Tuesday, February 24, 2015 Minneapolis, MN For the past year, Target has been working on their new plus size line after a
mishap with their plus size customer relationships. Target teamed up with three bloggers, Gabi Gregg, Nicolette Mason, and
Chasity Garner, whom plus size women look to for information and inspiration, to help promote and provide feedback on the
line. Ava and Viv will have 90 pieces, with sizes up to size 26 and 4x, ranging from $10-$70.
Target chose three bloggers with similar body types that their guest look to for inspiration, fit, and style. Each of blogger chosen has
a different style and the spirit of this line is that it does have a single point of view but it can be worn very differently. Many guest of
Target see bloggers as their peers and trust their opinions because they shop the same way.
With a happy, vibrant, and chic design among the 90 pieces, there is something for everyone. The line covers active wear, jeans,
dressier separates and bathing suits in bright colors and more youthful designs. Ava and Viv will be available in 1,800 stores as well
as online. Like Target's other apparel lines, Ava and Viv will be updated monthly with new styles and items.
Target is recognized as a leader in innovation across the retail industry. From pioneering the concept of designer partnerships to

consistently being best in class in store design, Target remains focused on not only meeting, but exceeding, its guests' needs. To remain relevant to its guests over time, Target continually reinvents its stores, including layout,
presentation and merchandise assortment, to create an engaging shopping experience.

Collaboration Success for Target and Lilly Pulitzer


On Sunday, April 19, 2015 Target launched its designer collaboration line with Lilly Pulitzer featuring items unavailable in
boutiques. The collection included a total of 250 items such as clothing for both women and girls, home goods, and beauty products
with 15 exclusive limited editions designs. The launch created mayhem both in-stores and online. Jane Schoenborn, vice president,
creative communications, Lilly Pulitzer said, The Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection marks a new chapter for our brand, and were
excited to give Lilly fans everywhere, including those who have loved the brand for years and those who will get to know it for the
first time through this collaboration, a chance to experience this incredibly chic lifestyle collection.
This collaboration was on of Targets fastest selling collection. The shopping frenzy was reminiscent of another much-hyped
Target collaboration with the Italian design house Missoni in 2011 where in stores it sold quickly out of the merchandise. Fans
lined up early at stores in hopes to get a piece from the collection. Targets Lilly Pulitzer merchandise sold out quickly [within
hours/minutes]. Online at Target also sold out as fast as in stores. These types of collaboration are meant to be limited time, limited
qualitied and last for weeks rather than hours. Targets designer collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer showed proof of the intense interest Target can still generate through limited-time designer partnerships.

their hands on a piece of designer merchandise.
