Zac Posen for Target: The First Look

The first images of Zac Posen's collection for Target were posted today by Fashionista and I have to say, it's not half bad. Target has been rolling out their collaborations pretty quickly of late and just as we got to digest the Rodarte for Target collection, we have a new one on its way. The 21 looks are oh-so Zac with fun flirty dresses, sexy swimsuits, and bold prints. My favorite looks are the top three, but that's mostly because the remind me of Proenza Schouler. The collection will be available starting April 25.

If this isn't enough, the lookbook for Jean Paul Gaultier's Target collection surfaced this week.

Calvin Klein loves Constance

What did we tell you? First Campaign of the year to come out featuring Constance Jablonski is Calvin Klein S/S 10 shot by Craig McDean. We love the minimalist style and bright colours, but really we can’t take our eyes off those cheek bones! Constance is walking proof that Elite Model Look contestants can make it as supermodels.

Alexandra Cassaniti Summer #4

I've been a huge fan of Alexandra Cassaniti's Summer-themed collections for a while. Nothing makes me happier than her playful use of neoprene and relaxed cuts. When she recently came out with her vial necklaces, a collaboration with Unearthen jewelry, it was an indication of more good things to come. The preview for her upcoming collection, Summer #4, does not disappoint with a softer palette and new materials. Even with all of the awesome neoprene, I'm most excited about the bags, especially the clear PVC one.

Vogue's Fashion Resolutions Condensed

Ever mindful of incentives towards sartorial self-improvement, here are just some of the things we promise to do in 2010. For the full story, see Vogue’s 20 New Year Shopping Resolutions in the January issue.

1. Hang up the Breton (just the T-shirts, that is). Now, it’s all about the striped jacket.

2. Learn to don leather with the nonchalance of a Céline girl.

3. Differentiate right from wrong. Eg: Gainsbourg is right; Gaga is wrong.

4. From now on, our white tees will be ultra-cheap and frequently replaced.

5. Lower the tone – this year we’re going to be working flat or mid-rise heels.

I say: pick up a pair of rectangular frames like the ones above and you're all set for 2010.

Next Models Fresh Faces in Russh

Next's Fresh Faces as seen in Russh Jan/Feb 2010 photographed by Chadwick Tyler. Creepy and amazing.

Rachel Rutt (top) is definitely my current obsession. Her modeling in 3.1 Phillip Lim's Resort lookbook is probably what made me want this lace number so badly.
