Target is partnering with legendary French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier as the third designer in a series of Designer Collaborations, a unique program that features well-established designers who draw inspiration from a collaborative partner, muse or creative element. The exclusive Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection pays tribute to the American woman – celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture. The affordable collection will launch on Target.com and at select Target stores nationwide on March 7, 2010 and remain available through April 11, 2010.
Known for designing bold and daring couture collections as well as costumes and dresses for music and movie superstars worldwide, Gaultier developed his Target collection based on the iconic American woman and the cultural forces that influence American style both past and present. By creating a fusion of style – Rock n’ Roll chic, Hollywood glamour, bold Hip-Hop attitude and Punk alternative trends – Gaultier’s collection is a celebration of how American women have revolutionized fashion over the decades.
“My collection with Target pays homage to the wide range of personalities that make up the diverse styles of American women,” said Jean Paul Gaultier. “From ingénue to rock ‘n roll, this collection celebrates women of all ages and a host of distinctive, iconic American styles.” Ranging in price from $17.99 -$199.99, this line of seasonal, affordable must-haves includes high-waisted pants and shorts, mini skirts, strong-shoulder jackets, cropped tanks and swimwear that women everywhere will covet.
So nice to know that people are trying to help women feel good in their skins at a time when we aren’t always feeling so good about ourselves. There’s hope that clothes at target might be affordable too. Thanks for sharing this news.
