Fashion Fail: Rodarte for Target  

Sooo, some pics of the highly anticipated Rodarte/Target Go International line have leaked...and I'm sad to report that I. HATE. IT. I tried to look at these photos from several different perspectives to determine if it was the styling that turns me off, and not the clothes. After getting over my initial shock and disappointment, I determined that I would wear (though not necessarily buy) the cardigans, but these other pieces can kick rocks. This is a fashion fail for me. To think, I was going to take an early lunch to be at the store when it opened! Not anymore...

Here are some photos:

 
 
 



Before I upset some of you by coming off as seemingly "closed-minded," let me show you what I expected. I expected something along the lines of the pieces I've seen some celebs wear:


 

So, as you could imagine, this line would leave a lot left to be desired. What are your thoughts?

Anna Sui for Target

Rodarte for Target  

The designing sister duo of Rodarte, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, are collaborating with Target to create a 55-piece Rodarte line for their Go International line December 20 - February 6. *salivating at the thought*
Prices for Target’s Go International Rodarte collection will range from $9.99 for knee-highs to $79.99 for a leopard print jacket.


“What you’ll notice is an amazing eye for detail,” said Joshua Thomas, a Target spokesman. “It’s very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering.”

Rodarte, which is known for evening clothes, designed “a variety of great holiday dresses,” Thomas said. “There are stand-alone pieces and pieces that can be worn together to create an ensemble by layering different patterns, textures and prints.”


Personally, I cannot wait, and as the release of the line will be at the pinnacle of holiday season, I suggest that you get to Target the morning of December 20th if you want to score some pieces.
