Style.com announced some more information regarding the upcoming Jason Wu x Target collaboration yesterday; notably, they posted a few look book images. A full set of looks has yet to be released, but what’s out so far is textbook Wu; feminine, classic, and if not good girl-gone-bad, well, then, good girl-taking-bad-under-consideration.
The images here are the ones style.com has; they report that the collection will consist of 53 items—that’s 350 shy of the giant mass of specially designed Missoni gear that hit Target in September.
Wu told the style site,"The focus isn’t just getting Jason Wu at a lower price point, it was about creating an entirely new collection that I think my regular customers will enjoy, too.”
Regular customers and bargain hunters alike can trek to the West Seattle, Southcenter, Kent, and Everett Target stores on the first Sunday in February to check it out. If I were intent on getting into the low-price lace tee-shirts and short skirts, I’d trek outside of the metropolitan area and hit up a store in the ’burbs.
I’m not saying they don’t know who Wu is in, say, Snohomish County, but I’m betting the lines won’t be quite as long. Then again, will the selection be as good?
Wu’s Target looks may well be at other target shops across the state; you should call around in the direction of your choice and check. The initial customer service reps at the aforementioned stores didn’t have a sliver of a clue what I was talking about when I first called, but upon explanation (“it’s like the Missoni collection, W-U.”) they were able to investigate and report back. The Northgate number, btw, just rang and rang and rang and rang …

I’ll be waiting in line outside the Everett location, since I totally missed out on the Missoni launch. I’ll let you know what they have. I’m hoping you’re right – the shopkeepers and citizens of Snohomish County will have no clue who this designer is and I won’t have to elbow anyone on my way through the sliding doors.
Gee whiz whillickers, we back country hicks in Snohomish County would never have a clue about that high fashion stuff. We are still sporting big hair and shoulder pads from the 80’s ya know. That is complete bs and King County bias at its worst. Get real and get a life outside Seattle
totally agree with cathy! amazes me that such backward comments can still be made. somehow being 20 minutes north of king county keeps snohomish county folks in the dark about what’s out there in world of high fashion and designers? puh-leeze people!
Hi there all,
I wanted to address these comments. In the post above, the mention of the out-of-the-way Target stores has everything to do with population density, and I feel like that is pretty clearly stated. I’m sorry if the meaning was misunderstood, but less populated areas are bound to be less crowded than denser urban areas. I think Tina was probably kidding when she made her comment, and I’m assuming she made a slight misinterpretation of my meaning — I did not say the shopkeepers and citizens would have no clue, in fact, I tried to be clear that I wasn’t saying that.
In the end I think we should all unite in our love for low-priced designer clothes
-and short lines! That’s what’s at issue here.thanks!
