A sneak into Fall 2014 kidz...


Feed USA + Target

More than 50 million Americans are "food insecure," according to a 2011 US Department of Agriculture study. In its latest designer collaboration releasing in stores this month, Target is partnering with FEED Projects to help change that. 

Target is joining forces with Lauren Bush Lauren's FEED Projects. The duo just wrapped up a five-city tour of Feeding America programs that took them to food banks and local pantries in San Francisco, Minnesota, New York City and more. Target and FEED are hoping the partnership will generate 10 million meals for Feeding America.

"Target (has) such a massive reach that we just don't have," Lauren told USA Today. "So it's wonderful when we can partner with Target to really just blow it out and have such a big impact in a short amount of time."



HIPPIE CHIC

Let's take a moment to mentally transport ourselves to summer: Boston is hot, flowers are in bloom, and within the walls of the Museum of Fine Arts, so are the floral psychedelic prints of the 60s and 70s. "Hippie Chic" is the latest in the museum's string of fashion-focused exhibitions, running from July 2 through November 11, 2013.

"Hippie Chic" celebrates the designs of innovative boutiques and young designers and includes about 50 ensembles, in materials (crushed velvet, eyelet, satin, leather,), techniques and embellishments (tie-dye, patchwork, beads, and fringe), and styles from psychedelic to retro that made statements consonant with the era's experimentation, theatricality, and freewheeling spirit.

The emerging hippie culture rejected the dictates of Paris haute couture, adopting instead an eclectic, highly individual look, mixing vintage and ethnic clothing with fashions inspired by contemporary psychedelic Pop art, nature, fantasy, and ethnographic art. For the first time, trends percolated up from the streets to affect ready to wear and even haute couture.



Wishing you a COLORFUL July!
