Jean Paul Gaultier and Zac Posen are coming to Target

Mark your calendars: Jean Paul Gaultier and Zac Posen are coming to Target!

Zac Posen’s collection for Target Go International is full of fun, flirty frocks and coordinating pieces. A decidedly more cohesive offering than Gaultier, the Posen Go International collection has a formal wear aspect including a floor-length gown, two-piece ruffle dress, and a tuxedo, but far less formal than the one Posen designed for Target Australia in 2008. Prices for the Go International line usually range from $14.99 to $149.99. The Posen Go International collection will be available April 25th. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as Posen’s Z Spoke line, exclusively for Saks Fifth Ave will launch this spring. View the Posen lookbook at Fashionista.com.

Jean Paul Gaultier is the newest addition to Target’s Designer Collaboration, which focuses on more established designers like Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui. Gaultier’s collaborative collection with Target offers a variety of styles, ranging from prim and proper dresses to bad-girl tattooed leggings and leather jackets. While the collection has little cohesiveness, it does have something for everyone. Many designers are moving away from the hard looks seen in recent seasons to softer, more feminine styles. The Gaultier collection shows the entire spectrum. While I am a fan of most of the outerwear in this collection, the must-have item is the trench coat. An essential item for any wardrobe, the Gaultier trench has a relaxed style with dark, contrast buttons (like Burberry and Christian Dior) and stripes for $59.99. The Gaultier collection will be available March 7th.
