Cynthia Vincent shoes are hard to find in Target !?!

The Cynthia Vincent for Target shoe collection launch was said to be a disaster. Unless you got the pair you wanted. The problem was that even though Target had set the launch date nationwide for this past Sunday many stores didn't respect it.

The line arrived in some stores a week or two earlier, which was great for people who had caught it. Other people went to stores on Sunday and found nothing. Online, some sandals sold out within a few hours.

People were pissed that certain styles they had seen in fashion magazines and blogs never made it to Target stores. The brown gladiator wedges existed only in photos. From what i seen at Target the printed wedge and the strappy ring flat sandal were the only ones available.(Online, you can see if a store near you has them.)


Racked reports that some Target employees weren't even familiar with the collection, some were confused or misinformed.

The LA Times fashion blog: "If Target is going to continue it's strategy of whipping shoppers into a frenzy every few weeks over a new designer collaboration, it's  going to have to deliver."

The blog also reports that a spokesperson for Target said it would be re-stocked in mid-May.

For me, Target has finally created the best collaboration of designers!( Jean Paul Gaultier, Sonia Kashuk, Mossimo, etc.)

There have been some problems recently. Let's see how Target handles its launch of Zac Posen's collection, which is due to hit stores on April 25.
