Prabal Gurung's Target Ad is the RomCom You Wish Existed

You've seen Prabal Gurung for Targets' flower-heavy collection, and heard the designer talk about love and happiness, but now you get to anticipate the collection all over again thanks to the just-released commercial. And the concept is...a RomCom trailer. Complete with guitar strummed love songs ("She's Got Something"? by Greg Holden, FYI) and a story arch, actress Olivia Thirlby stars in "Love." It begins when a boy-meets-Prabal-Gurung-clad girl, then they go on a first date, then get silly with trumpets and flowers, then there's some unexplained laughing and dancing, then a rainy-sad-going-away-in-a-taxi moment... You get it. Check out "Love" (coming to a Target near you on February 10) after the jump.
