Zac Posen for Target?
Oh wow....the structure of that coat is simply delicious!
But ugh, I hate competing with a horde of women. All that jostling and grabbing...*shudders*
Fortunately, there is a very high probability of the clothes being sold on ebay for those who dont manage to get any. Unfortunately, the price will be tripled. Economics.

There was apparently a ZP interview on Nova in sydney this morning, so I guess most of sydney knows about him now. The collection looked quite tacky on the runway. Dresses had huge visible zips at the back, although the sash dress looked ok. I'm probably not going to bother going in a mad rush to buy - they'll put down the prices in a month anyway - its what they did in every other single collection so far. I bought yeojin bae dresses from the last time a month after launch at $19 a dress, down from $130-150!
just looked at the target website- 2 days to go! but apparently collette dinnigan is doing a lingerie line for target, to be launched on the 17th of April..
also seems that the ottoman dress (the one Katherine Heigel wore) won't be available at stores- you can register interest on the site form the 3rd and they will draw for the opportunity to buy it...strange

Designer launch lacking 'bogan appeal'
NEW York designer Zac Posen's 20-piece collection will go on sale at Target tomorrow, but critics are divided on whether it will create the same frenzy that welcomed Stella McCartney's collection last year.
Melbourne fashion designer Jenny Bannister said she expected the Posen range to be "a bit of a flop" because he did not have "bogan appeal".
"The Stella McCartney collection was a great example of the uneducated running off, thinking they were getting a name brand, with some rubbish made in China," Bannister said.
"They probably didn't even know what real Stella McCartney looks like."
Bannister said Posen was well-known in New York because he was a regular in the social columns, but he was not a household name in Australia.
"The little girls who go shopping at Target don't know who he is," she said.
Melbourne Fashion Festival director Karen Webster defended the Posen deal and said buyers would know of his work.
"We live in the era of the culture of celebrity and these days the fashion consumer is really well-informed," she said.
