They said/We said: Miami-based shoppers furious, as Jason Wu for Target stock sells out to resellers

Comments

Jason Wu for Target hit the stores and the web yesterday at 12:01 a.m., and much to the chagrin (but perhaps not the surprise) of fashionistas everywhere, so did hawk-eyed resellers.

The reselling phenomenon is by no means a new one—need we remind you of the countless H&M collabs?—but a particularly aggressive couple in a Miami Target has managed to capture everyone’s attention.

The clothes-snatching Bonnie and Clyde managed to buy out the store’s Jason Wu stock, scooping up $7,000 worth of clothing into two huge Costco-sized shopping carts (all very handily caught on video by a fellow shopper). It’s pretty obvious the couple was going to resell (we mean, we love Jason Wu too, but who really needs 20 of the exact same baby-blue blouse?).

It seems that diffusion lines are destined to an eBay fate. As it stands, over 12,000 Jason Wu for Target items are already being sold on the online bidding site. What can really be done, though? Should stores produce more? Some are pushing for a reselling boycott, which we are all for. But at the end of the day, if you really want a Jason Wu striped skirt, you’re going to buy the striped skirt—whether it’s from Target or eBay or Bonnie and Clyde.

Missoni Minx! Fendi gold lids! Our top 5 favourite beauty trends coming out of Milan

Comments

Ciao, Milano! Now, it’s onto Paris. But before we turn our attention from Piazza Oberdan to the Grand Palais, we wanted to share some of our favourite beauty looks from MFW. Here are five we love.

Minx nails at Missoni
A departure from the nude nails seen on Milan runways last season, these custom-printed Minx nail appliqués were applied over an iridescent base. We’re praying that like Missoni for Target, these beauties make it to the masses, too.

More news from Target, including 84 new locations

Comments

More news from Target, who now have the leases to 189 stores across Canada, 84 more than we last reported in May. With the announcement of these additional locations comes the news that we can only assume will bring a major revamp to some of the most overlooked spots across the country in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, and Toronto—like west Toronto’s Southside Shopping Centre at Dundas and Bloor. Don’t know it? You probably will, come 2013.  Moreover, Target has signed with Sobeys to be the national food supplier for the chain.

Just picture it: by this time two years from now we will all be lining up outside the stores for Target’s famous collabs instead of crashing the website. We’ll keep you updated, but for now, we’ll spend our time dreaming about Alexander Wang for Target.

They said/We said: Everyone freaks out as Missoni for Target launch crashes the retailer’s site. We present a full recap

Comments

Missoni for Target, the latest designer collaboration with the American retailer launched yesterday online and at all Target locations and no one, not even Target, expected such a high demand for the line.

Shortly after launching online at 6:00 a.m. EST the Target site crashed leaving shoppers frantic for ways to try to buy the coveted clothes. The site was back up later that morning but continued to crash throughout the day with customers resorting Target’s mobile site or calling customer service. Blogs like Racked and Fashionista gave shoppers a play by play of the site’s status.

Now it’s reported that most stores are sold out of the collection—but fear not—a few items are left online and currently, if you search “Missoni for Target” on Ebay, 22,220 results are found. Happy bidding.
