A last minute gift idea

The newest GO International Collection announced back in August is finally set to hit Target stores on Dec. 20, just in time for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Merchandise from designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, creaters of Rodarte, will be sold at prices ranging from $9.99 to $79.99 and, according to the company, will include a variety of statement-making pieces. The Mulleavy’s have won acclaim from the fashion press for the Rodart line created in 2005, however the product offering may be hitting stores at the wrong time given weak demand in the apparel market for everything except basics. Conversely, Target SVP Trish Adams contends Rodart brings a couture sensibility to the GO International program with an acute eye for detail and appreciation for craftsmanship. Currently, Rodarte is sold in more than 40 of the world’s premier retailers and has attracted an international following of celebrities and fashion lovers around the globe, according to Target. Rodarte for Target exudes effortless style and sophistication, taking emotional inspiration from some of the designers’ favorite iconic leading women in film, including, Faye Dunaway in “Bonnie & Clyde,” Mia Farrow in “Rosemary’s Baby and Ruth Gordon in “Harold & Maude,” according to the company.
