1. Peter Pilotto + Target
Come February, Target will release its special collaboration with Peter Pilotto. The unique capsule collection that ranges in price from $16.99 to $79.99 will feature women’s ready-to-wear, accessories and swim in striking blues and greens and warm reds and oranges.

2. Alexander McQueen + Damien Hirst
Alexander McQueen has teamed up with artist Damien Hirst for a one-of-a-kind collection of 30 scarf designs in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the skull scarf. Each artwork is adapted from Hirst’s Entomology series; butterflies, bugs, spiders and other insects have been worked into each scarf design to form kaleidoscopic geometric shapes, laid out to create the signature McQueen skull motif. www.alexandermcqueen.com.
