooks has been pleasing nonetheless. In both cases I started out being unimpressed, but as with any collection there are always at least a few decent pieces that warrant a second look (related: I was so devoted to disliking D&G SS10 after that Wild West disaster of a show, but then this tumbleweed rolled by, curses!).

First, my favorites from the Zac Posen for Target collaboration, arriving in stores April 24th:


Love this gold dress; there's something so Art Deco about the structure of it.


Apparently this ruffle is removable? Insane.


If this sweater dress drapes as well on me as it does this model then we have a pretty serious contender I think.


Tuxedo what now? I'm dying over the cut of this jacket, and please please let the pants come long enough.

And the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collab, in stores March 7th:


The trench and the polka dot dress on the left! So happening. The dress on the right is nicely cut but I'm not sold on the print. I might like it better in person.


I don't understand the top on the left and that thrills me. Stripes! Some sort of tie thing! That top + short shorts + high wedges = summer.


Oh god, the look on the right is everything that appeals to me about clothes. I am such a sucker for a good red gingham, especially with a fifties pin-up girl cut to it. Winged eyeliner and rockabilly pompadour at the ready; all systems are go.

I think JPG has the edge on this one, but as ever it's impossible to know how things are going to look in person. Either way I'm impatient already.
