We are just weeks away from a new 'Must-Have' Fashion Collaboration, and Ascending Butterfly got the chance to check out the new PETER PILOTTO Collection for Target on Monday night up close and personal.

Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos the London-based design duo behind PETER PILOTTO are collaborating with Target for a bold, bright, Spring womenswear collection which will make its debut on February 9, 2014.

PETER PILOTTO for Target will feature approximately 70 items, including dresses, skirts, clutches, swimwear, Totes, and even Slip on Shoes with most items retailing for less than $60 - making the collection not just fun but affordable! Taking home a little luxe at a price that won't break the bank is sure to put a 'spring' in your step, and with the bright cheery colors and bold prints I am pretty sure it's like nothing you already own.

With a nod to the brand's UK roots, Target is making the collection available to international fans as well via online luxury retailer Net-a-Porter which will carry a curated assortment of this limited-edition collection. You will find bold color combinations - like blues and greens or warm reds with mixed oranges (some of my personal favorites), some sculpted silhouettes and very smart use of color blocking as well.

I'll give you a mix of my shots at the Press Event and their pro shots of the line so you can get a good feel:

PETER PILOTTO for Target Blazer in Blue Black White Colorblock Shirt in Red Floral Print Pant in Black Check Print
Pictured Above: PETER PILOTTO for Target Blazer in Blue/Black/White Colorblock Jacket ($49.99), Shirt in Red Floral Print ($19.99), Pant in Black/Check Print ($34.99)

Above: I am absolutely LOVING this jacket! I personally would not wear it with something with a print under it as shown, I'd go solid, but this jacket is probably the most 'me' piece in this collection! But as a typical all things black clothes loving New Yorker, I guess it's no surprise that this jacket would be my standout favorite.

PETER PILOTTO for Target Belted Dress in Red Floral Print

Above: This is probably more print all at once than I'd personally do, but I adore the color combo, red/black/white and grey are a personal fave of mine, I will admit the stripe makes a very slimming optical illusion for the eye, so this may be one I need to try on myself before I decide!

I think it's clever how the dress is being worn right on top of the Shirt in the Green Floral Print in Purple Floral Print (if your summer arms are not quite in shape yet, having a little sleeves in a nice lightweight material is perfect!

I am fond of Turquoise/White/Brown or Black in summer, so these color combinations were definitely a hit with me!

My Take:

Check out the pictures in our Pinterest Board, where you can see everything in full size! This collection is a bit like a Kaleidoscope come to life, with super vibrant patterns, splashes of bold color and an easy spring into summer mix and match appeal. You are going to have to fun with the sunglasses, and the Totes with their matching Slip-On Shoes keeping a unified look among the various wardrobe mix and match color and  endless pattern combinations that are available.

The collection will be available begining February 09, but won't be available for long, so be prepared to pick your favorites using their look book. This way when the ordering lines open you already know what you want and have a plan of attack and game plan to get your favorite pieces! Check out the Official Look Book HERE!
