Yes, you read that correctly: hotshot NY designer is the latest designer collaborator to join forces with US über-brand Target.

Best of all, its launch - slated for September - will follow the same formula as the sell-out Peter Pilotto collection, which was available to buy globally via Net–a–Porter and commanded three orders per second the day of its February launch.

'Confident, sexy and sophisticated' are the buzzwords Altuzarra, who burst onto the fashion scene in 2008 (and looks from whose a/w 2014 show are pictured above), wants women to feel in this capsule collection.

'As a designer, I believe firmly in the transformative power of fashion,' he says. 'It has the ability to not only change how you look, but also how you feel.

'I've admired the elegance that Target brings to fast fashion. By working together on this capsule collection, we hope to instill a sense of power, confidence and beauty in women everywhere.'

NAP will stock a 28-piece edit of the full collection – a sneak preview of which it debuted on its Instagram feed yesterday – including clothes, shoes, accessories and lingerie.
