So who is this chick? Well, she's young, elfin, and rather new on the scene. She showed her first couture collection in Paris in 2005, just a year after nabbing her fashion degree (she studied at Parsons School of Design in Paris) and her first ready-to-wear collection debuted in New York just this past spring. See footage of her Fall/Winter 2007 collection here.
Her collection for the plebes, according to Target, will include "must-haves such as Peter Pan-collar dresses, ruffle-front blouses, chunky cardigans, miniskirts, skinny pants and wool coats."The "standout pieces" they promise are:
* a charmeuse jumper with velvet hearts
* red velvet shorts
* a layered chiffon dress
* a classic velvet pantsuit
* a wrap sweater
* an oversized heart-shaped bag
* bow headbands in satin, jaquard and brocade
* heart necklaces
* a knit scarf with heart details
(All priced between $7.99 and $89.99)
My first thoughts? Sounds like a cross between vintage holiday party-wear and how I dressed on school picture day circa 4th grade. I foresee her scaring off the "normals" a bit, but being an absolute hit with urban indie chicks, nostalgic twenty-somethings and those willing to take a risk.
The first model you see on her website is Zooey Deschanel. So you know she's into quirk and music and shy whimsy. I can't wait. If you get there first, save me a heart-shaped bag.
