Coming Fall 2011…
Word is that Target’s next designer collaboration is with Missoni! I find that rather exciting. Like some prior collaborations, this one with Missoni is going to include clothing as well as home goods. I don’t know which I am anticipating more. Reportedly, there will be some 400 items to choose from. I certainly plan to sample at least a few!
About this collaboration, blogger Mary Hall, who apparently goes by the moniker “The Recessionista” wrote, “Will the average Target shopper know who or what the Missoni brand is? I think not.” Well, while I’m not at all inclined to regard myself as average, I am a shopper — Target, Marshalls, Burberry, Prada, estate sales, thrift stores, salvage, outlets, you name it! So, I take great exception to that remark. I find it rather condescending.
Having taste is about more than what’s going on in your mouth; sometimes it involves what comes out of it!
