Erin Fetherston for Target

This GO collection is made of meh. Nothing too exciting from the pictures. This, however,  is so awful it goes all the way around the block and turns the corner back to good. Enthusiast will have it, and will likely be digging her wallet and keys out of the bottom tip continuously.

Bowie by Keanan Duffty for Target

October 26th, 2007 · No Comments

A Go designer for menswear at Target? Apparently yes. Enthusiast only noticed because she purchased this month’s Out magazine with John Barrowman on the cover (he’s dreamy).

This shirt would look fantastic under a jacket and with a head scarf and some big tacky earrings.
