New York - Target has been successful with its designer collaboration and it's no surprise they are going to keep going. The latest designer collection is Anna Sui's Gossip Girl-inspired line and the next collection could be with Jean Paul Gaultier. Well, okay right now it's just a rumor but it would be interesting to see what the designer comes up with for a Target collection if this happens. Sources tell WWD that it's "a long way off" for the collection to happen but Target "has the ball in motion." There were no comment from the designer's camp but representatives from the discount retailer express their admiration for Gaultier. "We don't have anything to share other than we admire his work and incredible design aesthetic," they said. [Story/Images via NYMagazine]
