Four new “shops” make their Target debut on Sunday, Sept. 9. This is the second installment of a program that garnered a huge amount of buzz for the forward-thinking retailer last spring. The basic concept: now that everyone has copied Target’s successful formula of partnering with designers, move on the next thing, and partner with cool boutiques around the country—bringing their vibe to the wide aisles of the big box store. In my opinion, the Shops got lost in translation. Customers were expecting shops—and if anyone could pull off a mini-boutique experience adjacent to the laundry detergent, it would be Target. But what we got was bits from this store and that, tucked into end caps or departments. That letdown took away from the collections themselves, which were like most Target collaborations: phenomenal on glossy pages; hit and miss in reality.

It will be interesting to see if Target has tweaked its presentation for round two, which includes fashion for women and men as well as home and gift. And typical Target: they’ve sucked me back in. The partners are top-notch. The look books look fab. Here’s a preview:
