Target has had some of the more style-friendly collaborations of late and now they bring you Zac Posen for Target, a sweet chic little line of cute summery clothes for the young fashionista and few solid pieces for those more grown-up.

This collaboration offers Target’s first full-length gown and tuxedo suit-- a perfect budget fashion solution for prom!

Bonjour Monsieur High End, I'd like you to meet Mr. Budget Fashion...

because there's genius in the collaboration!

Jean Paul Gaultier knows how to work a crowd.

He's been the downtown set's designer for cool for some time. When you wore one of Gaultier's pieces you know you you had arrived and were were part of the secret fashion society who could all recognize his designs by the little tab in the back. It's hard to remember a photo shoot back in the 80's where at least one person was not wearing something from Gaultier, myself included.

The clothes always had that out-there, avant-garde feel that was never trendy but ahead of the pack. In their own special way thay become timeless classics in your wardrobe, particularly the tailored pieces.

Then came the 90's and with Madonna's cone bra, Gaultier instantly became an iconic part of pop culture.

Bright Lights and Minis, Oh My!

One of the hottest trends this season has been far and away the bold use of color and the latest collection by LA-based twin designers Kym and Alexis McClay have definitely hit that nail on the head. Their line Naven, whose name comes from a city in Ireland where their family is from, is a collection of gorgeous and absolutely covetable pieces.

Their bold use of neon yellow, hot pink, lime, purple, and royal blue is definitely what grabs your attention first but upon further inspection I was pleased to find that the construction and detail was absolutely impeccable.
