Designers for Less, Part 3: Target

I'm sure you've heard this one by now, but Target has been contracting with some very cool designers to make some cool stuff for some time.  Target has carried (or is currently carrying) designed by Isaac Mizrahi, Alexander McQueen, and Commes des Garcon as well as their staples of Mossimo and Merona.  Sigerson Morrison also recently collaborated with them on a limited--edition footwear line.  Generally speaking, I like the "staple" pieces at Target, and once got a really cute black Mossimo trenchcoat there that was marked down to $20.    They've also really expanded their makeup and accessories departments too, to include makeup by Jemma Kidd and Pixi and handbags by Rafe and Botkier. 

 

All in all, you have to hand it to Target for pushing the envelope to bring high-end designers to the retail market.  Really, my only problem there is with selection, meaning every time I try to go there to check out the different lines, there is a very small selection (if any) of the designer clothes, and it's frustrating to go there with a high expectation only to find one rack (or none) of the clothes that you were wanting.  There's really no way to call ahead and ask, so you'll have to just take your chances and look in the clothing department of Target while you're already there for baby wipes and food (or try the website).
