With all the buzz around Zac Posen’s collection for Target (available on April 25), it seems like very few people remember Posen’s fall 2008  collection for Target Australia.  Outside of the silhouette of the clothes, the feel of his two Target collections are completely different.  His collection for Australia was all-out glamour and much more grown up red carpet, while his upcoming collection (at left) looks a lot more youthful. See the differences (and similarities) for yourself. Which do you like better?

While the print on the upcoming US Target line’s paisley dress seen in Teen Vogue (at left) looks vibrant, the red dress from the Australia collection seems like it would have more consumer appeal.

At left, the dress that will soon be available through Zac Posen’s US Target stores is cool–I love the print and origami details on the waist, while the purple dress, which is similar, from his Australia collection has details that makes it look more like it was made for my grandmother.

The red ruffled dress from the new collection is sure to show up at proms across America, (how we wish Zac Posen for Target was around when we were in high school!) . The red dress from his Target Australia collection (at right) is elegant, but pretty boring.

I prefer the styling–vibrant scarf and buttoned up blazer–from his upcoming collection, but the prefer the high waist, wide leg pant on the suit from the Target Australia collection (right), is kind of chic, to.

Overall I think Zac Posen’s new upcoming collection for Target US wins. Which collection do you prefer?
