Christopher Kane's Collection for Topshop



British designer Christopher Kane launches a new Fall line for Topshop NEXT month! He has designed dresses, separates, shoes and even handbags for the collection. And the prices range from 60 to 310 dollars. Although this does sound pricey - it's much more affordable than Kane's High end line (plus hopefully this means they DON'T skimp on quality like other store's designer lines *achem Target*)

We love the studded pieces and all the pretty detailing. The line looks like a great mix of feminine and rocker chic. LOVE those Lady Gaga-esq tap pants seen above!

Anna Sui for Target: Gossip Girl Inspired



The first photos of Anna Sui's line for Target has surfaced. They are all based on the characters of the hit show "Gossip Girl." The photos seen above are based on the character "Jenny." Jenny and Vanessa inspired duds seem to be my favorite. (Vanessa pictured below). From what i've seen, Serena's fell very flat and Blair's were not bad, but somewhat out of character.


Would love to get our Culturista paws on Vanessa's scrunchy brown boots!

The line will be in stores and online September 13 through October 17. To see more photos of the collection, click here: NYMAG
