Designer Collabs: Jason Wu for Target

Hello All!

First of all, Happy New Year! I'm looking foward to 2012, and I hope all of you are as well. With a new year comes a new perspective and new things to be excited about.

So, without further ado, I will tell you one thing I am excited about...The new Jason Wu for Target collection that's due out February 5th! Now, let me be honest, I could really care less about labels, but when you are interested in fashion, it's only natural to pay attention to these things. That being said, the only Target collaborations I was exicted about recently was the Missoni +Target collab that ended up being a huge debacle. Luckily for me, I was broke anyway and thus avoided the heavy dissappointment that many had to endure.

So, anyway...I have a particular soft spot for cats, so when I saw the initial sketches for Jason Wu's Target line, I was drawn in.

 So, just on the kitty cat there, I was sold. I also know that Jason Wu's previous claim to fame was the elegant dress he designed for First Lady Michelle Obama.

So, I've been trying to get my hands on all the images I can, knowing that most of the fashions Target will churn out in his name won't reach above a size 12 most likely. However, that won't stop me from picking up a few accessories or perhaps a bag or shoes from the line. So far, these are the only other images I could find:

 I love how classic and flattering his style is...he truly knows how to make a woman look beautiful! I love retro and vintage designs, and this is screaming London in the 60's to me, what do you think? Very mod, no?

Can't wait to see more, and I definitely will be jumping on board Target's designer collab train from now on, especially if Target gets more collabs like this one!
