How this Target collection featuring dresses and swimwear is a step to increase racial equity

Target's next limited-time collaboration is about more than clothes and accessories.

The upcoming launch of the Tabitha Brown for Target collection also is another step the retailer says it is taking to increase racial equity and the number of Black-owned brands, officials shared with USA TODAY.

"As we continue to champion a diverse and inclusive culture for all, it’s important that we curate partnerships that reflect those values," Jill Sando, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, told USA TODAY. "This collaboration was created with a focus on offering a thoughtfully curated assortment that spans several categories and meets our guests’ wants and needs."
