Who's Who @ Tar-get

Isaac Mizrahi is the main designer for Target merchandise. Mizrahi is from Brooklyn, New York and attended college at the Parsons School of Art and Design, 5th Avenue, NYC. In 1987, he got the 'Designer of the Year' award. He introduced his line of home furnishings to Target in 2005 and men's sportswear in 2006. In 1996, he received a special award for bringing fashion to the movies. He is currently working on a television show and a magazine, as well as already being involved in Broadway.

Michael Graves is another top designer for Target stores. Though an architect with his own firm in Princeton, New Jersey, Graves has a special collection of life-enhancing home decor in areas of storage, cleaning and kitchen supplies. He has received a gold medal from the American Institute of Architects as well as one called the National Medal of Arts.

Other Target designers include Liz Lange, Mossimo, Thomas O'brien, Amy Coe, Victoria Hagan, Sonia Kashuk, Sean Conway, Isabelle de Borchgrave and Rachel Ashwell. As students we should care about these designers because they are established and well-known. Their creations and talent are recognized world-wide. We should strive to acheive the same accomplishments, notations and awards.
