2009 on TARGET for McQueen

Your favorite lifestyle store has hit a bullseye!  That's right Target has tapped British designer Alexander McQueen as the first designer to do a capsule collection for a new designer initiative in 09.   Not to be confused with the emerging international designers the company already collaborated with such as Luella Bartley or Anya Hindmarch, the new plan is to bring major designers to the Target  customer base.   McQueen recently launched McQ, a lower priced sportswear collection inspired by his runway looks.    This was a great move, as is the Target collaboration - considering his runway looks make a big statement - but don't exactly fly off the shelves.   I'll be the first to admit I have been critical in the past as I think his collections wear the women and not the other way round - but I am looking forward to the new work for Target.   

If you are not already shopping at Target - put it on your list next week!   If not for the amazing things you find inside from Green home products to killer fashion pieces - the store gives 5% of sales every week to every local community they do business in!   This comes out to about $3 MILLION a week... yes you read that correctly.  That's more than we can say for the Wallmonster.... so head for the bullseye and come March - look for McQ at Target too!!
