Finally, some preview images from the Rodarte for Target collaboration have shown up online.  After much anticipation (on my end, at least), the line which launches in Target on December 20th looks to be a mixture of textures and prints. I see sequins, lace, leopard print and bows.  Overall, I’m a little underwhelmed by the collection, but that’s how I’ve been feeling about many of the designer collaborations that have been coming out lately. I know many times that the quality of materials is not the same because they are lower-priced and the designers are appealing to a larger base. I had really high hopes for Rodarte, because I enjoy their runway collections so much and I still hope to check out the line when it arrives in my local Target store (if it arrives, rather). I still think Rodarte did remain quite true to their aesthetic, and some of the pieces are quite creative. Plus, if there are 55 pieces, then maybe I’m casting my opinion too soon.  My one question is: where are the pants?
