As much as my boyfriend cringes at the sight of animal print, as I am sure many of you do, I cannot get enough of chic leopard. There is something about the very gaudy that attracts me. That is the reason I cannot stop buying gold! Maybe my influence comes from my riot grrrl days of Doc Martens, fishnets and leopard or my former love for Gwen Stefani. Whatever the case, this urge hasn’t vanished in my twenties and who knows if it ever will. I might end up like my 70+ year old red-headed friend named Susan Allen who only wears cheetah print and orange. Probably not, but she’s so amazing I had to mention her.
Target brought us the glory of Gregory Rogan these past few months, and the response has been huge. Rogan for Target has by far been the best Go International collection ever produced. Plus, the dress is still on sale for $39.99. It is no surprise that Forever 21 has tried to capitalize on this fabulous collection, by producing their own Safari Tunic. Definitely a doppelgänger. Animal print surely holds no copyright, but if you’re going to chose between the two, opt for Rogan’s environmentally-conscious silk dress.

As many other blogs will have you believe, Rogan for Target at Barneys (BH) was crazy! I wouldn’t exactly say that. There was a decent sized (20) group of girls/ladies but no one was elbowing their way to a rack full of dresses. In fact, unlike Kate Moss for Top Shop at Barneys, there seemed to be many items to go around. Customers weren’t frantic for the last burlap skirt – there were 40 of them! This made our shopping experience much more pleasant.
Unlike any other GO INTERNATIONAL capsules before this, Rogan had a unique quality rarely found at Target. My two favorite dresses (pictured) feel absolutely lovely on the skin, and I would highly recommend them to the girl who isn’t afraid of the often too dangerous to wear, animal print. Plus, if you stop by Barneys these next 3 days you might leave with a complimentary eco-chic Rogan tote as I did. (more photos after the jump)

The fashion intelligentsia cannot believe they are posting back to back Target stories, but as you know there is no shortage of fashion news.
We were overjoyed when we first heard the announcement of Rogan as the next Go International designer. We were shocked when we read reports that Barneys wanted to carry the collection in support of of their dear friend Rogan. That’s right, you will now be shopping for Target clothes at Barneys. Interesting side note – when my boyfriend and I waited to get our hands on Kate Moss for Topshop, he made a prediction that one day we’d be buying Target from this store. Psychic?
Barneys will be carrying the collection for a mere 5 days, so if you want to the preview the merchandise, it will arrive in New York and Los Angeles on May 8 and 15. For those of you who have to wait, don’t worry, we’ll let you know how it is. With photos of course.
