Target’s Next Designer Collab Launches Sunday: Peter Pilotto for Target

Jump straight into spring fashion and make a statement with Target’s latest designer collaboration: Peter Pilotto for Target.

The men behind the London-based fashion brand are Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos. In December 2009, fashion brand Peter Pilotto was awarded the best emerging talent award at the British Fashion Awards.

The Peter Pilotto for Target collection will include 70 pieces, ranging from dresses and skirts, swimwear, and accessories. Most of the pieces will also cost less than $60, making the collection happily affordable.

Bold graphic prints, different silhouettes, and an explosion of complementary and contrasting colors make up the highly anticipated collection. If you ever had trouble with mixing prints, the Peter Pilotto for Target collection has got you covered. It’s fun, beautiful, and bold – a perfect combo for spring fashion.

Peter Pilotto for Target will be available in Target stores (in the U.S. and Canada) on Sunday, February 9. You can also shop it online at Target.com and Net-a-Porter.com starting Sunday. Net-a-Porter will carry a curated assortment of the collection.

Must-Haves from the 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target Collection

The most anticipated Target designer collaboration is here! Well, not yet, but the look book is. Target’s newest designer collab with 3.1 Phillip Lim is the best everyday-wear collection we’ve seen yet to emerge from the retailer. And it’s definitely worth getting your hands on.

From trench coats, sweaters, work-appropriate dresses, and must-have bags, Phillip Lim’s collection is simple but totally chic.

“This is really personal, because growing up, I was a Target customer. My parents were always taking me to Target for back-to-school shopping, and I would find things, but they were not quite right. This was my chance to go back and relive this and do it right,” Phillip Lim told T Magazine.

The collection consists of 100 items for both men and women ranging in prices from $19.99 to $299.99 for apparel and $19.99 to $59.99 for accessories.

Lim divided the collection into three wardrobes: morning, noon, and night.

Take a look at my favorite picks below:

Morning Looks:

Look 1: Trench Coat in Khaki/Blue $79.99, Pant in Light Blue $39.99

Look 2: Pullover $34.99, Silky Skirt $29.99

Noon Looks:

Look 3: Sparkle Sweater in Navy $39.99, Pant in Light Blue $39.99, Mini Satchel in Gold $34.99

Look 4: Woven Shirt Dress in Paper Floral Print $39.99, Carry-All Bag in Black $54.99

Night Looks:

Look 5: Sparkle Dress in Black $49.99

Look 6: Dress with Faux Leather in Navy/Black $49.99

Within the collection, you’ll also find perfect-for-everywhere tops, sleepwear, and dresses for day.

Arguably the best part of this collab are the bags. They’re well-designed, come in classic colors (black, gray, blue, red), and each is perfect to be your go-to almost “it” bag. The collection even includes a less-pricey version of the coveted Pashli bag.
