Shopping tips: Designer shopping for less


While I’m not a complete designer snob, I do appreciate the higher quality that designer clothes typically represent. However, I am often unable to afford to make the investment that many designer clothes and accessories require. It made me smile when Target began partnering with designers to create lower cost collections for their stores. Early on, we started to see Issac Mizrahi, Mossimo and Converse added to the Target brands that we have come to know and love. Even before Target began partnering with designers, their clothing was typically much more preferred by the fashionable but budget conscious community. Once they began introducing lines by well known high end designers, their clothing and accessories improved even more. Now, Target is a great shopping destination for those budget conscious fashionistas.

Well Target decided to amp up its designers collections by releasing capsule collections from different designers as a part of their Go International section. This is great for us Clueless Fashionistas who often don’t know how to start incorporating designer brands into our wardrobes and may not be willing or able to pay the higher prices. Well you can visit Target now and browse their Go International collections and learn about different designers. Currently they are featuring apparel by Thakoon, a designer that’s very popular with the high fashion set. Now the line is available to virtually everyone at Target. I recommend that you stop in and pick up some of his pieces out but do it quickly because it will be gone after January 31. Check out the website at www.thakoon.com and then compare it to the Target line. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Another designer currently being featured at Target is Hayden-Harnett handbags. Typically those handbags can run upwards of $700 or more but the Target collection ranges from $19.99 to $44.99 without sacrificing the high end look and quality. Check out the website at
