LouieJosh Goot to Release Target Range
May 21st 2007 05:41
Josh Goot, Australian fashion’s man-of-the-moment, will follow in Stella McCartney and fellow Australian designer, Alice McCall’s footsteps by releasing a collection for chain store, Target.
The relatively small, 12-piece collection will hit stores on 19 June, with prices ranging from $89.95 to $129.95.
Sporty, minimalist silhouettes and unusual fabric choices characterise this collection, which is includes several signature pieces.
The silver racer-back dress is classic Goot, and the longline hooded jacket is also a very interesting piece.
However, my favourite of the collection is the scoop back dress, pictured below.
As I have said before on this blog, I am not a fan of the designer-chain store hybrid, and this latest version has not swayed my mind, though I will reserve final judgement until I actually see the collection.
News.com.au has a very interesting article by David Meagher, fashion editor of The Australian Financial Review Magazine, who states that these hybrids are a way for designers to ease their production to China, as opposed to Western countries.
Although I don’t agree with everything that is said, it is well worth a read and his opinion of the economic influence on fashion is quite compelling. Read it here. Photographs are also courtesy of news.com.au.

I'm not a fan of this cross-over thing either. To me, it's all about making a quick buck at the expense of lower-middle income earners.
