In 1999, Target launched its first designer collection with architect Michael Graves. Over the next two decades, the budget-friendly retailer would go on to partner with some of the biggest names in fashion, home design, and more, including runway staples such as Jason Wu, Altuzarra, Missoni, and 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Needless to say, each of their limited collections caused a buying frenzy, with shoppers lining up to get their hands on ready-to-wear goods at a fraction of their normal cost. But on September 14, shoppers that missed out on their favorites the first time around will have a chance to get their hands on the goods, as Target pulls from its collaboration archives to delight fans once more with gorgeous, high-end pieces that range from $7 to $160.
“Two decades ago, when we first set out to make beautifully designed products affordable, we created a movement in retail and culture that proclaimed that design could be—and should be—for all,” Rick Gomez, executive vice president and chief marketing and digital officer for Target, explained in a press release. “This Anniversary Collection takes our guests on a nostalgic journey through our designer collaboration history where they can discover products that they’ll fall in love with all over again, or for some, for the very first time.”
Most Stylish Pieces From the Vaults
Woman’s World combed through Target’s anniversary collection lookbook of more than 150 women’s fashion items to select the dresses, tops, jackets, and more that we’re most excited to see return to the shelves in sizes XS-3X.
Keep scrolling for Woman’s World’s picks for the best items from the relaunch and head back to Target on September 14 to shop the looks.

1. Issac Mizrahi for Target Pleated Dress
Where to buy: $50, Target
Issac Mizrahi is a staple on the American design scene — and in the aisles of Target. He partnered up with the bullseye brand between the years of 2003 to 2009 on everything from fashion to home goods and bedding. Our favorite, however, just might be this gorgeous square-neck frock. With a pretty floral pattern and a flattering, knee-length silhouette, it'll be your go-to dress for these last few dog days of summer — and beyond!
2. Thakoon For Target Crewneck T Shirt
Where to buy: $20, Target
Described as one of Target's "most colorful collections to date," Thakoon's resort-ready wares brightened up the store's shelves in winter 2008. This soft, relaxed tee from the line is still perfect for everyday wear year-round, however. (It's also a real steal at $20.)
3. Missoni for Target Open Cardigan
Where to buy: $50, Target
The store's collaboration with Italian designer Missoni was such a massive success upon its launch in 2011, it crashed Target's website! This knee-length cardigan from the original collection of 400 pieces looks just like the real deal — the brand is known for its colorful and patterned knitwear — but comes at a fraction of the price. It's also got inner pockets, making it every bit as functional as it is eye-catching.
4. Issac Mizrahi Long Sleeve Turtleneck
Where to buy: $30, Target
Color comes alive in Mizrahi's take on the chunky turtleneck, which will coordinate well with your favorite pair of denim or a pair of sleek slacks.
5. 3.1 Phillip Lim For Target Shirtdress
Where to buy: $40, Target
Lim described his 2013 Target line as "cool, easy, and chic," and that's exactly what this zip-front dress, complete with a mandarin collar, embodies. It's also a great transition piece — simply add a jacket and your favorite dress shoes and you're ready to take on the world!
6. 3.1 Phillip Lim For Target Trench Coat
Where to buy: $70, Target
That chic vibe can be also seen in the American designer's navy long-sleeve button-down trench. The bright green lining adds an element of fun to the look while the jacket's all-cotton fabric makes it easy to launder.
7. Issac Mizrahi for Target Boat Neck Sweater
Where to buy: $30, Target
Spicing up your wardrobe is easy with this gorgeous sweater from Issac Mizrahi: Its boat neckline gives it just the right touch of flair. Its also a money saver through and through, since you'll not only be getting a serious deal on the label, you'll save big on dry-cleaning, too — it's also 100 percent cotton.
8. Thakoon For Target Shibori Shirtdress
Where to buy: $38, Target
This pleated-skirt shirtdress from the Thakoon archives was practically made for basking in the sun.
9. Altuzarra For Target Snakeskin Blouse
Where to buy: $30, Target
In 2014, Joseph Altuzarra's rich, luxe looks were made available to the masses like never before. We love this work-ready snake-print top from the collection, which enmeshes its bold pattern with a feminine touch in the form of a sweet neck-tie.
10. Isaac Mizrahi for Target Hooded Duffel Coat
Where to buy: Target, $70
Mizrahi lent his penchant for bright hues to this classic wardrobe staple, which features toggle closures, a roomy hood to keep you protected from the elements, and roomy flap pockets.
11. Jason Wu For Target Shift Dress
Where to buy: $40, Target
New York-based Wu offered an element of sophistication with his 2012 Target wares, as can be seen in this mod shift dress. Both timeless and chic, it's a great choice for a picnic, a backyard BBQ, or even a casual cocktail party.
12. Altuzarra For Target Maxi Dress
Where to buy: $50, Target
For more sophisticated affairs, there's Altuzarra's flowing maxi dress that looks far pricer than its $50 price tag, compliments of a silky fabric and a sophisticated floral motif.
