Inside Zac Posen’s Line For Target

When the news broke this morning of Zac Posen’s appointment as the next GO International designer for Target, I can’t say I was surprised. Here’s a peek inside the making of this collection, as told to me by someone close to the project.

• Target hired manufacturing behemoth Li & Fung to design and produce the collection.
• The collection was created this fall. While the announcement is only happening now, it’s been completed since October.
• This isn’t too shocking, but Zac Posen didn’t actually design the collection. While he most certainly had input on what the pieces looked like, as well as final say, a team of designers at Li & Fung are the ones who put it together.
