Preview: Missoni x Target

Today images from the upcoming Missoni x Target collaboration hit the web thanks to Target’s living doll, All the Way Up Here, who has been hired to help promote the 400 piece collection.  She gave us a look at so many elements from womenswear to menswear to childrenswear, accessories, that bicycle, luggage and even what appears to be an iPad cover!

Can’t wait until September 13 rolls around. I’m anticipating some serious damage! How adorable are those rainboots?  I already know that I want to try to snag all of the scarves, socks and my iPad does need a pretty home.  Let’s not even mention the dress in look 3 or the decorative pillows…What are you eyeing?

+J: Fall 2011 Preview

Like so much in life, all good things eventually come to an end - and the +J collection is no different. The longstanding partnership between Jil Sander and Uniqlo has ceased with the final collection to debut this coming fall (le sigh).

This is one of my favorite collabs for great basics so I'm definitely sad to see it go - will definitely be stocking up once this drops in stores.

As usual, the collection will house menswear and womenswear and so far, the outerwear looks pretty slick from the preview pics.
