Gap Design Editions Get 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders (Among Others) / Target Gets Botkier

+ Target, Gap, mass, class...I can barely keep all of this straight anymore! Anyway, many of you have probably remember when Gap lined up a pretty stellar line-up of design talent to create white shirts (and frocks) for their Design Editions initiative. Well, this year they're doing the same thing: they've got 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, Philip Crangi and Threeasfour for this spring. There's a teeny pic over at WWD.com; The shirts will be available at Gap Adult stores from April 15. This time, there will be men's items and jewelry available, diversifying the selections from last time. Crangi, for instance, will be making jewelry for the line, Lim created four pieces, including a bell-sleeve ruched top (I love bell sleeves), and Band of Outsiders is doing a patchwork tunic (in all white, of course).This is the part where everyone gets all skeptical and stuff, but I have the Rodarte tank from the last go-round and it still rocks, so I'm excited to see what comes up with this.

+ In other news, sources say that Target has just signed Botkier to do an accessories line. At this point, they must be raffling off guest lines left and right, but Botkier is very much a "most wanted" type of accessories label and this is good news for those who have coveted a Botkier bag but don't have, oh, a month of New York rent for one. Again, the trick is always to wait for the items to come out in real life; till then, I'm curious to see what Botkier comes up with for the mass retailer.
