Yea or Nay: Target’s Go International Patrick Robinson

| May 14, 2007 10:16 AM | Posted in

The Patrick Robinson for Target collection hit the stores this past week and I’m a fan!  Robinson, former darling of the design world and former head of Perry Ellis captures a bohemian chic vibe with this collection, with just the right dose of wit, color and lightness for summer.
patrick robinson targetRanging in price from $12.99 - $44.99, the line includes a variety of warm weather staples such as loose cotton tanks and flowing jersey dresses, as well as long shorts, tunics and white button-downs. Stand-out pieces include the linen jack shown above (love it!), short shorts tied at the thigh, and his signature, Mediterranean inspired, print.

Robinson’s collection of women’s fashion and accessories will be available through July 15, 2007.

Personally, this is the first GO International collection I’ve actually liked since Luella.

I would say yea, but the pockets are huge and distracting, so the verdict is nay!

I’m a bit lukewarm on this collection.  I like bright colours opposed to khaki and taupes.  Linen is great for summer, but I find the collection doesn’t stand out, fabric-, design-, or color-wise.

Nay!

YEA…i just got a skirt and a pair of white linen shorts from his collection. What I like the most about Patrick’s line is the fit. I’m not so sure about the quality of the fabric, haven’t washed it yet.

Does anyone know what’s up with the Target promotional code (10% off entire order) that was supposed to last until 6.30.07 and is now rejected/expired?  Was it overused?  tgtsavq2

It’s ok, but a little too khaki really.  Kind of boring, but comfortably so.

I’m excited for Libertine and Alice Temperley though!  Thanks for the tip!

Yea! I love that some are slightly grecian inspired and that several of the pieces are more neutral and will mix well with my casual wardrobe and more colorful accents and accessories.

I have a reserved “nay” because the Go International sizing is junior, not misses. Some of the pieces I do like, though.

Nay….too boring. Summer should be fun, bright and cheery. But this collection is plain blah. I’m not into jackets for summer neither earth colors for this season.

My first instinct is that I like the collection, It’s cute and doesn’t look like stuff that I already have in my wardrobe.  However, I’ve heard that a lot of it fits kind of funky; I really can see the pockets overwhelming me here.  Also, my personal peeve, is that I think the medallion print is over used.  So, I give it a B, B-

Yea! I like Patrick Robinson’s Go Intl pieces.  I purchased a minidress & thought the other pieces in this collection were wearable for more body types (& age ranges) than some of the other Go Intl lines have been.

Love the collection….Finally something with actual style since the horrid Proenza Schuler collection.
(with the exception of the trapeze coat)
Great colors although dominated by neutrals. But the khakis is what I am in the mood for in the heat of the summer. I really do love almost everything in this Patrick Robinson line. Lyrical and soft, creative

Yay. I purchased the grecian print brown and white tunic with the 3/4 sleeves.  I didn’t even try it on.  Took it home, tried it on, walked outside - my husband did not even recognize me!  Yay.

Yea!  I’ve been waiting for you to post a review!  I did not know he was coming and when I saw the collection in the store, I was completely blown away.  I’ve since read reviews where he’s bashed for being boring and neutral, but you know, boring/neutral/classy WORKS.  Even though I’m a grown woman his stuff looks good on me (though I have to go up the obligatory two sizes).  The shapes are in but just different enough from what everyone else is selling.  I’ve bought four pairs of pants and the pink t-shirt.  Was briefly tempted by the jacket but I have too many jackets already so am staying away.

Well, she should go international. but it just that i don’t like the colour choice….brown bikini is too boring. For summers, it has to be cheeeeeeeeerful.

I have the jacket…its ok. However, it could have come in just a little bit more in the waist for that “tailored” look.

Bought the jacket- love it!  I’ve worn it with jeans and a pencil skirt as well as a flirty gauze skirt I bought at target.  I have received a ton of compliments and most people think it’s a high priced item from a designer store.  Also bought the grecian tunic- the quality is what you would expect for the price- not sure I love it- but it is a fun top for this summer- not sure about next.
I say YAY for sure!

Too bland and “hippiesque” for my liking.
Luella and Behnaz were way better collections.

I didn’t mind the colors but fit tended to be an issue.  I loved (and bought) the cargo pants in the dark denim and the brown color.  Yea with reservations b/c of crazy fit issues.
