Target Australia has tapped Zac Posen to design their next Designers for Target collection launching in stores April 3rd (Australia only). This time Target will be stocking a much smaller run in fear of the fate of Stella McCartney’s line which resulted in it being heavily discounted. According to SMH, the Zac Posen clothes will be available in only 75 of the 276 Target and Target Country stores. The range will be priced from $49.99 for a belt to $299.99 (AU) for a replica of a dress that actress Katherine Heigl wore to the Emmy Awards (see image below). In an effort to drum up hype for the Posen range, only 50 of the the Heigl dresses will be available, a Target spokeswoman said.
Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect from the collection, too bad it’s only available in Australia! Thanks to reader Michelle for the tip! Pictures after the jump…

Posted By: Kiks | February 28th, 2008 at 1:17 pmUmm… In the college program I am in my group works closely with Target representatives. Target has no international stores. Target Australia has nothing to do with the Target we all know about here in America. They are a knock off of Target. So I really do not know if this is true or if it will just be in the US
Posted By: Nikki | February 28th, 2008 at 7:18 pmJulia, what is a CP???? If that means you buying one of us American girls something from the Posen line, then god bless you. Let me know what you mean.

Posted By: Sammy | February 28th, 2008 at 8:57 pmNikki - Target in Australia is similar to Target in the US.
It is true that Zac Posen for Target will be available in Australia on April 3.

Officially. Pissed.
Posted By: Sean's Girl | March 2nd, 2008 at 12:44 amI work for Target and am just as disappointed that designers like Zac Posen and Stella McCartney aren’t tapped for the US. I have a feeling about the reason, however. These high end designers demand a certain quality of work that translates into higher priced merchandise. Sadly enough, the general American public may not be open to “expensive” items because Target is considered cheap chic. Therefore, higher end merchandise may not be a profitable venture in the US for Target. *sigh* I hope I’m proven wrong in the future though because I don’t care if it’s out of the typical Target shopper’s price range! I want glamour!!
