It is time for Target’s next designer collaboration, this time with the 2014 Council of Fashion Designers of America Womenswear Designer of the Year, Joseph Altuzarra. The highly anticipated collection, comprised of nearly 50 pieces, priced $18 to $90, recently became available starting Sept. 14 in Target stores nationwide and on Target and Net-A-Porter’s websites.
As fashion week sets in New York, it is just rising in London. The designers, the models and the stars will all shine again on the runways, but that’s where the similarities end.
