    Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a Target collection, reports The Cut via WWD. The over-the-top designer's collection will be available at more than 250 Target stores across the country and Target.com on March 7 through April 11. Following Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui, Gaultier is the third established designer to do a collection for the mass retailer under the Designer Collaboration series. His chosen muse? The American woman, "celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture," a Target spokesperson says. I remember being thrilled by Gaultier's risque designs as a young girl (Madonna's cone-bra corset comes to mind). My mother's dislike of his iconic female/male perfume bottles only made me want them more; both still sit prominently displayed in my glass bathroom cabinet. This Frenchman holds a special place in my heart so I look forward to what he'll bring to Target audiences.

    Surf Into Target For Some Tracy Feith!

    As a skateboarder in the early 80s, Texas-born Tracy Feith started customizing his skate threads to match his free-spirited, punk personality. He later refined his skills at art school, and ended up working in the fashion industry creating the colorful, boho-luxe vibe -- which looks as good on the beach as the red carpet -- that has since become his signature. His new limited-edition line for Target is reminiscent of 70s surf life (especially with retro-ready prices ranging from $15-$140), featuring tees, swimwear, summery separates, flowy frocks and girlie skirts in bold hues, tiered ruffles, and prints both trippy and tropical on washed-down fabrics. A black leather biker jacket tossed over a daisy-print pinafore oozes carefree style, while a number 8 muscle tee with a print skater skirt is beach party-ready. "Tracy Feith designs for women who are sophisticated and chic [like fans Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, and Michelle Obama], but also know how to express their individuality," says Trish Adams, senior VP at Target. "His Bohemian-inspired, spirited aesthetic is a fresh take for the GO International program, providing designer fashion at guilt-free prices." Tracy Feith for Target is available starting May 17, 2009 at Target.com. Until then, make sure to check out Fashiontribes for more Spring and Summer fashion news and trends!
