NEW YORK — Target debuted its fall fashion lineup July 27 in Rockefeller Plaza during two vertical fashion shows. Fifteen models wearing pieces from the collection kicked off the show by rappelling down three vertical runways attached to a nine-story building. The models danced and performed acrobatic stunts before landing. On the ground, fifty models strutted down a Target-logo runway and showcased new looks from Isaac Mizrahi, Mossimo, Liz Lange, Xhilaration and Merona. The lineup included back-to-school, business and maternity.Houndstooth prints were a common theme as was tweed. Outerwear was embellished with fur and came in everything from tan corduroy pea coats to Kelly-green vests. Men’s suits popped with brightly colored business shirts. Women’s shoes varied from multicolored sequined ballet flats to bronze peep-toe heels.

The looks that really stood out were the going-out pieces. Embellished silky camisoles paired with fitted black pants started the excitement and a Jackie O outfit stole the show. The ivory brocade dress with matching cropped jacket was paired with kitten heels and a tailored handbag.
