Slowly but surely, elite fashion designers and high end houses are lowering their noses. Influential names in fashion such as Stella McCartney, Viktor & Rolf and Karl Lagerfeld have made such a name for themselves by creating garments for posh shops and monied clientèle. Another thing all three have in common; they have all created affordable lines for retailer H&M. And even though H&M has been successful contracting designers to create limited lines for their store, I would have to give Target the credit for starting this revolution and truly making cheap "chic". For the past year they've introduced one well known designer after another, with names ranging from Luella Bartley to Paul & Joe, and their latest, Behnaz Serapfour. Up next is New York based designers Proenza Schouler, a young design team who has been showing their collections at New York Fashion Week

Takeaways
  • Viktor & Rolf, Karl Lagerfeld and Luella Bartley are a few well known fashion names to do lines for discount retailers.
  • Proenza Schoulers GO International collection is very colorful with a tropical influence.
  • Proenza Schouler for Target hits stores in February.
Did You Know?
The original concept for Targets GO International was to bring in designers based overseas. Behnaz Serapfour, Proenza Schouler and Patrick Robinson are all American designers.

This is interesting inside stuff! Looking forward to your next one. BTW, I've no idea why this didn't start as a 3..when I came to it it was at 2.0. Mistake, maybe? Anyway, I voted high. Good job.
