Kate Young for Target

The other day, I walked into Target for my usual shopping visit, and to my surprise I came across some super cute leopard print bow-tie booties. 
Knowing Target usually carries shoe brands like Mossimo and Merona, I knew this couldn’t be a piece by either of the brands. I look up and come to see an advertisement above the shoes about a new collaboration that Target took on. Naturally, I got really excited because I am always so thrilled about Target’s brilliant collaborations. 
Their newest collaboration, Kate Young for Target, made its debut on April 14th.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Kate Young, she is one of Hollywood’s leading and most influential celebrity stylists – styling the wardrobes of familiar names such as Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams. She began her career in fashion at Vogue Magazine working closely with fashion muse Anna Wintour, and eventually made a name for herself. Today you can catch Kate Young working alongside major designers in the industry like Derek Lam and Jason Wu and assisting in their fashion shows. (Lam and Wu also happened to have Target collabs as well). She is also an expert in styling for Red Carpet events – which we all know I love and adore!
Her Target collaboration is based around one of America’s favorite formal, black tie affairs. That popular affair being the Prom… every high-school girl’s dream event. This collection fits the prom perfectly; she gives pieces that have flirty colors, girly patterns, and exquisite lacing and beading. Kate Young’s collection presents us with formal and semi-formal attire – something that Target hasn’t given us before. It’s a nice change because Target’s store itself does not provide us with floor-length dresses or even semi-formal dresses for such fabulous events, but now that Kate has arrived… the worries of finding that perfect prom dress is over… and as always, Target sells it to us at a magnificent price point.
Here are some of my favorites from the fantastic collection:

And of course, with a Target collaboration comes a sick premiere event for it!
Kate Young made her event into a pink prom themed party… which is quite fitting for the collection.
 So here are some of the most fashionable celebrities rocking some of her pieces!

I was honestly surprised to see Target bringing back another collaboration so soon, since Prabal Gurung’s collection made it’s debut in February. My only concern was that it was not advertised very well – I didn’t find out about this collaboration until I walked into the store! If only I knew about it sooner, I would have gotten my foot into Target the day of the debut. They could have utilized television commercials, magazine advertisements, and social media more.
 Nevertheless, I’m still excited about the collection and I’m also excited because with Target coming out with new collaborations within a two month period, this means another possible collaboration may make its way to Target shortly…!
What do you think about this collection?
