McQueen Makes Topshop Jab, Mermaid Tattoo Dresses for Target November 5, 2008 2:28 pm >> Ever the enfant terrible grown up, Alexander McQueen has already used his new McQ partnership with Target to thumb his nose at Topshop. Now that the collaboration has gone public, the invitation for the McQ pressday, which read, "Chopshop, Higher Street Fashion," makes for an obvious dig, since McQueen is taking his British business elsewhere.Speaking of the McQ-Target deal, a few more details have come to light. The initiative that McQueen is kick-starting for Target, Designer Collaborations, involves established designers picking a muse to work from; Lee chose Leila Moss, lead singer of The Duke Spirit, to inspire his collection of studded sleeveless shirtdresses, zipper cardigans, tuxedo blazers, gray denim studded jackets, skinny jeans, and mermaid tattoo-printed strapless dresses.*image: source
McQueen for Target is So On November 4, 2008 12:50 pm >> It was a crazy rumor in August, and now it's crazily true. Target has been courting Alexander McQueen — and he's obliged. In March, the mass retailer is launching a new fashion initiative, Designer Collaborations, which sounds very similar to what H&M does every holiday season — bring well-established designers in to do clothes at Target prices.First up? Alexander McQueen, who will be drawing from his McQ collection — not McQueen mainline — for his limited-run McQ Alexander McQueen for Target line, in stores March 1 through April 11, with rock'n'roll influence, studs, and tattoo-print fabrics all in mind. Go International will still be continuing, because it focuses on emerging designers, and additional Designer Collaborations are said to be in the pipeline.*image: source
