The big-box retailer announced Monday that it had tapped four designers — Comey and Liang, as well as Victor Glemaud and Nili Lotan — for its fall collection, which will debut in stores and online in September.

Comey, Liang, Glemaud and Lotan have collectively designed 180 items, most of which will sell for under $50. Comey designed denim handbags and leather blouses while Liang made smocked dresses and patchwork fleece. Glemaud’s designs include colour-blocking statement items and Lotan’s designs include outerwear and slip dresses.
