Target has just announced that Tracy Feith will be the next designer to have a limited-edition Target GO International line. The GO program, which is designed to offer shoppers reasonably priced fashions created by world-renowned designers, will launch the Feith collaboration at most Target stores nationwide on May 17th. The collection is slated to be available through June 27th.
Feith is Target’s 15th guest designer for Go International (recent designers include Jonathan Saunders, Richard Chai, and Rogan Gregory), and his collection will have about 60 styles — shorts, swimsuits, tops, jackets, pants and dresses ranging in price from $14.99 to $44.99.
One of Feith’s dresses was also worn by Carrie Bradshaw on a Sex and the City episode.

Supermodel Carol Alt has long been crediting her gorgeous figure to a raw food diet. The 48-year-old Celebrity Apprentice star is set to launch Raw Essentials, a beauty line that she created exclusively for HSN that will make its debut on Dec. 11.
“This diet has reversed my [prognosis] and all I did was be careful about what I put in and on my body. I couldn’t find anything that was clean to apply on my skin so I decided to come out with my own line. Everything I use in the products are in the same form they were in when found in nature, and haven’t been heated to the point where the molecular structure has been changed.”

Gregory says “In order to make any real impact, you have to reach the mass market. Sustainability can’t be a cult taste; it can’t be a luxury.”
