Target + Thakoon = Love?

While most people are still processing the Richard Chai for Target collection, along comes news this week that the next Go International collection will be from the much-admired Thakoon label. Rumors about these Go International lines circulate like Elvis sightings (remember the Alexander McQueen rumor?), but this one's finally been confirmed by Target, which is very exciting. The collection is expected to launch in December and remain through January 2009 only.

As we know, these Target capsule collections are really hit-or-miss, but the thought of scoring Thakoon's signature vintage looks for less is exciting indeed. This is how they suck you in, right?
