How Mysterious You Are, My Dear

These pictures have been lurking around the Target press room, titled "GO International Private Label Collection 1."

Hmmm. Might they be a preview of Richard Chai for Target? Some aspects of this collection are reminiscent of some of Chai's previous collections. . .

I do like it, though. Not all of it, but that first dress is quite pretty, for example. The final dress reminds me of a Korean hanbok.

More pictures here.

Update: Fashionista reports that "the clothes were created by Target designers in an attempt to 'bring top apparel trends to Target in between each limited-edition GO International designer collection.'"

Oh. I can't decide whether this is good or bad. On the one hand, Target is bringing us more fashionable clothing (yay!), but on the other, do I really want to pay what I would pay for a Luella for Target jacket on something that's just Target for Target?

Hmmm. Discuss.

What a quick sleuth you are... that looks like it like the right fit for a Richard Chai for Target collection...

The first dress is pretty, pretty, pretty.

If that first dress is any indication, then yes, I will definitely pay. To be honest, their GO line isn't so much more expensive, and the designer labels aren't that much of a cache for me...
I wonder when these pieces will be released...

the clothes horse- Mmm, I know...

in yr fshn- I think I would too, but I won't know for certain until I see the clothing in person. I read somewhere that the collection will be released around April 15.
