Liberty & Target

liberty and target collaborate.jpgIf Liberty and Target pair up, like they’re rumored to, the world of mass collaborations will reach an insanely new transatlantic high.
Both stores, one the epitome of London cool and the other the epitome of American mass consumerism, have enlisted creative superstars to work on their projects for the past few years.
Liberty’s hosted Ronnie Wood and Luella Bartley while Target’s longer list includes McQueen, Proenza, Erin Fetherston and Luella. So when they join forces, we can’t even imagine what’ll happen – though visions of liberty print rompers and swimsuits for less than $30 are already dancing in our head. Between the two of them, we’d almost expect the whole world to show up in Liberty prints next summer.
WWD thinks the rumor will come true in spring and that there’ll be accessories, too. May we please have a Target now?

if anything, wal-mart is the epitome of american consumerism. not target!

LOVE Liberty of London. Would be happy to purchase each and every piece!

I wonder if Liberty is going to use a cheaper grade of fabric than they usually use, because you can’t even buy a yard of fabric from them for $30.

Belle Du Jour took the words right out of my mouth. Sounds like heaven to me!

I second nicolars. Any fabric they end up using is bound to be pretty crappy.

I agree with 3 & 5. I am so excited about these fabulous designer collaborations, but I don’t want to buy something that is of poor quality just to have the name of the designer that I wish I could afford…
