Target’s Reissuing 34 GO International Dresses, Here Are Nine We Hope They Include

If you didn’t get your hands on one of the lust-worthy pieces from one of Target‘s blink-and-you-missed-it designer collaborations over the years, you might get a second chance. In celebration of Five Years of GO International®, Target is following in the footsteps of Betsey Johnson and Anna Sui by reissuing 34 dresses from the following 17 previously featured designers:

Luella Bartley, Tara Jarmon, Paul & Joe, Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, Libertine, Alice Temperley, Erin Fetherston, Jovovich-Hawk, Rogan, Richard Chai, Jonathan Saunders, Thakoon, Tracy Feith, Rodarte, Zac Posen and Tucker.

The collective will be available March 13, 2011 through April 10, 2011 at most Target stores and online at Target.com. We think this is an awesome idea, and great news for people who missed out the first time around. Click through from some of our favorite dresses from the past five years. We hope Target agrees with us!

J. Crew Wants to Be Overpriced

There’s no shortage of luxury labels diffusing: McQ, See by Chloe, Libertine for Target, Vera Wang at Kohl’s… But slowly we’re seeing mass labels who want to trade up. Forever 21 announced their prestige line this spring, but you weren’t crazy about it – probably because the clothes were awful. H&M also has a luxe [...]

Are Skulls Still Okay?

Libertine for Target hit the web yesterday, and with it came the realization that skulls are still here. There were the original high fashion skeletons from Galliano and Lucien Pellat-Finet. There were the McQueen scarves co-opted by Urban Outfitters and still worn everywhere (this weekend I reasoned I couldn’t throw mine away, so instead I [...]

LA Fashion Week Goes Green

Though LA Fashion Week has been a tired affair in recent years, it might shape up in October because of their new focus: Mercedes-Benz and IMG announced today that the week is going green.

Temperley Time…

According to the Post’s fashion brigade, the first images of Temperley for Target are up! Our initial reaction to the line: “Oh. Really? Okay.” But then we realized there were some great pieces hidden among the oddly graphic jersey pieces. We’ve culled our favorite four looks and featured them above, and while we’re still more [...]
