Jonathan Saunders for Target?

It's good to know that, through the wonders of the Internet, I can still keep apace with fashion news even when I'm traipsing through the dusty sois of Bangkok a whole hemisphere away. And the latest news for those interested in the next designer mass-market collaboration is how British designer Jonathan Saunders is rumored to be in talks with Target to be the next Go International designer. Saunders could follow in the footsteps of Erin Fetherston (from this winter) and Jovovich-Hawk (this upcoming spring); as you all well know, the likes of Proenza Schouler, Paul & Joe, Alice Temperley, Behnaz Sarafpour and Luella Bartley have all been alumni of the Go International banner, which highlights "emerging" talents in fashion (as opposed to the 'heavy-hitters' that H&M, for instance, tends to go after.) Saunders is best known for his unique prints, but if you've been keeping up with his shows, you know that a certain artful interpretation of body-con dressing has emerged as a constant in his designs, along with a bold use of color and a clean use of line. Should be interesting to see how Saunders interprets his aesthetic on the cheap, but we may have a bit of a preview, since he'll be doing a capsule collection for British retailer Topshop, set to bow later this month.

Below, some pics from his spring 2008 show:
