Admittedly, I wasn't expecting much from Alexander McQueen's collection for Target aptly called "McQ Alexandr McQueen for Target" (Editor's Note: it's not apart o the Go International and instead marks the first in a series everyone's favorite retailer is dubbing "Designer Collaborations", whatever that means.)

Anyways, once images for the high/low collab emerged, I wasn't expecting anything more than graphic tees and leggings covered in British punk rock graphics.

Well, I'm note sure if a McQ flack sent WWD over the wrong look book or someone in the designer's camp reads style blogs because what has recently surfaced on the internet concerning the forthcoming line looks amazing and has me down right giddy for affordable fashion once again.

The rockabilly aesthetic in the collection has been toned down quite a bit -- with the exception of a black flared out dress -- and consists of flirty dresses, jumpsuits, well-constructed boy blazers, and chic ankle boots that come in nude and royal blue with a slight (but not tacky or cheap-looking) sheen. Phew. [Is Mental]

Update: NYLON has the complete McQ Alexander McQueen for Target look book available up on its site.
