Any Idiot Can Play Greek For a Day



grecianripoff.jpgThe Grecian dress from Target’s in-house Go International collection looks both random, cheaply made, and poorly fitting – even on the model.
We love a good steal from our favorite megastore, but draping should be left to those with quality fabric and serious skills. Plus, the dress doesn’t really fit the fashion-for-the-masses mold.
After wondering aloud where they got the idea, we dropped the subject until we came across this gorgeous Alberta Ferretti frock.
Our first thought was, “Hello, Lauren Conrad!” And our second was, “Um, looks like Target scrolls Net-a-Porter as much as we do.”
So Target, if you’re listening, we love what you’ve done with mass fashion and please call Mr. Alexander McQueen to design the next GO International collection.
But leave the intricate draping, pleating, flowing silk look to those with access to Italian fabric mills.
