stoked to do. The fact that I was able to work with my brother just made it
even sweeter," said Shaun.

were extremely excited to have the chance to create apparel together.
Target was amazing to work with and supported our vision every step of the
way. We love the way the line turned out."

Target collection brings our guests a fresh perspective on casual apparel
