Bubbling Up: Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

[slideshow]

Fashion’s bad boy is going mainstream! Jean Paul Gaultier will be coming out with a line for retailer Target’s Designer Collaborations. The French designer is bringing his trademark Breton-inspired stripes to the masses, along with punk-inspired graphics and busy prints. What’s surprising is how tame the collection is! Don’t get it twisted – there are a few pieces that we instantly coveted. There’s a classic trench coat made modern by black stripes and pointy collars, a couple of eye graphic tees done in unusual cuts, some bouncy and bustier dresses, tattoo-printed pieces, and neat leather jackets. The rest of the collection consists of plain tops and dresses, some of which looked a little too sweet. Where’s the bad in bad boy? See the line for yourself when it comes out on March 7.
