Next in line in Designers for Target Australia is the Collette Dinnigan for Target collection.
It was launched today in all Target stores in Australia. After a gentle reminder from Geekchic on the night before, I started out for Chadstone the next morning, excited to see what was in store.
Internationally acclaimed Australian designer, Collette Dinnigan, designed a collection of intimate apparel for Target, called Wild Hearts. According to Dinnigan, the collection features some of her signature lace, embroidery and silk printed fabrics which have been designed to make women experience the exclusiveness of one of her garments.
Below are some of the pieces featured in the Wild Hearts collection. You can check out the full collection in the Designers for Target website.
This time, the response is more quiet compared to Zac Posen‘s. There were still a number of ladies who came to check out the underwear, but not as many as before. I guess the hype for this is just not as strong.
Obviously I did not pose with these bras and panties in the fitting room and snap photos of myself like before, but I did leave the store with a lil’ something-something 😉
All purchased Collette Dinnigan for Target pieces would go into this pretty baby pink and black paper bag.
I came out with a set of undies from the collection – a pair of La Vie En Rose high-cut briefs (sadly I’m not that into thongs, although those were pretty hot) and a La Vie En Rose Balconette bra. God I love it when my bras have proper names to ’em :p
All in all, I think the collection’s not all that great. The designs were pretty average, in fact. There were some granny-looking brown bras. Ugh. I expected more *shrug*.
The bras are priced at AUD39.99 each, panties AUD19.99, thongs AUD16.99, French knickers AUD24.99, and the sheer slips around AUD79.99.
Note: By the way, Target has restocked some of the Zac Posen pieces. Unfortunately, all the good ones were sold out, and will remain sold out. Dang.
holy shite. not cheap also. i’m into thongs. or low-rise undies. I prefer those because all myjeans are low-waist
*wolf whistles*
Lucky, lucky Mr. Tine! 😉
Geekchic:
I’m such a grandma. I can’t stand thongs ‘cos I feel like it’s crack floss. I’ve tried, I really have! 🙁
Shryh:
Oh Mr Tine was happy to see ’em all right. Not me in them yet though. Tee hee hee 😉
finally. a model who looks normal-sized and not some stick insect
Jessie:
Yep. Wahey to the ginormous knockers and hips :p

Prettybeautiful:
Unfortunately, dahlink, I don’t have the body of the models you see there, so nope, I’m not going to model that for y’all 😉
Omg so cute! I wish we had this in the US 🙁 Target undies here are so aunty!
