.: Prabal Gurung for Target

A new year has begun, and as we draw the blinds on a bleak and rainy January, we are that much closer to dare I say it...SPRING 2012. The forecast calls for simple black and white outfits making a splash in department stores, but as the sun starts to peak it's head out of the clouds, bring on the bright colors. This trend is illustrated most definitely in the most anticipated collection for Target since Missoni, Prabal Gurung debut's his 80+ piece collection on February 10th, 2013 in Target's worldwide. While smaller than the Missoni collection, not including housewares, the collection packs a punch of prismatic floral prints that is sure to turn heads. Mark your calenders for February 10th, I don't know how long this collection will be available for. I will personally be lined up bright and early at 7:30 AM outside my local Target, waiting for the doors to open at 8 AM. Will there be a clamor of people waiting to get in? I'll have to wait and see. I have a strong feeling that some of the more fashion forward Canadian girls will sacrifice an early morning to cross the border to get their hands on this already wallet friendly, chic collaboration. Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect to see.
