Hibernation and Spring Inspirations
Since the cold hit, I've gone into severe hibernation mode, only emerging from my warm brownstone apartment to rush to the subway, rush to work, and then back again. I have also been working late, which means no fabulous photos of Brooklyn in the daytime for you! I do, however, have some great non-Brooklyn photos that I hope will make you think spring. They were taken at the unveiling of Proenza Schouler's Target line at Opening Ceremony. Though that sale is over, the Target website is open for business. Unless you enjoy poking yourself in the eye, I'd avoid the Brooklyn Target (probably one of the worst Targets in the history of mankind).
By the way, if Fashion Week is a zoo, this preview party was a day at the monkey house.

I may be the only person alive who isn't excited about this line. My issue with it is that it IS so unique...and seeminlgly so well marketed, (or maybe so only in my small world?) that you are essentially screaming TARGET if you ever wear any of it. I guess I'm also not generally a bright color/loud pattern in clothing type either. I'm interested to see how much of this I see worn around town.
Gosh, I am commenting so negatively today, aren't I? Haha. Let me go praise someone's CD or something... :)
I, on the other hand, think that all these collabs with high fashion designers and mass consumer markets are wonderful, high fashion's isolation of the bourgeois is so 18th century. I dig the colors, the uniqueness, for those people who want to blend in I feel like you can def. tone down the colors by mixing in basic pieces. I saw someone the other day with the blue floral dress, it did scream, "Target," but what's so bad about wearing a lower label? I think the problem is our emphasis on higher priced labels, okay i'm digressing, on to that CD review :)
