NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Target's(TGT_) Web site is down this morning, as consumers race to get its limited-edition Missoni line.

"We are suddenly extremely popular. You may not be able to access our site momentarily due to unusually high traffic. Please stay here and we'll try to get you in as soon as we can!" the Web site posted as of 11:15 a.m. EDT.

Target also apologized to shoppers via Twitter: "We understand your frustrations. We've reached out to the appropriate teams and they're working to get it fixed."

The highly-anticipated Missoni collection launched this morning both in stores and online. The collection includes 400 items that feature the brand's signature zip-zag stripes. Most items are under $40 and include knit dresses, tights, cardigans, rain boots, bedding, luggage, dinner ware, iPad and iPod covers.

Last week, Target's pop-up store in New York witnessed massive lines and was forced to shut down early after running out of merchandise.

I've never heard of this. What's all the fuss about anyway?

Budget Missoni is not real Missoni.

Ugh, that zigzag thing is awful. Does this mean there will be a billion more people wearing this stuff? D:

I'm not fashionable enough to have heard of this before you posted.

WTF is Missoni ?

 

[BrokenVisage]

What's this about Missouri?

I first learned of this situation from a friend who (hopefully jokingly) posted that she punched someone in the face over a Missoni sweater at Target today. Kind of makes me want to go to a Target and watch...

Those zig-zags look pretty hideous. I saw a sample in The WSJ recently when they covered this. Who knew it was a "signature"?

 

[Numenorean]

I don't know what the fuck Missoni is, but I saw a Target ad featuring it and everything in the ad was fucking hideous. Target's server should be taken offline simply for selling whatever that shit is.

 

[Nik]

It looks like they're wearing awful 50 year old out-door carpeting.

 

[middlehead]

If I see anybody wearing that shit, I'm going to slap them.

Violence against women!!

 

[Anubis]

so its ugly, most likely over expensive clothing people wear

 

[sactoking]

WTF is wrong with women/women's clothing? First I hear about this "Missoni" crap at Le Targe that is hideous and then I hear that Kohl's is trying to induce people to buy a line from a dancer who can't sing or act (Jennifer Lopez).

I mean, seriously, what are some of the popular women's fashions that went mainstream recently?

Missoni: induces seizures
Uggs: stupid big-ass furry boots in 115* heat
Big sunglasses: make women look like insects, i.e. not attractive

 

[Wyndru]

Are these the frumpy dresses that are making our womenz look like they are wearing diapers lately?

Please ladies, please stop. You look stupid.

Neither was I quite frankly. I saw it on the news site I check out and was kind of like WTF?

I was at Target earlier today getting a prescription filled, yay for $4 prescriptions, and there was a lot of commotion about the Missoni. Mystifying. Not cheap enough to be worth buying, and not decent enough to justify all the interest. Guess I don't understand people and fashion.

 

[sdifox]

Boss:What do you think we should do with these end threads? They are not long enough to make one dress. Whe got literally tons of this shit.

Production Manager: What if we tied the threads together and make a multi coloured dress?

Boss: Who is going to fall for that?

Production Manager: What have you got to lose?

Boss: Maybe

Production Manager: Let's make it zig zag to look like it is on purpose

Boss: ok

and the rest is history.

I've never heard of this. What's all the fuss about anyway?

Judging by the commercial, this is like the ugliest line of clothing, and decor I have ever seen, but apparently more people enjoy the trippin' on acid look than I do.
