We Shopped Missoni for Target Last Night: Here's What Fashion Industry Insiders Bought

Last night we got a chance to shop the Missoni for Target collection and boy were we excited. In fact, we were so excited that we arrived 10 minutes early so we could get first dibs on some of our most-drooled-over items. Unfortunately, it seems like every other fashion insider had the same idea, because by the time we got there the temporary pop-up shop had become a temporary madhouse, with some of the items already sold out (don't worry, they will restock today). See what fashion industry's superstars--from Nina Garcia to celebrity stylist Jennifer Rade and ex-Real Housewife Kelly Bensimon--were toting at the checkout.

The Top 10 Missoni For Target Items We Can't Wait to Buy

Missoni for Target doesn't drop until September 13th, but lucky New Yorkers will get a chance to shop the collection--which the internet has been practically drooling over--as soon as September 8th. Missoni and Target are opening up shop at 1095 Sixth Avenue (at 42nd Street) on Fashion's Night Out. But don't get too excited: The store will only be open for three days, or as long as supplies last--which considering the hype around this collection may not be long--and we're sure all three days will be completely BANANAs. So, in order to stay sane (and maximize your shopping time) we've done some careful research and come up with the top 10 smartest purchases from the Missoni for Target collection. Click through to see our top 10 picks.

Missoni for Target Now Selling for Regular Missoni Prices on eBay: Here are the Five Most Expensive Items Up for Auction

The Missoni for Target collaboration was all about bringing Missoni's iconic high-fashion designs to the masses--and at prices people can actually afford. But with the frenzy around the collection being what it was, some entrepreneurial shoppers thought to buy in bulk--and sell the rest on eBay for extravagantly high prices. In other words, it's the fashion equivalent to scalping tickets. Click through to see what Missoni for Target items are going for on eBay, right now. Some are upwards of $1000--and that's nothing to sniff at, not even for a regular Missoni shopper (an average Missoni dress goes for around $1200)!

Missoni for Target Shopping Frenzy Crashes Retailer's Site Within Hours of Going Live

Well, we could have seen this coming: The excitement around the 400-piece Missoni for Target collection--and the millions of eager shoppers--have crashed the retailer's website. At 6:04 am, Target tweeted that the online exclusives were now available for purchase on their site; by 6:46 am, the entire collection was up on their site--But a mere hour later, tweeters were reporting issues with the site, and by 10:00 am the retailer began responding to complaints and acknowledged the site was down. At 10:30 am, the retailer confirmed that "the overwhelming demand for #MissoniforTarget ended up taking our site down."

Missoni for Target Demand Higher Than Black Friday, Here's What's Still Available (The Rest is On eBay)

Is Missoni for Target the most in demand thing ever? As you may have heard, the highly anticipated Missoni for Target collection went on sale yesterday online and in stores. While Target's brick and mortar locations seem to still be in one piece, the same cannot be said for Target.com, which crashed within a couple hours of becoming available, meaning even Target was unprepared for our Missoni for Target hunger. Target told the Times, in a piece published this morning, that the demand was "unprecedented" and higher than Black Friday, you know, the biggest shopping day of the year. The Times hints that the crash may have had something to do with the fact that Target separated from Amazon's ecommerce, but Target says it was due solely to the demand for the products, which we can believe. Shoppers even got creative by ordering over the phone and using Target's mobile site. Desperate times!
