Possible Proenza Schouler/Target Stores Deal

According to Wednesday's WWD, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of
Proenza Shouler have been in talks with Target to possibly carry a
line in Target stores. Nothing is definite, but it is possible the
pair will design a collection for Target's "Go International"
campaign, which launches next month. Luellla Bartley will be one of
the first designers showcased when "Go" launches.
While we in the south continue to wait for H&M, at least we have
Target. :)

OK, I give up. What's a Proenza Shouler?

There was a recent article (NYTimes? NYMagazine? can't recall) about
how Target is feeling the effects of Wal–Mart's new upscale fashion
line breathing down their necks. The addition of Proenza Shouler and
Luella Bartley, along with Isaac and also Cynthia Rowley, is an attempt
to up the ante.
Since I won't patronize Wal–Mart, I'm very happy that Target is taking
steps to one–up them.

Is the George line the upscale line that Wal–Mart is promoting? I was
underwhelmed when I went. It had been about 2+ years since I've
stepped
foot in a Wal–Mart store, and decided to go to check it out. What a
mess, I
couldn't find what I was looking for in various departments, and I
left
without purchasing a thing. I didn't even check out the cosmetics
<gasp>.

Maybe I'm just not digging deep enough, but clothes at Target and Wal
Mart are just 'throw away' items. I don't shop in upscale shops, but
my money is too hard earned to buy the stuff that lasts *hopefully*
for
one season. Both stores are great for toiletries and some houseware
stuff and the occasional makeup purchase, but never clothes. Oh, I
did
buy some Xhilaration and Cherokee thermal sleep pants last year, but
that's been my only clothing purchase there. The Xhilaration brand is
much better than the Cherokee with my limited experience shopping for
wearables at this store.
Perhaps I need to look closer??

I've bought some pretty decent underwear there (Target) that is really
comfy
and I feel pretty good for what I pay for. I've bought a few Nick &
Nora
PJs that are great. I did buy a stretchy v neck Mossimo shirt that I
really
don't like, but found a jacket that is *great* and nicely made. I've
gotten
two pairs of sunglasses, gloves (and promptly lost one) and a great
scarf.
As for Walmart, call me superficial, but it is so messy there, that I
don't
find it a pleasure to shop. Therefore I probably won't buy anything.

If you want messy go to Ross where I live.

Our Wal–Mart stores are actually very nicely maintained.

Wal–mart is relatively new to our valley. I think the first
super store is no more than 10 years old.

I don't expect a lot from inexpensive clothing but as jjjjjulie pointed
out, sometimes you can really find great garments. Also, sometimes my
higher end stuff (do you hear me Anthropologie?) isn't worth the price
I pay .

My major complaint is they're stacked too high and you see too much of
the internal building construction.

That's because they propagate in concentric circles from Bentonville,
Arkansas.
They had a very nice store when I lived in Alabama in 1982. Better
than what KMart and Woolco had at the time.
Do you hear me, Ralph Lauren?

Target doesn't always carry as "big" of clothes (size wise, I am
talking) as Walmart. I stocked up on sale basic black & white v neck
t shirts at Walmart size 30/32 which I have never seen clothes that
"big" at Target b4. Now I have lost a substantial amount of weight so
I can wear some of the Target plus sized stuff, but our 2 Target
stores here in MN are severely lacking in the plus sized dept. They
don't have a lot of things like larger sized Hanes or JMS panties as
well. That is really my only Target complaint. I think that our
Targets in MN here are very clean for the most part, their
accessories, makeup selection, etc rivals Walmart in price, quality,
and availability now that they brought back NYC Cosmetics (they had
d/c'ed cheaper lines such as NYC Cosmetics) and their big jewelry
dept/purse dept is wonderful as well. I only go to Walmart
infrequently to stock up on "basics" like white t shirts, panties in
packages, and that sort of thing. Not a fan of Walmart (not for
political reasons, I couldn't care less really, call me irresponsible
if you will...) but because the people there are all really ready to
run you over with their carts, customers act rude & inconsiderate,
parking sucks (I have a handicapped permit, still cannot find good
parking!!), no one puts their carts into the corrals when they are
done shopping, and so on. I really am a big Walgreens fan for
toiletries anyways so I go there for that stuff coz I need to get my
prescriptions there. And the only thing I don't like about Walgreens
is no access to public bathrooms that I know of....which is weird coz
it's a pharmacy and what if you have uncontrollable nausea or
diarrhea??

Can you find merchandise in your size on line? My mil wore a plus size
18–20 before her illness and I found that all the stores had limited stock
in her size.
