John Derian is such a kick butt designer. The man does no wrong. From the gorgeous shop 'experience' you have the second you step into his NYC and Provincetown, Massachusetts boutiques to the moment you gaze upon his decoupage glass plates (and everything else in his magical world), you'll be smitten with the charm that is the John Derian Company. I was so excited to learn that he will soon have lovely goods available at Target starting September 15 so watch for that -- I'm thinking they'll sell out quickly as I caught a glimpse of some of the collection in various magazines and it will definitely appeal to the fans and to the masses... Some of the items are priced under $15!

For Derian lovers, did you know that he carries vintage repro postcards for a mere $1.50 on his website? I didn't know either until I went poking around there recently. Just a side point but worth checking out for sure.

So watch Target everyone... Products should start appearing on their website soon at this link: http://www.target.com/johnderian

Never heard of him? I really enjoyed reading this NYTimes article about him last year and think you will too. Great overview and such a humble start. Those are the best stories!
