The good news: Alexander McQueen is doing the next designer-for-Target line! This makes my heart skip a beat. McQueen is a genius, I mean, total fashion-Mensa genius. A McQueen full skirt printed with yellow sparrows and a yellow underskirt at Corso Como was the first clothing item over $1,000 I'd ever tried on, and I think I'm still harboring a crush. The chance to find my love at Target is major.
The bad news: "The clothes are inspired by rocker-chick bands...meaning zippered black tights, slinky T-shirt dresses in hot pink and black tiger stripes and shirtdresses with a tattoo print." Some tees even feature Leila Moss, lead singer of the Duke Spirit (who, very coincidentally, happens to be the face of the brand, and whose band is doing an exclusive cd for Target). Hold on, really? Zippered black tights and tiger tees? Is Target sure that they didn't call American Apparel's wholesale number by mistake instead of Mr. McQueen's studio? This sounds like yet another designer collaboration that I'll avoid checking out just to save myself the crushing disappointment. Le sigh.

I'm not into these low-priced designer lines. It seems like people just buy them because they're desperate to have something with so-and-so's name on it. I can't stand bad quality and disposable fashion... and the designs are usually dull.
