Missoni line for Target. Love or hate?

Missoni has this new line for Target, and I despise it. I think I might have an UO here. It was on E! and a couple other shows, and just to give you an idea, this is some of the designs.

My friend works at Target and she hates it as much as I do, but she said the stuff is selling like hotcakes, and Target's site is down because of it. I wanted to know, what does MN think? Do you love the line or think its crap?

 

I will say, there is one dress from the line I like, and it doesn't have the zigzag pattern.

Re: Missoni line for Target. Love or hate?

  • There is one scarf that I really liked but the rest is NMS and by the time I finally got through on the site it was sold out. I do like some of the little girls clothes for my daughter but I will not spend that much money on kids clothes.

  • I like some of the accent pieces, ie a clutch or scarf but other than that its NMS.
  • I think lots of it is cute, but would look better if the pieces were broken up.  The way they're presented = pattern overload. 

    The floppy hate = cute.  Clutch = cute.  Brown tank with zigzag bust = cute.  Worn together with matching tights, scarf, hoodie, and shorts = not cute.

  • I saw the commercial for this on the t.v. and I have to keep looking away from the t.v. cause it gives me a headache. Waaaay too many zigzags. It's just NMS

  • In pieces I think it would be ok, but I can't stand the commercial it's too busy.  I probably won't be buying that this season though.  I am also not a fan of the colors.  NMS
  •  I think it is ugly, maybe a scarf but thats about it

  •  But I agree with everyone else all together is way too much

    The colors and the overdone pattern is what I don't like. It reminds me of something I'd find buried in the back of my mom's closet from the 70's. It's trending on Twitter and sold out in 2 LA stores in 30 mins. I don't get it.

    I wish I was a trendy famous designer so I could make ugly pieces and everyone would buy it and think I was awessoommee.

  • It looks like an afghan my grandma knitted me.  I agree with what Ojo said - one piece by itself would be cute but all together they are fug

  • Also reminds me of my grandmother's afghans that she crocheted way long time ago.

    I also agree with Ojo that some of the pieces by themselves would be cute. All of it together? Overkill.

  • Yuck. Hate! It hurts my eyes Tongue Tied

    Photo bomb, yeah!
  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises it.

    I hear 70's porn music every time a commercial for this crap pops up.

  • I like the colors.

    I was also that kid in junior high stealing clothes from my mom's bins of 70s clothes.  She had this awesome sweater that had the scarf attached and the pockets on the front of it were shaped like mittens.

  • WAY too busy for me.  The colors are kind of drab and the pattern is pretty horrid.  I'm a solids kind of gal with the very occassional patterned piece.  I prefer to let my accessories do the talking.

  • I feel like if I wore that I would have to take a dramamine first.  It makes me dizzy and not in a good way.  Oh well to each her own. 
  • I've never cared for Missoni to begin with so I'm certainly not going to run out to get crappy Target quality Missoni. I was actually just there and was seriously shocked at people with their carts overflowing with the stuff! clothes, shoes, bedding, stationery, if it said Missoni, people were buying it out. It was really weird.

    On that note: I STILL don't know who/what Missoni is. Nor do I really care.

    Same here. Never heard of them before this. I feel like this line is one of those things that if it didn't have the Missoni name tag on it most people would think it was hideous.  Most, not all. 

  • I think it's super ugly, but then again I still wear stuff from ten years ago so what do I know.
    Shot first, questions later.

    I've never heard of Missoni until this line. There is one pair of flats that I think are decent, but nothing I'm going to rush out to buy. The rest is No.

  • Also, I'm totally thinking about going to Target today and buying that long blue jacket-thing. It would compliment my Star Wars t-shirt collection perfectly lol. Haters gonna hate!

  • I kind of love it. I wouldn't wear a lot of the pieces together, like Ojo said, but I would wear a good marjority of that collection. I love the colors and the zig zag pattern is fun.

  • Unpopular opinion here...I love it! Obviously not all of the pieces and definitely not all together like pictured (yuck). But some of the individual pieces are great. But I also have always lusted after a real Missoni knit sweater so Target was my only chance of ever experiencing it.

    I also have an unhealthy love of anything with a chevron print.

    I was there this morning and apparently not early enough because stuff was already sold out. I saw a lady with a shopping card piled high of like 5 of every style. She had to have spent thousands considering a sweater was $50.

    I got an umbrella, cardigan and scarf. And yes, it's all very 70s :)

  • It's NMS, but if you can pull it off, good for you.

    I'm just shocked that I've seen all over TN that people lined up at 6am and took off to Target on their lunch breaks for this stuff.  I know, different strokes and all that jazz, but I don't get why people do that for something from Target, even if it is designer.  It's still Target.

  • I'm with Erin on this.

  • All I can say is the 70's is one decade of fashion we should *NOT* be digging up from the graveyard - once was enough!

  • This post reminded me I wanted to look at bedding at Target... only to realize the site is still down.  That just makes me hate this missoni cap more.
