Target Announces Finalists of the Target Emerging Designer Award

The grand prize winner will be announced on February 7 at a Private party hosted by Target during Montreal Fashion Week. The Target Emerging Designer Award is linked to the Designers Fund, a joint initiative of Groupe Sensation Mode and Fondation de la mode de Montréal.

As previously announced, Target plans to open 124 stores in Canada beginning in 2013, with the first stores in Québec opening in the fall. More than $10 million will be invested to renovate each location in order to provide guests with an authentic Target-brand shopping experience. Target expects to employ 150 to 200 team members at each location, with hiring for the Quebec market slated to start later in 2013. Quebeckers interested in career opportunities at Target are invited to visit its career website at: www.Target.ca/careers.
