After the disaster that was Missoni for Target, a single would assume that Target’s on the internet team would have worked out all the kinks for the Jason Wu launch. Sadly, for many who hoped to get their hands on a piece of Jason Wu for Target, the experience was as frustrating as ever.

The 1st sign that issues might not go smoothly was the Target Style team’s response to the a lot of inquiries about when specifically the collection would launch on the internet: “Collection is launching in the early morning. We’ll let you know when it launches, on Twitter and Facebook” was one response supplied to user @raeofsunshine29. Then, around 1 AM EST, came this tweet from @TargetStyle: “It appears that three dresses are available… link: tgt.bz/6018RLbi.”

The link did not show any of the Wu collection for me, so I went to the Wu principal page. You could click on “Jason Wu Clothing” and “Jason Wu Accessories” but both pages had been blank. Looking for “Jason Wu” brought up the dreaded error page. Target Style, both on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, recommended to many who were having concerns to try one more browser – Google Chrome and World wide web Explorer were the two most suggested – and logging into the Target website.

I opened Safari, tried the link again, and at the leading of the page under “Women’s Dresses” were 3 Wu dresses with red plus signs. Clicking on the plus sign brought up the size alternatives, and I was able to order the navy poplin dress that way. Facebook users on the Target Style page started reporting that it was attainable to order the Milu bag and scarf in a related fashion by clicking on the “Women’s Accessories” primary page.

At this point shoppers began finding anxious many had been reporting issues finding items, no matter what browser they employed, and about 30 minutes in people started reporting their carts getting wiped. Simply because only a handful of articles had been accessible, men and women started inquiring about other individuals that hadn’t launched but. Target Style tweeted at concerned client @Jsobko “It’s not all coming at when, a tiny now, a lot more later.” More items could be located on the Wu primary page under “Explore the Details,” which brought up the lookbook with a lot more red plus sign links. Then, all of a sudden, all the red plus sign links were gone and the Wu principal page went back to the preview stage.

Ultimately, some Target Style Facebook users figured out it was feasible to find the articles they wanted with particular keywords, like “cat print.” About an hour after the very first items launched, Target Style tweeted “The full #JasonWuforTarget collection: tgt.bz/6017RLbF” which was a search results page for “Jason Wu for Target.” The Wu major page was nonetheless empty.

I was able to get what I wanted, thanks to Facebook users who posted links as they identified items, but a lot more men and women than not reported becoming actually disappointed and upset with Target, specially immediately after the Missoni fiasco. Of course, by Sunday there were far more Jason Wu for Target items on eBay for the genuinely desperate.

But there could be hope yet: Target Style tweeted at user @Paige2007, “We are anticipating much more items to become available on-line. Check out the @TargetStyle Facebook and Twitter accounts for updates.” Now my fingers are crossed that my orders actually show up.

We’ve been following Target’s Twitter and Facebook feeds these days, and whilst this might be tiny consolation for the people who weren’t in a position to score pieces, we are impressed by how their client service department tries to address each individual tweet they receive. We genuinely feel they want to get it right.

Did you shop Jason Wu for Target on-line? If so, how did it go?

Rachel Zoe might have had that child, but her expanding empire shows no signs of slowing down. From her effective clothing line to her reality television and general stardom, Zoe has grow to be more than just a stylist (honestly, how significantly styling could she actually be carrying out these days?)

Today’s WWD, the paper that gave her very first collection a sizable spread, chronicles her newest projects. Tv is absolutely in the cards, but not in the way you could anticipate.

For one particular, her clothing line now has a New York showroom and two new categories for fall 2012 (observed above): “cold climate accessories” and, not surprisingly, art deco-inspired costume jewelry, which Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman will launch exclusively–a large coup for the relatively new label. Also interesting–the cold weather accessories will come in both genuine and faux fur. Apparently, the line has exceeded sales expectations and will be in 350 to 400 doors this year.

As for the fate of The Rachel Zoe Project? The show has not been picked up for a fifth season and was not filming when WWD visited the studio. So, that does not sound quite promising. But does Rachel Zoe want the exposure of her show for continued achievement? “It’s been four seasons, it’s in 20 countries,” Rachel told the trade. “Businessmen watch it, bankers, I get a lot of hits from a lot of diverse demos. So do I require it? I don’t know. After four years, maybe there’s some thing to be stated for starting some thing new.”

Far more on that ‘something new’: Rachel Zoe, who has an executive producer credit on The Rachel Zoe Project, will be expanding that role with her own television production organization “Rachel Zoe Productions,” even if her own reality show ceases to exist.

So, it sounds like that fortune cookie-esque tweet she notoriously retweeted last month might have been at least half correct. Our concerns for Ms. Zoe: Where is that children’s clothing line and are you giving Jeremiah sufficient operate?

You have to hand it to Madonna. She killed it tonight at the Super Bowl halftime show. She did cartwheels. And walkovers. In stiletto over-the-knee boots. And she’s 53. The theme for the show was a somewhat historically confusing mix of Roman gladiator meets ancient Egyptian. Madonna’s dress was Givenchy couture, the custom headpiece was Philip Treacy (Nicki Minaj’s headdress was Erickson Beamon), and the jewelry was Bulgari.
