We all love a collaboration. Whether it’s a household name taking on an obscure label, or a retail stalwart flexing its cool by tapping a few fresh young things, something magical happens when two names come together. Or, in the case of the super collaboration between Neiman Marcus and Target, make that no less than 24 names for one hotly anticipated holiday collection.
This major collaboration—which will no doubt become legendary—features 50 limited-edition products, and as this is the ultimate high/low collaboration, you can expect prices to range accordingly.
The collection comprises of clothing for kids, women and men, jewelry, luggage, sporting equipment, kitchen accessories and even some treats for the pampered pets, including a whimsical floral and lace detailed Oscar de la Renta collar and leash.
Other highlights include a constellation-inspired, hand-painted on hand-blown glass ornament from Rodarte, and some super fly wrapping paper from the talented sisters. Diane von Furstenberg, she of the iconic wrap dress, may be trying to share some inner peace with us this season with a patterned yoga mat. Lela Rose, who’s best known for embellished and feminine frocks has a totally accessible lace and silk-cotton blend shell, perfect for holiday parties.
The top shelf item of this collection may be the whimsical bicycle from Alice and Olivia. The floral bike with lime green accents and a basket will be the spring’s must-have accessory—so don’t delay! For those who prefer four wheels, snag a Derek Lam skateboard, perfect for the fashionable hipster.
Other participating brands include Altuzarra, Band of Outsiders, Brain Atwood, Carolina Herrera, Derek Lam, Eddie Bargo, Jason Wu, Judith Leiber, Marc Jacobs, Marchesa, Phillip Crangi, Prabal Gurung, Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, Robert Rodriguez, Skaist-Taylor, Thom Brown, Tory Burch and Tracy Reese.
Best of all, as this is the season for giving, Target and Neiman Marcus will donate $1 million of the proceeds to the Council of Fashion Designers of America—of which all of the participating designers are members of.
The collection is in stores now!
