Target has already mastered the art of cheap chic fashion, but the Minneapolis-based retailer also knows how to throw a great party.
To celebrate the launch of the latest Shops at Target collections, the bull's-eye retailer hosted a preview event with editors from Vogue and O along with celebrities Hailee Steinfeld, Brooklyn Decker and Jessica Chastain.
They were among the first to get their hands on the collections, inspired by boutiques from across the country -- Kirna Zabete (women's), Odin (men's), the Curiosity Shoppe (trinkets and stationery) and Patch NYC (home).
Beth Buccini, co-owner of Kirna Zabete, said it was an "absolute dream" working with Target. Wearing a leopard-print jumper to the party, she was clearly thrilled with the collection. "It's how to bring downtown cool to America," she said.
You can channel Buccini's sense of style with the pieces of bold prints and colors of the Kirna Zabete for Target collection. She offered this insight to dressing for fall. "I love the rich colors of burgundies, hunter greens and emeralds and the brocades," she said, adding that most important, "it was really a power woman season."
Leveraging fashionFans of the TNT show "Leverage" (8 p.m., Sunday) are familiar with Beth Riesgraf's character, Parker, a quirky former thief who now puts her skills toward good. Like her TV persona, Riesgraf, a model-turned-actress, is all about being a chameleon. Originally from Belle Plaine, she went from a small town to Los Angeles and runways to on-camera. She called us to talk style.
Q What's your character Parker's style like?
A It has sort of varied over the years. She's a mix of tomboy and sweetness, but definitely has an edge to her. When she's in her thief mode she's more streamlined with the jackets, leggings, boots. And then when she's herself, she's comfy. She's the kind of girl who would wear a suit on a con and then go take a nap in it.
