On the heels of the recent Missoni Madness that Target subjected upon itself, the discount retailer recently revealed that it would be delivering another glorious designer collection from the fashion gods. This time, it’s Jason Wu.
For those of you unfamiliar with Wu, he just so happens to be a favorite designer of, geez I don’t know, MICHELLE OBAMA! In fact, she wore a Wu design for the Inaugural Ball – KIND OF A BIG DEAL for Mr. Wu, wouldn’t you say?

Jason Wu and Michelle Obama with the dress Wu created for her to wear at the Inaugural Ball.
Wu’s collection for Target won’t launch until Spring 2012, but he was oh-so-kind (or perhaps cruel) as to create this short teaser video for all the fiends out there:
So basically now Wu and Target have us all on the edge of our seats, waiting for the lookbook to come out and launch the entire world (or perhaps maybe just the fashion fiend world) into utter chaos. JUST. LIKE. MISSONI. We can only hope that Wu’s entire collection for Target doesn’t end up on eBay.
Now we really don’t know what Wu will create to woo us over to Target (pun intended), but I can tell you now that I’m ABSOLUTELY loving some of the pieces in his 2012 Spring and Resort Collections:

I DON'T care what anyone says. I LOVE this absurdly voluminous PINK skirt. LOVE. (image: jasonwustudio.com)
I know what you’re thinking: That skirt is too big and too pink. I love it regardless. And if Wu sends some sort of adapted version of this to Target, it’s MINE. Because I love the Pink, I MUST also LOVE the Yellow:

Perhaps I can convince someone to plan some sort of Gala in Hawaii where I'm required to wear this dress?(image: jasonwustudio.com)
Dear Target fashion gods, please let Jason Wu create something just like this next piece for his Target collection. I NEED this in my professional wear wardrobe. Love, Malia. P.S. Did I mention I NEED this?

NEED. (image: jasonwustudio.com)
Find me an appropriate time and place to wear the two piece ensemble below and I WILL WEAR IT. Bible:

Seriously though, I love it. Judge me, tease me - I don't care. (image: jasonwustudio.com)
This next piece is from Wu’s 2012 Resort Collection. I’m pretty sure it’s screaming, SCREAMING my name. And if I can’t have this one, I’m praying to the fashion gods that Wu will make one similar for Target. Please Wu, please?

This IS it for me. Jason Wu now OWNS my life. (image: jasonwustudio.com)
I honestly had to stop browsing the collections because I was about to add every damn piece into this post. I think you get the point: I’m ready for Jason Wu to hit “the Target” with his Spring 2012 Target Collection. This time I’ll be well prepared for the chaos that will likely ensue. Bring it, Target and Wu. Bring it.
Now let me ask you, do you think Jason Wu will woo as much of a fashion frenzy as Missoni did in September?
Aloha.
OBSESSED! that pink skirt needs to be part of my wedding dress. I can NOT wait. Kapolei target better watch it! Thanks for sharing!
Lauren, there’s a shorter pink skirt too. You’ll DIE for it. Check wu’s website 2012 spring collection. You’ll know it when you see it.
Can you work your magic and get Wu to design our wedding and bridesmaid dresses?! Puhlease?
It’s so great to find another Jason Wu enthusiast! I love, love Jason Wu! I am smitten with his SS ’12 collection, those garments are awesome! I’m madly in love with the flowy pink skirt and all the asymmetrical helms. What’s a girl got to do to get herself any of those outfits! * Sigh*

Pretty much not going to have anything planned the day the collection comes out! Going to sit at home on my computer waiting for Target to launch the collection/may be at the store waiting for Target to open. I am going to start to practice running/jumping/ducking/long strides etc. in preparation for the day…
Crystal, we should probably start doing some dry-runs at Target. You know, really solidify the game plan. Haha. I LOVE it!
The NEED dress is so you!! I NEED that last dress, corset top dresses are my fav!
The corset top dress IS SO YOU Sonya
