[loladonna]

I would be incredibly amused if I saw someone camped out for this.

I not going to bother going to stores I think I will just buy on line I think I just want to scarfs anyway.

i wonder which target's actually carry the line. (based on demographics?)

I just saw most of line at Target Philadelphia. It's stuffed onto the Go collection racks without signage. It's about the same quality as any other Target line but it's still cute throw away fashion. Don't think you are getting the real McQueen and you won't be so disappointed. They had most sizes in most of the pieces and the scarves and swimwear.

It will be up online Monday. I called and thats what they told me. I have a friend who works for Target and she also said that about online..

I just got back from the Target on the Northside of Chicago. I wasn't excited about this line at all actually I was only at Target to buy tie-backs for my drapes. I thought the collection was actually better than I thought it would be. The suit is AWESOME. I really wanted to buy it but I work in a super conservative office and there was no way I would get away with that suit. In the end, I ended up with the blue scarf, which is much better in person, and the grey denim shorts.

I went to the Dallas NE SuperTarget this evening and they put out the McQ Line already. I was happy to know that it's available here. Knowing that it was going to be in only 250 stores made it seem like there were slim chances for it to be in Texas. Not all of the pieces are there but there was a good portion with a good selection of sizes. It is Target so you can't expect great quality but there are some interesting details like zipper placement, etc.

I like the blue zip-shoulder mesh sweater (which is long enough to be a dress), the studded shirt dress, and the black mesh cardigan. The tattoo print strapless dress, cropped blazer, and TRS pants were nice, too (though the dress had a very cheap looking faux leather belt). Unfortunately, they didn't have the studded denim jacket, trench coat, sleeveless harness dress, or studded leather vest for me to see. Since there is so much interest in the zig zag gather dress and the scarves, I've lost interest and going to pass on them. The zippered leggings are also very thin and won't hold up for long. Oh... and I wanted the tiger-print silk shift dress but it's not nearly as flattering on as it is modeled. It looks like a sack on me.

I would say most of the line is true to size but the high waist gore skirt and tattoo print strapless dress run small. For the most part, in S, M, L sizes- order your normal size and in number sizes, order 1 or 2 sizes up.

And for the person who wants coupon codes, the only thing that's really out there are "$5 off a $50 purchase" coupon codes. It's easy to do a Google search. What I have learned to do is to break up my purchases into as close to $50 purchases as possible and use the coupon code each time. I save on shipping and $5 per purchase so it all adds up. You can try this code [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]TCMXD39T [/FONT]which was emailed to me a week ago. It probably still works. I have received a newer one since then but I don't know if they makes these coupon codes unlimited use or not so I'll share that one after I use it. You can also use cash back sites like Lucky Rewards so you can get a percentage back later.

So for the people in the Athens, GA area the Target there will NOT be getting this collection. There is a new SuperTarget opening on March 8 in Winder, GA and they will have this. I think I'll order that Harness dress online.

I wonder about Columbus,OH...

Just got back from Target. I tried on almost everything and got the sleeveless harness dress. It is difficult to see the details in the pictures of this dress, but it has a strappy belt that begins under the arms on the side seams, wraps around the back, criss crosses in the front then wraps around the back again and then connects with a dual d ring closure. I love strappy anything and a dual d ring enclosure, so I am very happy with it. My hubby likes it too.

Just called our Target store to see if they had it or would be getting it (didnt think they would) but they had NO CLUE what it even was lol. Have any of you experienced this? Call me crazy but I just feel when its being advertised in alot of magazines & online being from their store they should at least be aware of it whether or not they are getting it.

 

[daisygirl89]

haha i'm sure that's going to happen at a lot of stores. unless maybe in bigger cities, ya know? ... it's probably easier to just buy it online

 

[Scott]

oh it's in A LOT of places,tiffany! i was at the store this evening to check since a few of you were saying the line was already arriving,and they didn't have anything but i asked and the sales girl just looked at me with so much confusion and said "what is that"?

I saw the goods at the Target on Sports Arena in San Diego. I wasn't expecting to find it there at all and even so, it was a couple of racks' worth crammed in with their regular Go International line.

To be honest, what I saw was just okay. The store didn't have the nice suit but it had most of the other things that have been shown online. Much of it consists of '80s throwbacks for kids who never lived through the '80s in the first place. Seriously, if you are old enough to drink legally, or heck, you're old enough to join the military, this line is too young for you.

The only thing I liked was the blue tattoo print scarf. The matching t-shirt wasn't too bad either, but it looked like something you'd buy at the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop . Even so, the scarf was still 30 bucks. Cheap for a McQueen scarf, pricey for a Target item.

I don't think you can expect the Target employees to know about the Designer Collaborations. For the most part, it's just another line of clothing and since they come in and out so quickly, they are not going to keep up with it. I've learned to not even bother asking because you'll always get a blank stare.

My mom called me and told me about this; not that she'd know Alexander McQueen from a potted plant, but I've talked about being a fan... Of course I told her thanks, I've known about this... And she called long-distance all of the stores in my area because she knows I have phone anxiety.

They knew what it was but not whether they'd receive it, apparently.

^at least you're mother is aware of what you like. most of the time when i ask for something like this as a gift,my mummy just gives me the cash
