Fashion: Mossimo Giannulli
MINNEAPOLIS (March 2007) - Providing a much-needed escape from the winter doldrums, the Mossimo for Target collection infuses the spring season with bold patterns and a color palette of natural hues and pops of bright colors. Designer Mossimo Giannulli spices up wardrobes for women, men and children, combining great fit, quality fabrics and an eye for style to present must-haves for the entire family.
WOMEN
Giannulli keeps a woman’s ever-changing sense of style in mind this spring, offering a variety of dresses, skirts and shorts in the season’s most flattering silhouettes. Dresses range from the essential black sundress to a casual cargo shift dress, complete with ruched pockets and a dropped waist. Attention to detail is key and dresses and skirts feature pockets highlighted with delicate ruffles or gathered fabric to add a touch of femininity. Skirts include the office-appropriate smocked-waist basic, which can be paired with a bold, geometric cap-sleeved top or basic solid short-sleeved jacket and finished off with the season’s trend-right wide belt. Hemlines shrink on the weekend-appropriate madras mini, creating a preppy look that can be paired with a basic polo or deep v-neck sweater for a casual outing.
Shorts are available in a variety of lengths, from the daring short-shorts look to the longer Bermuda style. Layering and mixing patterns continue to be on trend, and Mossimo’s shrunken seersucker plaid jacket worn over a playful blue polka-dot camisole and paired with short, tie-waist shorts is a fresh way to step out this season. The baby-doll style camisole, with its empire waistline and flirty floral pattern, is a perfect feminine topper for short chambray denim tie-front shorts.
The Mossimo for Target Plus-Size women’s collection offers stylish and classic options for sizes 1X-3X. Classic polo shirts paired with cropped pants and jackets create a figure flattering silhouette for curvy women.
Adding personality and pizzazz to looks is important for any woman, and the Mossimo for Target collection offers essential accents from head to toe. Oversized sunglasses add a touch of drama and are available in a number of frame styles. Handbags complement looks with a variety of shapes, styles and colors and incorporate eye-catching hardware and detailing. The must-have casual shoe for the season is the espadrille, available in every color of the rainbow, which features a sexy, feminine ribbon ankle tie. For a more formal look, Giannulli presents peep-toe stilettos and chunky-heeled sandals in black and brown.
MEN
This season, men exude the causal-cool vibe with basic pieces from the Mossimo for Target collection. The Premium Denim collection offers a variety of styles and washes that provide the perfect neutral palette to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. Striped and solid polo shirts untucked and layered with the must-have ringer tee complements jeans and flip-flops for a casual spring outing. A more pulled-together look is achieved with a crewneck tee and a patterned button-down shirt. Cargo shorts are available in earthy tones as well as patterns including a casual pinstripe or fashion-forward brown and blue plaid. These shorts pair well with ultracomfortable zip-up sweatshirts or layered crewneck tees.
Giannulli’s passion for the beach is reflected in this season’s stylish swimwear. White trimmed board shorts and colorful floral swim trunks feature a lace-up front that works for surf or swim. These bottoms double as shorts that are appropriate for a casual lunch when paired with a brightly colored ringer tank or crewneck tee.
CHILDREN
The Mossimo for Target children’s collection offers boys and girls the perfect looks as they head outside this spring free from cold-weather jackets and scarves. Girls have never been more stylish, with the spring collection drawing inspiration from women’s looks but with a girlish spin. Floral sundresses, chic cargo shorts, and retro athletic shorts mix with basic tanks and embroidered sweatshirts for a look that is fashionable, yet comfortable and functional. Boys choose from screenprint tees or the classic polo shirts to pair with cargo pants or shorts to create a look with personality. “Mossimo continues to create wardrobe must-haves for the entire family,” says Trish Adams, senior vice president, Target. “He strikes a balance between seasonal trends and wardrobe basics that mix well to accommodate a variety of personal styles.”
