Step, Clap, Go!, 2011 —  Bad News from the Bronx produced by OCTV

To whoop it up in commemoration of the Target GO! International program’s fifth anniversary, the slick masterminds of Opening Ceremony recruited the Bronx’s very own Bad News champion step team to devise this celebratory routine with each member tricked out in re-released archival looks from the GO! International Designer Collective—which has hitherto collaborated with 17 designers including Luella, Paul & Joe (by Sophie Albou), Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, Libertine (by Johnson Hartig), Alice Temperley, Erin Fetherston, Jovovich-Hawk (by Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk), Rogan, Richard Chai, Jonathan Saunders, Thakoon, Rodarte and Zac Posen.

Launching this evening exclusively at the Ace Hotel, Target is resurrecting 34 of the past five years’ best-loved dresses for a limited time… so Step, Clap, Go (and get ‘em) nationwide on March 13!

A rather distressing disclosure: While growing up I experienced abounding, prolific and illogical feelings of guilt. They still creep up me to this very day; in fact, I nonsensically sensed a terrible rush of guilt on behalf of Lauren Curry circa ‘97 [the girl featured above] upon viewing this old short. Silly me.

How They Get There, 1997

Here’s an old short by Spike Jonze starring Mark Gonzales!
