Libertine for Target is Totally FUGLY

By CC Staff

For designers whose line has been hailed by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel fame, I expected more. Instead, the new sneak peak of the Libertine for Target line left my eyes bleeding and a little bit of throw-up in my mouth. The psychedelic patterns reminded me too much of Austin Powers and the prep-meets-punk look they were going for ended up looking more like the wardrobe of a Nantucket mother with a bit of misplaced rage.

Sadly, there are only a few pieces I don’t despise. The striped shirt dress is cute as is the tree screen printed tee. For the most part, it really seems like the only few things the Libertine duo got right were the basics: a black skirt, a black dress, a white blouse. And for designers whose “uniquely aggressive aesthetic” (read: fashion forward look) was what set them apart for the rest, this gag-worthy clothing collection neither says unique—or aggressive—to me.

What do you think about the new Libertine for Target collection?
