Fashion Collab: Target x Altuzarra.

Target has done it yet again!

The retail mogul is collaborating with high-fashion brand Altuzarra for a collection.

According to Nylon Mag "When it comes to designer collabs, Target's history really does span all over the map. The retail giant has channeled California femininity with Rodarte, effortless cool with Proenza Schouler, and prints from across the pond with its most recent partnership with Peter Pilotto. And now for fall, Target's taking things downtown--like, way  below 14th Street--by joining forces with Altuzarra

Since establishing his namesake label in 2008, Joseph Altuzarra has won a cult following for his luxe, sophisticated pieces with a decidedly edgy undertone. Think minimalist blouses with sheer paneling, silk draped dresses, and leather--lots of it. There's a reason why everyone from Vanessa Traina (his muse) to Kate Bosworth to Jennifer Lawrence are so obsessed. These are clothes that you can slip on and feel like a cooler, more confident version of yourself. As Altuzarra puts it, "As a designer, I believe firmly in the transformative power of fashion. It has the ability to not only change how you look, but also how you feel." Luckily everyone can feel that way this fall, when his Target collection drops nationwide.

Get ready for 50 items, from apparel to lingerie to accessories, priced between $17.99 to $89.99. So start saving up now and mark your calendar for September 14 when the collection hits stores. Watch this space for a sneak peek at what's to come...but for now, check out our favorite Altuzarra looks here. "

Madewell's Spring 2014 Lookbook.

Somsack Sikhounmuong is the new designer for Madewell and he is giving us a sneak peek of the brand's Spring 2014 collection.

Don't we all like sneak peeks? I know I do!

For the spring/summer lookbook there is unkempt hair, half-tucked tops, a bit of nautical influence, and lots of denim.

 It's a collection of visual inspiration for the casual-chic French girls we all on some level strive to be.
 ELLE has taken the liberty to interview Somsack.

See below:

"Does this collection represent a new direction for Madewell, or was it more important to stick to the company’s signature aesthetic?

For me it's about capturing both—the new and the signature. A good example is our denim. We've worked really hard to maintain what we love—cool washes, great fits—while keeping it fresh by introducing new fabrics and bodies. There's a killer pair of overalls for spring that I'm excited about; they are slimmer and sexier.

How would you describe the girl who wears this collection?

Effortless, cool and considered.

What’s the key to striking the chic balance that's portrayed in the look book?

Casual but never sloppy. All those touches—a rolled up jean, half tucked shirt—make an outfit more personal. There are so many different versions of the roll: one, two, half tuck, left half, right half, skinny half or generous half…I could go on. What you choose to do makes your look yours! So experiment and try a few things out to find what feels natural and looks good.

There’s definitely a french influence to the collection. What was the inspiration behind this?

Travel was key for Spring '14 at Madewell. We looked to a lot of places for inspiration and, yes, were influenced by French dressing. I have always had an affinity for french style. There's an off-handed easy but always put together take on dressing that I gravitate towards.

Is the baseball hat the new “It” accessory?

I can't pick just one! I love a baseball hat but for this spring, you're also going to need a pair of our new chunkier sandals, a small cross body bag and one (or two) of our sash belts to go with it. "
