Anna Sui for Target: A Review

The Gossip Girl Inspired Target Collection

Kimberly Sharpe
Designer Anna Sui recently partnered with Target to offer a "Gossip Girl" inspired collection. This clothing collection will feature themes for the four major characters of Gossip Girl. There will be a Blair look, which is preppy with bows and a diverse assortment of headbands, Serena, who offers a complete urban look, Jenny, who has a punk look and Vanessa, whose look is Brooklyn Boho.

Yes, Anna Sui did all the designing for this Target collection. They seem to reflect a few of her past big time runway designs inspirations. But this new look for Target is hot and fashionable. Target is hoping to create a big name seller for teenagers and young women with this line.

A few of these designs are quite cute. There is one lacy white dress that sports long sleeves and a high collar with a blue bow. This is a fairly short dress.

There is one bright blue and black shirt type dress that is a mini. It sports a button front with a large black belt. It has sleeves that hang just past the elbows.

One cute dress is black with black lace. Its a tank top style mini that is smart and sexy. It could be warn with a black turtle neck and tights for a winter look.

There is one bright orange skirt with black highlights. This one seems to capture the essence of a cut and spunky fall look.

Another dress is an off the shoulders mini that sport stripes of white, black and orange. This is very fun festive October dress that would be ideal for a Halloween party.

A dress that reminded me of a sixties or seventies look is a brown, bright orange, and peach print mini. Its a simple wrap around dress that is quite flamboyant in coloring but still seems to call out to a nice crisp fall day.

This entire line is quite reminiscent of some of Anna Sui's runway Collections in high fashion. If you crave a designer look but you don't want the extremely high price tags that often accompany some of the outfits then I would strongly suggest that you visit Target and check out this new line. It offers the versatility to create your own look with some designs that look like they came from the catwalk.

I do believe that the main appeal of this clothing line is going to be its versatility. Wear a boyfriend jacket and you have one look. Sport a turtleneck for another fall fashion. You could even try various tights or leggings for cute and unique color combinations. Wear flats or heels with some of the Minni's to convert from a day fashion to something that you could even wear out to a nightclub. The choices are quite diverse when it comes to this line.

Another appeal will be the wonderfully reasonable price range. Now anyone can afford a true designer look to complement their wardrobes.
