Target+Neiman Marcus= Holiday Gift Victory

If this isn’t on your radar, it should be.  Target and Neiman Marcus are getting together for one legendary partnership. The dynamic duo have created a limited-time only holiday collection by 24 of today’s top CFDA designers with 50 gorgeous holiday gifts. Available Dec. 1 in both Target and Neiman Marcus stores nationwide, you can take a peek for yourself at NeimanMarcus.com.

This collection includes over 50 items ranging in price from $7.99 to $499.99, with most items less than $60.  The line-up of exceptional designers boasts an impressive roster: Alice + Olivia, Altuzarra, Band of Outsiders, Brian Atwood, Carolina Herrera, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Eddie Borgo, Jason Wu, Judith Leiber, Lela Rose, Marchesa, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Philip Crangi, Prabal Gurung, Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, Robert Rodriguez, Rodarte, Skaist-Taylor, Rodarte,Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Tracy Reese, Tory Burch,  and more…

If you are wondering about how this amazing and eclectic grouping came together.  The designers were given the freedom to explore categories they felt strongly about—some chose to create products that fell into their area of expertise, while others took this as an opportunity to explore an entirely new category. The result: Each designer put his and her own personal twist on their item. Each so unique, it is truly a once in a lifetime holiday opportunity!

When am I ever going to be able to say that I got Jason Wu ornaments, Rodarte wrapping paper or an Alice + Olivia bike? And there is something for everyone! I am lusting for Oscar de la Renta’s dog collar and leash, Diane Von Furstenberg’s yoga mat and Alice + Olivia’s suitcase!

All of the participating designers are proud members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), which is why Target and Neiman Marcus will also be donating $1 million to the council. The donation underscores the duo’s longstanding commitment to design and innovation, and will be used to support fashion design talent through scholarships, mentoring and business development programs
