You’ve probably heard about it. It was everywhere, as every GO Target collection seems to be. You’ve seen the ribbon pendant and broach.
Well, me too. What i didn’t expect was that when running over to
Target for a quick errand, the collection would actually catch my eye
and have me hovering at the Target jewelry case. In fact i have seldom
even looked in that direction when i go (i tend to go to target to grab
method goods and toys usually). Beyond the adorably edgy. fun, gothy
display, a fresh shipment had just come in, and i saw a pile of the
gorgeous satin pouches and ring/earring boxes taunting me. So when i
came back to it three times, i finally gave in and played with a few of
the pieces, and purchased this
Dominique Cohen Lace-Covered Bead Necklace with Ribbon Tie.
The attention to packaging details surprised me, i didn’t realize that
they created a series of brown satin corded bags (with a nice beige
satin interior) printed with Dominique Cohen for Target on them, and
the necklaces even have a tiny little “dom” tag on the silk ribbon. So
if you’re ready for an overdose of closeups, as well as my roundup of
some of the best pieces, and pics from the LA launch party, as well as
some of Dominique Cohen’s high end collection that inspired these
pieces… click on.
Found some pictures of the LA Launch Party for the line over at Glam.
Here are a bunch of my favorites from her collection for Target ~
for most of these there are bronze versions as well ~ and i left out
the chunky chain metal pieces that i wasn’t feeling. Also, in person
the cameo and ribbon were not nearly as fun as in photographs (the plastic was a bit dented and far from perfect… it drove me nuts!)
UPDATE! Just got a note from Dominique Cohen’s people, and “the cameo’s
are actually hand cut in Germany, and they are made of shell”
For those curious what her high end “regular” collections look like, you can definitely see how the style transfered over…. Dominique Cohen
