With his Target Go International collection, Zac Posen aims to please young girls of all sartorial leanings by designing flirty party dresses and sleek tuxedos for under $100. The thoughtful lineup—one standout cocktail dress features detachable ruffles and can be worn multiple ways—is 100 percent Posen at affordable price points.
In his quest to keep the collection relevant, the New York-based designer charted new territory with the mass retailer by giving an alternative evening wear choice to its young shoppers—a menswear style tuxedo.
“Lesbian proms have been such a big thing in the news lately,” Posen said of the decision to feature the YSL-esque tux. “Rather than create a fake subculture, I wanted to address things that are actually happening. It’s a kick-ass girl who can wear a tuxedo to prom! Don’t be afraid of drama.”
Two weeks after announcing the launch of Z Spoke, a secondary line in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, Zac Posen confirms he is next in line to design a Go International collection with Target. Posen's pieces will be in Target stores and online from April 25 - May 30th.
Target also recently announced two new accessory collaborations launching in April—hats by Eugenia Kim and footwear by Cynthia Vincent will be available on the 18th in Target stores and online.
In other Target news, don't forget to mark your calendars for the Rodarte Go International collection, which willl hit stores on December 20.

Isaac Mizrahi has finally arrived at Liz Claiborne after spending six years designing for Target. The brand has been waiting for almost a year to have Mizrahi come on board...and it must have been a long one. Back in January of 2008 Claiborne's Chief Executive told USA Today, "It is certainly no secret that the brand has been lacking a clear and cohesive vision and has languished as a result.".
Tracy Feith will be Target's 15th Go International guest designer. The range will include approximately 60 styles, making it much larger than most capsule collections at Target.
The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman, was hired to shoot the Spring 09 DKNY ads and Fashionista wonders why they had to hire a stylist. Ladies, you should have seen the crew.
The Observer reports that women have stopped wearing form fitting sweaters in favor of security blanket-like cardigans and wraps. The story is about a thousand words too long if you ask us, but yeah.
