William Rast For Target!

We sure didn't see this one coming: Target inked a deal with William Rast to design a collection for its next designer collaboration series.

We sure didn't see this one coming: Target inked a deal with William Rast to design a collection for its next designer collaboration series. The collection, founded by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala, will include both women's and men's clothing. "The collection for Target was inspired by the essence of the William Rast brand — the iconography of biker culture and American denim heritage," said Colin Dyne, from William Rast. Price points are still under wraps, but it's sure to be way more affordable than the brand's namesake $95 to $595 collection. The line hits stores and online on Dec. 19.

Zac Hosts His Friends to Toast His Target Collection Before It's Available to All

Zac Posen took over NYC's New Yorker Hotel last night to celebrate his new Target collaboration with his nearest and dearest.

Zac Posen took over NYC's New Yorker Hotel last night to celebrate his new Target collaboration with his nearest and dearest. From 8 to 11 PM, he played host to a variety of pretty young things like Selma Blair, Claire Danes, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as The Like entertained a crowd busy trying to get their hands on one of his creations. Once the clock struck 11, the space converted into a 24-hours-only pop-up shop where fans of Zac can get their hands on his limited-edition line before it goes on sale in stores on the 25th. Patient Zac fans waiting to get in evidently faced a blocks-long line, and the revelry was so intense Zac himself had to seek shelter in a stairwell.

This Just In! Anna Sui For Target

Come Sept. 13, Anna Sui is bringing her folksy prints to a mass retailer near you.

Come Sept. 13, Anna Sui is bringing her folksy prints to a mass retailer near you. The bohemian designer is following in Alexander McQueen's footsteps as its second designer in the Designer Collaborations series.

“I have always been a fan of designer partnerships with mass retailers,” said Sui. “I think it is a great way to bring fashion to everyone. I love Go International and was intrigued with Target’s new take on designer partnerships. It’s a fresh approach. I was able to select a muse or source of creative inspiration to focus the collection around.” Sui's inspiration for her line with Target? Gossip Girl. Sweet.

Fab Flash: High/Low Designer Collaborations at an All-Time High

During dismal economic times, designer collaborations are the way to go.

During dismal economic times, designer collaborations are the way to go. “We’re definitely going to see a lot more of these high-low marriages,” said Valerie Steele, of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. “People are going to want a lot of fashion for their buck.” With that said, now is the time to nab a creation from your favorite high-end designer for a fraction of the price.

For example, J Brand has teamed up with Hussein Chalayan to create an exclusive denim line. “The opportunity to work with Hussein brings both brands to another level,” said Suzy Crippen, of J Brand. “It is all about business. The business of making something beautiful, a collector’s item you can afford, like a cheap Picasso.” Affordable designer goodies? That's always been the Fab way to go . . .
