Thank You Isaac!

Let us give thanks to Isaac and the gods of Target. Mr. Mizrahi and the Powers-that-Be at Tar-jay started the movement we now refer to as “fashion for the masses.” The first Isaac Mizrahi for Target collection brought affordable luxury to every woman regardless of her bank balance.

Isaac was the pioneer who led a caravan of designers over the chasm and into the mainstream. Dominique Cohen, Loeffler Randall, Devil Kroell and Joy Gryson all followed behind the daring trendsetter, and fashion was never the same.

Payless joined the game with its shoes and bags from Lela Rose and Kohls now carries Simply Vera from Vera Wang. But Target has always done it best.

The retail giant’s latest offering is no exception. For its next limited-edition accessories collaboration, Target is partnering with renowned designer Monica Botkier. Stylish and affordable, the Botkier for Target handbags line will be the seventh collection in a series of limited-time-only accessories from Target. The line will be available at select stores and online from July 20 through September 14. Prices range from $19.99 to $49.99.

The collection includes clutches, wristlets, satchels and hobos in basic black, bold fuchsia and luxe metallics. The best part is that Botkier has incorporated the Target bullseye logo into the line as a signature hardware piece, and it doubles as a removable key chain.

Immediately following the Botkier collection will be Anya Hindmarch for Target coming this fall. Watch this blog for details.

OMG, I'm so excited! Does this line make shoes, too? I'm always looking for some nice feet to match my clutch.

This is perfect! At that price you won't mind placing that handbag in the back of the closet when the fashion trend is over.

Are you quite serious about Anya Hindmarch...I think I have died and gone to heaven. Now if only Lulu Guinness would follow suit.
