Goodbye, Isaac. And hello, hello to Alexander McQueen.  Sort of. Target announced that they will do a series of collections with designers, separate from the young designers featured with the “Go International” line. The new “Designer Collaborations” will debut with McQueen’s diffusion of his McQ diffusion line. Confused? It will be called McQ Alexander McQueen for Target.

According to Women’s Wear Daily:

McQ Alexander McQueen for Target will feature lightweight sweaters, skinny jeans, bubble dresses, slim skirts and cuffed shorts. Signature pieces include a coated cotton poplin black trench, a rock ’n’ roll gray denim cropped studded jacket, a men’s wear-inspired tuxedo blazer and a color-blocked one-shoulder dress with bubble hem. The collection also will include swimwear and cotton voile print scarves. Price points were not yet available.

I’m guessing this will be the biggest fashion line at Target and will be competitive with the high-profile H&M collaborations such as Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfeld. Plus, unlike those H&M lines, we’ll probably get them here first.

Shout-outs to anyone who spots McQueen (that’s him below!) visiting Minneapolis…lurking around Target headquarters, perhaps?
