My mom called me 'insane' when I emailed her from work with my Missoni for Target wish list the night before the opening. I probably shouldn't tell people that I had her go to Target first thing in the a.m. to snag my must-have items, seeing that I'm a grown ass woman and all. I guess this is one of the perks of getting older and having retired parents living in a town like Tucson where the Missoni collection surely wasn't picked over within the first few hours of arriving on the shelves. Everywhere else it was tagged by the media as 'Missoni Mayhem'. Here are some of my souvenirs;
Recently
high-end designers have been creating lines of their clothing to sell at a cheaper price for lower-end stores. Between the buzz that surrounds these events, the idea that the collections are limited edition and will fly off the shelves and wesbite, people are eating it up.

Lanvin for H&M, Valentino for Gap, and Rodarte for Target are some of the partnerships that have caused this concept in fashion to snowball into things like Missoni Mayhem. While some people think of it as a way to make money by selling whatever they can on ebay, I enjoy it for the thrill. It's a smart and fun way to enhance any wardrobe or home. If you agree then get ready because Versace is collaborating with H&M this November. See you there --unless you have to be at work...then you can email my mom.
