Jason Wu for Target was a complete success! My shopping list read Jason Wu & BBQ sauce (really). I was able to find everything and more. I pulled up to the store at 7:45 a.m. and waited in line, the store opened at 8a.m. and the crowd was under control except one dude who elbowed his way through grabbing 3 of everything, ignoring the 2 limit rule. I had the best time in the dressing room, we were all trading tops, dresses, bags etc. It was pretty cool. Can’t wait to see the next Target/Designer collaboration. Gone are the days of designer duds remaining in the store for weeks after the debut. I remember Richard Chai, Zac Posen, Rodarte, Alice Temperley, Erin Fetherston and Rogan pieces STILL being at target a MONTH later, Sometimes in the clearance section! What the heck happened? 😦 Sadly, if you are not at target the day these collections debut, your pretty much out of luck.
