There was a lot of buzz started in hundreds of magazine over the last few months as well as celebrities Tweeting about the release of the 400 pieces of Missoni for Target, so they knew there would be a positive turn out when it was officially released to the public.
Last Thursday Target opened a pop-up store in Manhattan that was said to be open for 3 days and in a matter of 6 hours all the Missoni items were sold out.
“Items are continuing to trickle into store, so check stores early and often,” says Dustee Jenkins, VP of Communications for Target.
