Target Reissues 35 Dresses

After five years of successful collaboration Target’s poorly named GO International is reissuing 35 dresses from their designer collections. Score.

Rodarte, $44.99

Proenza Schouler, $44.99

Thakoon, $39.99

Paging through the reissues, I’m reminded of how weird most of these collections were—the haute couture visions rendered in polyester with cotton stitching. Someone in Target’s legal department was paying attention to their contracts: most of these names are more famous now than they were when their collections first came out.

They were always a lot of (poor girl’s) fashion fun, way more accessible than H&M’s designer collections, and I hope Target keeps it up.

Anyone going to circle back for another addition to the closet?

Thanks Birgit, for the tip!

    I tried on several last night but they all fell just shy of being flattering, or the fabric was so thin I couldn’t envision wearing them. Bummer because I remember some of the earlier versions being super cute and looking more expensive.

      Hmm, I noted some complaints of the same ilk on Target’s website. I wonder if they actually downgraded the quality for the reissue? What a terrible idea.
