IN STORES NOVEMBER
Pictured at left is a dress from Behnaz Sarafpour's GO! International collection for Target. The 13 looks are now available in stores and online. Click here to shop.
Roland Mouret's capsule collection for the Gap will be available in the U.K. and France November 7, and in seven New York Gap stores in a few short weeks! View photos of the collection at Nitrolicious.
Sofia Kokosalaki's collection for the Nine West Front Row Project is available on the Nine West website and at 20 select Nine West locations. Now, I am absolutely enamored of Kokosalaki's work, but her talent as a designer is hardly apparent in her Nine West pieces. At least, that's my opinion; you be the judge. If you missed Thakoon Panichgul's Project Front Row collection, not to worry--it's still available at Macy's.
The wait is nearly over for Viktor & Rolf for H&M. The collection hits stores November 9th, and to help you prepare for the event, H&M has posted photos of the complete collection. If you haven't done so already, visit the H&M website to see if it will be available in a store near you.
Finally, Uniqlo will continue rolling out its designer collaborations this month; designs by SCYE for men and Adam Jones for women will be available in the Soho store later this month.
