Oh how I adore fashion collaborations! I loved the Missoni for Target, Versace for H&M, and I’ll pretty sure I’ll adore Jason Wu’s upcoming line with Target. The Jason Wu for Target collaboration is now only a month away and with the release of his print campaign, we now have a first look at what’s to come from his Target line. Jason Wu signature lady-like style is beloved by Hollywood starlets and First Lady Michelle Obama, so it’s no surprise to see that same femme vibe in this collection. Judging by the models featured in the campaign, expect dresses with peter pan collars, pastel tones, colorful accents, ladylike handbags, and knits.

H&M next designer collaboration is……. Marni. The collection will feature women and mens wear, shoes, jewelry bags, and scarves. The Marni for H&M collection will hit 260 H&M stores and online on March 8, 2012.
So, what should we expect from this collection? So far, lots of African-inspired tribal prints and colorful graphics.
“I wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all our favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints,” explains Consuelo Castiglioni. “As always, I love juxtaposing prints and colors, mixing modern tribal with Bauhaus graphic adding sporty utilitarian elements.”
Here’s more from the H&M press release:
”For women, the colors are vivid and the prints are bold, be they African inspired or simpler color blocks. The silhouettes are all Marni staples, with full pleated skirts, dresses, cropped trousers and jacquard knit, and fabrics range from silk to crisp cotton poplin. For men, the colors and fabrics are softened for a relaxed take on menswear staples that is truly Marni. The use of print is subtle, often as a lining or as a contrast detail for shirts, the silhouette a modern and relaxed take on masculine classics.”
Here’s a sneak peek of the collection, in the photos below!

Lipstick Queen, Poppy King has teamed up with beauty brand, Boots No.7, to launch a lipstick collection. The collection, ‘The Magic of Lipstick’, was created in a one year time frame and consists of seven lipsticks and seven glosses to match.
King has been a Boots No.7 fan after she discovered the brand during a trip to London. While designing the line, she wanted to draw inspiration from the 1930s.
“I wanted to use the silver that was on the Boots packaging then, and the shape and styling of the number ’7′ reminiscent of the ’30s,” said King. ”I wanted to ease women back into lipstick — the Boots’ customer needs something that works, something that is elegant, and something that is low maintenance.”
The shades are inspired by seven reasons why lipstick is “magical”:
- History- blue-based cherry red
- Power- sheer raspberry
- Glamour- sophisticated pink
- Seduction- deep wine (inspired by 1920s flapper girl)
- Intrigue- the perfect pinky-nude
- Confidence- classic honey nude (think Brigitte Bardot)
- Allure- peachy nude
Each lipstick and gloss tube comes in a dotted box which King said was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s infamous beauty spot- “imperfections make us who we are,” she says. The line is now available at shopbootsusa.com and will also be added in select Target stores later on this month. Retail price is $9.99.
