Minneapolis, MN (USA) – Celebrated American designer Jason Wu is introducing this spring an affordable, limited-edition collection of women’s apparel, handbags and scarves for Minneapolis-based retail chain Target.

"By working with Target I was able to create an accessible collection that reflects my sophisticated design aesthetic" said Jason Wu. "As with my main collection, special attention has been considered into every detail and I can’t wait to see girls wearing and enjoying these clothes."

Born in Taiwan and raised in Vancouver and the US, Jason Wu realized his love for fashion at a young age, and began sketching clothes at the age of nine. Since debuting his first Ready-to-Wear Collection for Fall 2006, he has become recognized for his unique and distinctive style, merging American sportswear with old world sophistication.

For this new collection, Wu took inspiration from the idea of an American girl in Paris, wearing sophisticated apparel and stylish accessories. There are 53 pieces that easily transition from day to evening such as A-line silhouette dresses, tie-waist shifts and high-waisted skirts accented with Wu's signature detailing.

The Parisian inspiration is found in the designer's exclusive muse, Milu, a mischievous, illustrated black cat that is found on a t-shirt, tote bag and silk scarf.

The Jason Wu for Target collection will be available February 5 through March 6, 2012.
