Target is certainly making the best out of a troubled economy. First they sent us into a frenzy when it was revealed that the retailer would be collaborating with Anna Sui and now, before the Sui collection has even hit stores, there’s another designer range in the pipeline. Up-and-coming label Rodarte, who paraded crotch-high boots and tattered knitwear in their Fall 09 collection, are set to create a 55-piece line for Target that will be available in stores and online from December 20th through February 6th. Prices range from $9.99 for knee-highs to a $79.99 leopard-print jacket; a far cry from the $3,000 knits in their Ready-to-Wear collection. But Target promises that, while the sky-high price tag may be missing from the line, the immaculate attention to detail that Rodarte have become renowned for will not. A spokesman said, “It’s very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering.” Here’s to Rodarte clothing we can actually afford!
