THE NEW JOHN DERIAN FOR TARGET COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE ON SEPT. 5, 2010. PREVIEW THE GORGEOUS GOODIES HERE.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the new John Derian line for Target, which hits stores in September, and rightfully so. His company, established in 1989, employs a small staff of artists to create his handmade designs, which include his iconic decoupage items, as well as antiques, linens, and a line of stationary.

Derian’s decoupage pieces, which employ the art of cutting and gluing paper images to surfaces, are whimsical combinations of fruits, flowers, animal prints, and centuries-old ledgers and letters. These eccentric collages are then reprinted and pieced togehter in layers under glass accessories, such as plates, platters, paperweights, etc.

Target did an incredible job at translating his popular pieces into homewares for those who can’t afford a Derian original. The line will include plates, platters, stationary, and a host of other gorgeous accessories to disperse around your home. I am in love!
