Target and Altuzarra announce fall Collaboration.
The Altuzarra fashion house is celebrated for embodying a combination of French sophistication and American ease, appealing to refined, independent women. This fall, Altuzarra’s aesthetic arrives at Target. The collection features a mix of iconic Altuzarra silhouettes with designs created specifically for Target. It includes nearly 50 items.
“As a designer, I believe firmly in the transformative power of fashion. It has the ability to not only change how you look, but also how you feel,” said Joseph Altuzarra, the brand’s designer and creative director. “I’ve admired the elegance that Target brings to fast fashion. By working together on this capsule collection, we hope to instill a sense of power, confidence and beauty in women everywhere.”
“We are thrilled to be a part of this collaboration with Target and Altuzarra,” states Alison Loehnis, president, NET-A-PORTER.COM. “The collection is everything we have come to expect from Joseph’s aesthetic – chic, sophisticated and modern.”
Altuzarra for Target limited-edition collection of women’s ready-to-wear, accessories and shoes will be available Sept. 14 at most Target stores. Additionally, an edited assortment of the Target collection will be available globally at NET-A-PORTER.COM.
The Altuzarra fashion house continues to grow in popularity, with a strong celebrity following including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Bosworth, Cameron Diaz, Michelle Dockery and Cate Blanchett, among others. Born in Paris and raised by a Chinese-American mother and French father, Joseph attended Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and remained in the United States to begin his design career in New York City.
