The fashion world is abuzz with excitement about the collaboration between high-end fashion designer Altuzarra and the budget super-store Target. The collection will launch this Sunday morning (September 14) in-store and online at Target. Select items will also be available at Net-A-Porter. If there are items you know you must have, I would recommend waking up extra early to snag them. Past collections have seen long lines and items quickly selling out. Last fall, I stayed up all night waiting for a Philip Lim for Target bag to be released. It finally became live between 3-4AM. While it was tough staying up, I was thankful I had, because by 9:30AM the bag had sold out. So there you go- a fair warning about what you can expect. Now on to the fun stuff...
The collection embodies the sophisticated, yet sexy designs that Altuzarra is known for. Additionally, with the dark color scheme, full of burgundies and deep greens, most pieces are great for fall and can easily be carried over into winter months. Lookbooks have been shared on the web, but I am here to offer a condensed guide on the best items to purchase.
Pick 1
What: Military Trench Coat in Green/Black
Why: This type of coat has become a staple for many over the past few seasons. I particularly like this one because of the structured details and the flared silhouette. Joseph Altuzarra has also named this as one of his favorites from the collection, stating, “The Trench Coat is a staple piece that makes any outfit look more polished. It fits everyone who tries it on perfectly and looks incredible expensive.”
Price: $89.99

Pick 2
What: Wrap Dress in Red
Why: This is my personal favorite from the collection. It exemplifies the previously mentioned, sophisticated yet sexy vibe that Altuzarra is known for. I think that the color is beautiful and vampy and that the fit would be flattering so many different figures, especially from behind ;) Overall, it is a great pick for upcoming holiday parities!
Price: $39.99

Pick 3
What: Sweatshirt in Orchid Print
Why: Well the obvious reason is that it is comfortable AND pretty! But that's only half of it. The graphic sweatshirt has also been a big trend, especially last fall. This particular item is a great way to carry the trend into this season, but the orchid design is more mature than many of the more playful prints we have been seeing. Thus, the sweater is quite a versatile option: comfy and cute, but not at all childish.

I wish we had Target in the UK I always see so many great brands from there! Love the military style trench coat x

Yes, Target is a great store to have around, and I especially love the designer collabs! I looked up the trench coat on Target's website, and it's supposed to be one of the items sold on Net-A-Porter. Maybe you can snag it there since they ship to the UK ;)
