As part of its Designers for Target campaign, the retailer has announced another high profile collaboration, this time with Aussie fashion icon Megan Gale.
Designing homewares is something that Gale has wanted to do for many years and she is looking forward to this new chapter in her life.
“I have always seen home interiors as an extension of personal style and creating my own homewares range has been something I have wanted to explore for some time,” she explains.
“I have taken inspiration from my travels to beautiful destinations such as Santorini, Paris, London and New York. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to experience these cities with my work. I have always loved decor and the designs of various hotels that I have stayed in―they are places that I have grown to love.”
The new collection includes luxurious 100 per cent cotton quilt cover sets, detailed sheets and a selection of accent pieces including cushions, plush throws and towels, with prices starting from $35.
“Comfortable, quality fabrications and attention to detail are all key signatures of my collection. It’s essential for me that my range is accessible for everyone whilst offering something special, in both quality and design,” Gale says.
“Our homes are our sanctuaries, they are where we can unwind and be ourselves. It’s important for me to take the time, effort and energy to create a beautiful atmosphere and I want this collection to allow people to do that for themselves.”
Target has worked with many international artists/designers over the years and managing director Stuart Machin says they are excited to work with local talent such as Gale.
“Megan is not only an international star but now an Aussie mum who oozes fashion and style,” he says. “We’re thrilled Megan has chosen to partner with us for the next phase of her creative career. As you’ll see from her range, Megan has a keen eye for design and we always look for Australian talent and that’s why we were so thrilled to have her join the Target family.”
Gale’s exclusive homewares collection called MG Australia will be available in stores and online (target.com.au) from 10 September.
