We thought it was curious that, among all the celebrities who attended Target’s spectacular Spectacular at the Standard a few weeks ago, designer Prabal Gurung was on the red carpet too.

Since then, we’ve heard from two sources that Gurung is Target’s newest GO designer. We hope it’s true. Gurung’s use of bold colors, sharp tailoring, and elegant cocktail dresses would translate well for mass.

Gurung is a rising star (his first runway show was just last season), with just the right buzz to land a Target collaboration. He’s adored by editors and celebrities alike (including Mrs. O and Oprah), wins fashion awards, and hasn’t shied away fashion reality TV either (remember his City cameo?). Our sources won’t dish on when this collaboration might happen, but we’re hoping it’s soon–a holiday present maybe? Fingers crossed.
