Anya Hindmarch and Sigerson Morrison made handbags and shoes for Target! And you know what? They look good.

Target is building up an impressive roster of designers. Mizrahi started the craze, and since then, top international designers have been flocking to the big red bullseye of cheap chic. Target has previously featured Stella McCartney, Zac Posen, and Luella Bartley, to name just a few.

The epic fashion wars between America and the UK have just gotten a little more heated -- or at least they have in our imaginative little minds.

Much like our Urban Outfitters stateside, the British operation is beginning to carry designer's lines that our exclusive to their store. While Luella Bartley can be found on the backs of every French Vogue guest editor and party blogger darling, the punky-princess whimsical pieces are usually hard to track down in the stores.


So imagine how jealous we were when we first heard that the UK's Urban Outfitters stores would be selling Luella's bewitching checkered tops and party girl dresses exclusively on their side of the pond. We were bitter, to say the least.

But thank god for the internet, because all of us high fashion fiends in America can now purchase Luella's pieces on the UK's Urban site. Everyone now: Yes! There's a couple of cheeky graphic tees, a sleek bomber jacket, and few other swoon-worthy items.

Happy Shopping.

The British label Luella (née Luella Bartley) offered a heroic ready-to-wear collection during the Spring 2008 shows in London. I don't mean to suggest that the line was especially brave; rather, by heroic, I mean, superheroic. And by superheroic, I mean, the clothes had Batman on them. Luella dubbed it "comic book chic" -- whatever that is supposed to mean...

Believe it or not, this is hardly the first time that a cartoon character has struck a pose in high-end fashion. As Jonathon pointed out earlier this year, designers have been on a 'toon kick for a while now, channeling everyone from Charlie Brown to Tweety Bird.
