Target Ups the Ante Again

Target keeps upping its style ante with limited-edition additions such as the hot line from Proenza Schouler, nominated for this year’s women’s wear fashion award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The latest debut is the Rafe for Target accessories collection, which re-interprets its pricey uptown-meets-downtown handbags and shoes at less than $50. Look for great summer straw and linen bags and sassy flip-flops.

For guys, the Keanan Duffty for Target clothing line, referencing the London punk-rock circuit, is inspired by Duffty’s own days as a musician. Look for multi-patterned shirts with colorful button details, plaid shorts and vintage-inspired graphic T’s.
