Jason Wu for Target
Written by CharlotteSTYLE // January 5, 2012 // Fashion News // No comments
Ask and ye shall receive! I love designer clothes, but I simply CANNOT justify $3,000 for any article of clothing until my husband plays for an NBA team or I have my own show on OWN. Thankfully Target and Jason Wu are coming to my rescue.
After the news was announced in October that Target’s next designer collaboration would be Jason Wu (who designed The First Lady’s Inauguration dress by the way) T Magazine has recently released a few photos from the collection which will makes its debut February 5. Not an item over $60!
Wu told the NY Times’ T Magazine “My goal was not to duplicate anything from my main collection. Instead I designed completely new clothes and accessories that reflect my taste and have a voice of their own.”
What I love about the preview below is that Wu didn’t just throw something together for Target and slap his name on it. He took the time to design a beautiful collection, something as classic and lady-like as his Pre-Fall 2012 collection.
Poplin Dress $40, Satchel $50
A life-long fat girl, Sommer Johnson decided to strap on some fancy tennis shoes, wrestle into a sports bra that would likely be one size too small (they always are--that's what you get with big boobs), and go on a 38 week journey to run the Peachtree Road Race. In the midst of trying to find her healthier self, she found that her struggle was not all that rare. Between the full-figured audience of her online publication, Gemini Magazine, and friends who were rowing up the fat river with no paddle, Sommer decided to share her journey to help women like her get past their fears (and get moving--literally). A runner newbie, Insanity graduate, Turbofire enthusiast, and foodie experimenter, Sommer Johnson is a 32 year old mother of 2 and wife of 1 who lives in Atlanta, GA.
