The Target Mission Begins

Brits buying stuff from Target isn't exactly a difficulty.  What with the extraordinary pound-dollar exchange, getting something like a myus.com shipping account isn't all that extravagant.  Still, nothing really has taken my true fancy and I've never really been truly arsed.  Until now of course.  Yes, those pesky Jonathan Saunders for Target pics are all over the blogshop and everyone has something to say about them.  Jaded Target buyers are declaring 'It's another boring Go International Target collection...' but without seeing larger, more detailed images and going by the smaller ones, I personally think that Saunders has done an admirable job of transferring his aesthetic, a mis-mash of the past few seasons into a high street collection.  What he did for Topshop was more casual/print led than this affair which has concentrated more on use of fabrics and mix of textures... and given the prices which for us Brits is a godsend, makes it a bit of a bargain.

So the mission begins.  Four Target pop-up stores have showed up in New York for fashion week and so some lucky peeps will get their mitts on it but the stuff will go on sale in October online and in-stores.  Meanwhile, I'm over in drizzly London doing a raindance with a very battered Jonathan Saunders-inspired umbrella which I picked up at work as it was abandoned and my one piece of Jonathan Saunders in hope that come October, I'll be successful in my mission...
