The 400-piece Missoni for Target<\/a><\/strong> collection has been eagerly anticipated since images from the lookbook of the collection first debuted on Target’s Facebook page in August, and the launch was to be the first big test of Target’s post-Amazon website. While the marketing campaign was a definite win, it looks like Target’s new site had a momentary fail.<\/p>\n It sounds like hype, but there really is something for everyone here: women’s clothes, men’s clothes, girls clothes, boys clothes, housewares – even a bike! So no surprise that everyone showed up to the site to check it out.\u00c2\u00a0Racked reports<\/a> that demand for the collection, which launches online today, took down both the mobile and standard website. Though we’re currently able to load the site, as lunch time moves across the US we wouldn’t be surprised if there are more moments of server crushing traffic to the site as people flock to the home and apparel offerings.<\/p>\n
