As anyone who's seen Unzipped knows, Isaac Mizrahi is a colorful person- and his bath collection for Target is no different. Bursting with bold colors like hot pink, flame orange and electric yellow, Mizrahi's bath series is as over the top and dramatic as the man who designed it.

Mizrahi's bath designs for Target are heaven to someone like me who just can't get enough of colors that knock you out with a one-two punch of BRIGHT and BOLD. His "Pop Flower" bath accessories collection is a glorious combination of electric pink and orange that is sure to wake you up in the morning. I realize it's a bit (ok, a lot) bright for a lot of people, but for those of you like me who love poppy color, this stuff is brilliant. The collection includes a soap dish, tumbler, lotion pump, toothbrush holder, waste basket and shower curtain, each in super saturated pinks and oranges. This sort of color scheme might be best suited for a tween's room, or perhaps used sparingly in a room that needs just a little something. Starting at $10, the collection certainly allows for some playful experimentation that won't break the bank.

If you're still not sold on bright pink and orange, Mr. Mizrahi designed two other accessory collection that might be more up your alley. The Mixmaster Lucite and Blue Camellia collections are clear and white respectively and let you bring a little Isaac into your house without feeling blown away by bold color (or any color at all).

Anyone know about the quality of the towels?
I am also curious about the quality. Indeed, I find it difficult to find quality towels even in Bloomingdale's. Any suggestions?
I think it is excellent that someone named "Terry" asking about towels. Terry! Towels! Bbbbbwwaaaahahahahahahaa!
Ok, slow day at work.
and ironic that she can't find ones that suit her
Terry. My favorite towels are the W Hotel towels (which are available for purchase online--and I believe at the W Times Square retail store) and the Paradigm line of towels at Restoration Hardware. Both lines are Turkish-made and have pretty high gram counts. The downside is that the bathsheets run $40-50 each, but Restoration Hardware is currently having a 20%-off sale.
"Anyone know about the quality of the towels?"
Oddly enough, I was at the NYC Target yesterday, where the turquoise versions of Mr. M's towels were on clearance.
I wansn't blown away by the quality, but they also didn't seem overly-feh. In all, something you won't keep that long - but who cares, because in a few months the color's going to make you crazy anyway.
Thanks pphillipp. I'm loving bright, citrus colors now, but I tend to keep towels a LONG time, so that's probably not the right place to sink the cash on this. I do like those accessories, though.
"but I tend to keep towels a LONG time"
Oh, then I *definitely* would not count on these - although, especially on clearance, they were DIRT cheap.
I purchased some IKEA "Sanni" (I think?) towels - white, with a "cut-channel" design, vaguely spa-ish - they were cheap as all get-out, and have held up amazingly well. The terry loops are very tight, so they don't pull or rip - which makes the towels look better, longer.
