Now that the Jovovich-Hawk for Target collection is set to release in March, in the interim Target announces its latest collaboration with Converse to offer One Star vintage inspired lifestyle apparel and footwear exclusively at Target beginning in February 2008. The One Star collection, offers exclusive lifestyle and vintage inspired contemporary sportswear collections for men and women, including denim, non-denim bottoms, knits, wovens, graphic tees, sweaters, dresses and outerwear. One Star footwear includes exclusive and limited edition product for men, women, and children.
For Target, the One Star collection focuses on the tension between classic sportswear and vintage athletic influences, juxtaposing track pants with tailored, rumpled oxfords. The collection consists of conventionally performance-based pieces with a modern aesthetic, resulting in everyday looks in wearable fabrics and stylish silhouettes.
One Star apparel presents a complete range of separates, including vintage-inspired denim, lightweight knitwear, graphic tees, polos, feminine dresses and contemporary outerwear, and updates it by incorporating unexpected stripes, metallics and pastel prints for spring. The One Star footwear collection draws inspiration from a century of heritage and includes limited-edition screen prints and color ways for men, women and kids. Each item in the collection boasts well-considered “hidden surprises” such as distinctive catch-phrases that read “Inspire Originality” and “Be Your Own,” adding authenticity to each design and creating value for Target guests.
Do you like any of this?
edit:
Forgot to give my own thoughts, I’m not really feelin’ this collection. The only thing I might consider buying are the Glitter Skimmers, but I’d have to see them in person first. This collection is not really my style, which is a good thing since I need to closet diet haha.

WOMEN
For women, traditional athletic pieces are updated with eye-catching details such as beading, sequins and metallics, taking a typically masculine silhouette and making it ultra-modern and feminine. Iconic eyelet grommets and half-moon details adorn pieces in the collection, calling attention to the brand’s signature style and vintage vibe. Varsity jackets, knit jersey tanks and fitted Henleys cater to the easygoing tomboy while A-line tunics and lace-trim camisoles in flirty fabrics and subdued shades appeal to the style-conscious woman. For summer, mixing the shine of silk with matte jersey fabrics on everyday pieces creates exciting ways to dress up a weary wardrobe. Dresses are beautifully detailed with twill taping and cinched waists, and allow greater versatility between work and weekend when worn alone or over fitted jeans. The One Star footwear collection offers women a variety of fabulous options – from preppy oxfords in must-have colors and polka-dots, to skimmers in shiny metallics and floral prints. The line also offers the basic court sneaker in white leather, and flip-flops in eye-popping hues that are perfect for warmer weather.

this is bad!!!
it all looks like children’s clothes.
glitter sneaker flats!? or the avril lavine getup in the 4th womens pic down.
henleys, knee length jean skirts, JACKET AROUND THE WAIST?!
this stuff looks a lot like (dare i say!! ) GAP!
and gap is headed to chapter 11 full speed ahead. (good luck piperlime…i like you!)
why does target throw around the term “limited edition”?
limited to what – 2 million pieces?!
then again, i don’t think this is really target’s problem. has anyone seem the eyesore that is converse by varvatos. for $115, he’ll wear your chucks in for you and add studs, a la hot topic.
sweet.
wendy- you didnt say what you thought of it…
i’d like to know.

I love Converse and most of these clothes fit into my casual chic style. However, I am not really feeling the shoes that much. I think I’ll stick with my obsession of the traditional Chuck Taylors!

The clothes look okay in pictures. Very simple, but I like simple. I’ll definitely hit up target to check out this collection, definitely get a pair of sneakers for the gym, they’re cute.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:29 pm
The polka dot skimmers is cute. I’m definitely going to check that out.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I like it! I’m def gonna go see it in person.

this makes me sad
=(
except the “Striped Skidgrip in Blue/White”

A couple of the dresses look like they might be cute — but like all of the Target stuff, it’s hard to tell without seeing it in person first.
The rest of it is just kind of American Eagle/Abercrombie/Hollister blah.

OK the men’s collection looks really boring. They look like regular Taget’s menswear pieces. On the other hand, the women’s collection is nice. The grey papar fabric wrap dress looks too nice to be from Converse. The menswear industry in this country is really going nowhere!

i was at target last night to pick up like 2 things and i literally ran into this collection at the shoe section… i ended up buyin the glitter skimmers. at first you get all like scared because it’s like glitter and you think hella bright and all but it’s not that bad. they’re me. i’m wearing them today. jeans and tee status. they have a pair of the sneakers that reminds me of a pair that i bought once when i was in london. they had to be one of my fav sneakers bc of the color…gun metal.

I went to Target today, and had no idea it would even be out. A lot of the things pictured, I didn’t even see. But the stuff at mine in Florida, was cute, and at a very reasonable price. I got a cute Jacket in Federal Blue for $24.99. The quality is GREAT. Sometimes with the GO! Brand, its cheapy feeling, but expensive. That is not the case with this sporty jacket.
I also bought a VERY flattering dress for $29.99. It actually looks really cute with the jacket over it too. Sorry I can’t post pictures, but no one give up hope just yet. These two pieces are fantastic.

Sorry, one more thing. I usually wear a size 4 in dresses, jeans, short. But the dress I bought was a size 6, so I wonder if you have to size up with everything.
