The List: Top 5 Designer Collaborations
By Marisa Lynch FOR LA2DAY.COM 11 May 2008

From Alice Temperley to Jovovich-Hawk, megastore Target has partnered with some of the most talented designers around creating limited collections at just a fraction of their usual cost. Called the GO International line, designers such as Erin Fetherston, Paul & Joe, Luella Bartley and Behnaz Sarapour have all collaborated to create mini-collections to accommodate those of us who track the exact day our paychecks get directly deposited. The big red bullseye wins for best fashion teamwork. Tim Gunn would be proud. www.target.com

Philip Lim has given the old school Birkenstock hippie-esque double strapped sandals a brand new look. One that won't offer a way for anyone to wear white socks with them. Lim adds metallic and patent fringe along with dainty straps to maintain the bohemian look that works for Woodstock and W. 3rd Street. www.birkenstockusa.com

Following in the steps of Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince tackles the handbag and joins Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton with his ‘Big City After Dark' collection. The basic LV logo bag has been reinvented yet again with watercolors and vibrant shades of pinks, blues and yellows by the American artist. Nice bags for us, plus it helps up the street cred for LVMH. www.louisvuitton.com

Uber model Kate Moss teamed up with UK based Topshop to create a collection of clothes that will make anyone feel like they're on the cover of Bazaar. Her pieces for this season, the 5th collection, come from her travels to India and Spain and are complete with embroidery, bold prints, and thin flowy fabrics. It feels nice to be in the shoes of a supermodel. www.topshop.com
