Target x Odin: Finally - One Just For The Guys

Earlier this week, Target released the look book images for the upcoming collaboration with menswear store ODIN.  The collection looks very ODIN-esque and has some great knit pieces, slim-fitting slacks, outerwear, desert boots, and a utility duffel.  With every item coming in at under $100, the collection is easy on the eyes and pocket.  The collection drops September 9, 2012 at Target (in stores and online) as well as ODIN if you're located here in the city.  Can't wait! In the meantime - here's the full lookbook (courtesy of Target):

In the meantime here's a couple promo videos H&M just released - loving the illustrations!

Kaelen Fall 2012 Lookbook

I previously told you to watch out for the rising New York based, Toronto raised design talent, Kaelen Farncombe.  Her collection takes wardrobe classics like button up shirts, cigarette pants, the boxy jacket and shift dress and re-invents them with strong style lines with an architectural feel, graphic prints and color blocking to create clothes that are still wearable, modern and bold.


The Fall 2012 collection is all about texture with the use of charmeuse, lace, lame, velvet and textured wool. Details like cowl backs, cut out shoulders and angular hemlines are seen throughout.  Charming bow ties add a dash of whimsy while column dresses look goddess-like but in a simpler more elegant way.  The collection also featured several drop crotch pants but I am a little torn on my thoughts of those.  Do you think would you wear drop crotch pants?
