Fashion: Mossimo Giannulli
MINNEAPOLIS (February 2006)
– True to his southern California roots, Mossimo Giannulli presents a Spring 2006 collection for Target that is on trend and sophisticated while feeling effortless. Attention to detail is evident throughout the line, which includes must-haves for women, men and children, ensuring the entire family is looking sharp this season.
WOMEN
This spring, the Mossimo women’s collection draws inspiration from London’s Chelsea antique market and presents a collection with a romantic, vintage feel. Victorian-inspired blouses in neutral tones incorporate ladylike lace, ruffle and tulle trim details that pair perfectly with flowing skirts or cropped pants. Jackets are key layering pieces and feature flattering necklines and seaming details in a range of fabrics including linen, canvas and cotton. Structured military-inspired blazers are offered in colors ranging from berry, teal or green to staples such as black or white. These jackets present just the right touch of downtown attitude and can be softened when paired with an ultra-feminine bubble skirt. Rolled Bermuda shorts, miniskirts and cropped pants are available in fabrications from denim to linen, offering a neutral canvas to dress up or down. Touches of metallic, whether in tunics, sweaters, shoes or accessories, add an edgy feel and a touch of sparkle to brighten any look.
Mossimo’s spring collection of bags, shoes and sunglasses offers a range of options to complete any outfit. For work or play, structured studded totes and metallic hobos take any woman out and about in style. Quilted leather satchels and suede messenger bags hold all the necessities for a weekend getaway while the leather clutch fits in easily to carry at night. Mossimo’s sunglasses assortment lets her channel her inner Jackie O with bold black frames or for downtown chic, the
Top Gun classic wire aviator frames are a fashionable choice.
MEN
This season, the Mossimo men’s collection offers timeless pieces that can be mixed together for a polished weekday look or a casual weekend outing. Blazers are key pieces this season – navy pinstripe is all-business when paired with khaki pants, but takes on a relaxed look when worn with distressed cargo pants and a ringer tee. Plaid flat-front shorts welcome warmer temperatures and feel modern next to the nylon track jacket. The classic board shorts paired with layered tees and flip-flops give off the California-cool vibe. Accessories including trucker-style hats, chunky cuff watches and sunglasses complement any style and keep any man looking fashion forward.
CHILDREN
For children, this spring’s assorted color palette takes little ones from school to play in style. Boys enjoy funky-patterned board shorts, ringer tees and polos, while girls welcome the embellished details of lace and eyelet on everything from denim to shrugs to tops. The mix-and-match separates combine to offer the ideal outfit for any occasion.
“Our guests rely on Mossimo for on-trend items that are chic yet practical,” says Trish Adams, senior vice president, Target. “This spring, the entire family is able to mix pieces from his collection to express his or her personal style, without breaking the bank.”
