Target is continuing to evolve its collaboration format.
Interspersed with the single designer collaborations we know and love, it’s been throwing in a few curve balls: There’s The Shops at Target, which has the retailer collaborating with off-the-beaten-path shops around the country; there was the not-so-successful Neiman Marcus holiday collaboration; and now it’s tapped a celebrity stylist to design a range of eveningwear.
Here it is guys, the full Prabal Gurung for Target collection–all 80 plus pieces of it, complete with pricing.

It launched following not only tons of media buzz, but also TV commercials (that seemed to air constantly) and even an elaborate Revenge tie-in.
