First lady Michelle Obama may want to go on another Target shopping trip in February: Thats when a limited-edition collection by Jason Wu, one of her favorite designers, will hit stores across the country.
Womens Wear Daily reported Monday that after Targets Missoni collaboration was a huge success, the store has tapped Wu to be the next to design an affordable collection for the design-conscious retailer. The 60s inspired line will reach stores Feb. 5, and items will be priced at $60 or less - a considerable discount from his eponymous fashion line.

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!
FReepmail maggief if you want on or off this ping list
Transgender get-together?
Ewok-Chewbaca reunion?
Wig-swapping team champs?
Sorry pal or palette. THAT'S WHY SHE WENT TO TARGET LAST WEEK and the White House leaked her "Target run" to the "media" for their photo shoot. She was promoting this crap for Target. It was a promotional stunt. News "media" people are so gullible.
That dress reminded me of a 50’s Chenille bedspread.
ROFLMAO!!! I didn’t even notice Obama in the cart until I actually came to the thread! Too funny!
I’m not going to be waiting in any lines at Target for Wu’s designs... I actually feel sorry for some of the designers who have only come to attention because Michelle has worn them - she’s NOT who you want to be wearing your clothes, and making your name for you!
I absolutely agree with you! Years back when she wore it I made the comment to my girls that it looked like my Grandmother’s Chenille bedspread that I’ve got in my closet! LOL
Shameless shilling, one hand scratches the other, kickbacks, using the Office, many keywords come to mind here.
She's just as corrupt as he is.

BINGO!

That picture of Barry in the cart. I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING!!!
Geez that woman is ugly! Even when smiles (or attempts to) she is still phatass butt-ass ugly.
That was THE ugliest FLOTUS Inaugural gown in recent history. It looked like something whipped up from an old chenille bedsread. With crystal beads, of course.
Looked like a toilet paper gown, IMO ... and if I see Wu’s name on anything at Targhetto... well, then I ain’t buying.
(Hmmm ... need to be on the lookout for new alliances between Target and Let’s Move.)
All contrived. Natch.
Rumor has it that the reason she is always sleeveless, is because she sweats like a hog.
Something is definitely wrong with the top of the one she is wearing in your pic. It didn’t fit so they took some tucks at the last minute? What? Just amazes me.
