Saunders Sails Into Target

Today I was inspired to jaunt to my local Target store for a piece of the new Jonathan Saunders collection. I have been excited about the designer’s capsule ever since Target announced the latest GO International designer. For those of you who are not familiar with Target’s collaboration, GO International is a limited-time collection of women’s apparel created by up and coming fashion designers at affordable prices. Past collections have included works of Richard Chai, Alice Temperley and Proenza Schouler.

The Scottish born designer has shown his ready-to-wear collection during London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week in recent seasons. Saunders’ appreciation for unique design has made him popular with the British fashion crowd and thankfully, he has emulated his love for bold colors and prints in his collaboration with Target. His art-inspired pieces were influenced by artists such as Mark Rothko and Gustav Klimt, as seen in some of the color blocking patterns in the knit dresses and the ombre skirts and the kaleidoscope screen tees.

The featured pictures above are of one of my favorite looks from Saunders' designs. The kaleidoscope tee is a nice length that can be worn with jeans for a casual look. In the second picture, I changed the look with a knit ponte skirt in black which is also from the collection. I am impressed with the great fit and the beautiful details of the tuxedo stripe along the sides and the high-waist with the exposed zipper. Grab these pieces of art while they are still available at a Target store in your area or on Target.com. Have fun shopping!
