Shaun White designs for Target

The "Flying Tomato" who is best known for his stellar moves on a snowboard has stepped away from the snow to design a collection for Target. I suppose since Issac Mizrahi has flown the coop Target needs some new manpower in the (design) house and Shaun White has stepped up to the plate.

The multi-talented 21-year old snowboard/ skateboard champ and Olympic gold medalist will be launching a limited-edition clothing line for men and boys. No details have been leaked on what the line will consist of or what it will look like but I can imagine it will be sporty. Big duh there huh?

It will be nice for the boys to finally have some fun with the celebrity fashion lines on at Target. The collection will be available at Target in late July.

Should this man be designing clothing?

What a shame when there are so many talented people out there looking for a job in their field of study.

Well said Donatella!!!

aww, i love him.
he's so cute and talented. :]

That's actually a very interesting choice. He has his own style, very young and fun, and he puts things together in a refreshing way. I'd like to see more young guys dress like him than the boring old jeans and tees.

you think it will look sporty? Do you even know Shaun Whites designs??? He designs a bunch of snowboarding gear as well... I DOUBT it will look "sporty" as sporty goes. If you want sporty, buy your clothes at dicks... Shaun White has unique designs and a great flare for being creative. It definately will not be a sporty line, I can tell you that much. These AOL writers really need to get thier stuff together. So ignorent.

Your comment would have been more convincing had you known how to correctly spell i-g-n-o-r-A-n-t. It kind of killed it for me. (I apologize for the offense you're probably feeling at the moment...)

Get over yourself. Why are you getting so upset over Shaun White's designs. Those who like his designs will buy them...no need to call AOL users ignorant...especially since you can't spell the word.

Good riddance to the woman hater Mizrahi! Maybe adding new faces will give Target some better designs. The young man deserves his chance-he can't be as bad as Mizerable Mizrahi who lacks the female parts he envies to make him powerful.

I've never thought of Mizrahi as a woman hater...quite the opposite, actually. To each their own, I guess.

Anyway, I am curious to see what Shawn will produce for Target. As Jennifer said, he already designs for Burton, etc. I'd like to see the mass-market spin on his ideas, more out of curiosity than anything else.

Fash 1-24-2008 @ 4:21PM

Yes, I'm aware of my typo...it's Shaun.

laura 1-24-2008 @ 4:22PM

Nice....and refreshing.....I knew I loved Target for their freshhness!

Mizrahi is a women-hating loser! "GOOD BUY" and good riddance Mizrahi.

Notice that most comments are from women. Like most men could care less about fashion. I believe most men look for comfort and utility in their clothing. Tom

Shaun looks kinda reminds me a cross between the comedian Carrot Top and Leif Garrett, lol

Anne 1-25-2008 @ 1:23AM

Tom, FYI ... it's "COULDN'T care less" and your appearance most likely reflects your attitude :) Give the guy a chance ! He's a good kid and just may have some GREAT ideas !!!

I couldn't have put it better loverly82! Jennifer, grow up.

Is he the son of Barry Gibb?

Chris 1-24-2008 @ 7:13PM

I have always liked Shaun. He's a nice guy. I'm really excited to see what he comes up with. I can tell you this, my brother will be buying his stuff, sporty or otherwise.
