Skid_MacMarx Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 just don't get between a woman and a new outfit or pair of shoes Stella McCartney Target chaos By Jen Melocco and Andrew Chesterton A FASHION feeding frenzy turned violent this morning as women rushed for the Stella McCartney for Target range this morning. There were scenes of pandemonium at the Bondi Junction Target store as women tried to grab hold of the limited edition range by the top line British designer. "Someone just ripped a jacket out of my hands," said Lori Herbert of Vaucluse. Another woman, who refused to give her name, said a clothes rack had been rammed into her side and she feared for her safety in the crowd. Up to 300 women started queing outside the store since 6.30am intent on bagging a bargain. Within 10 minutes of the store opening at 9am all Stella stock, bar one or two t-shirts, had flown off the racks. The first items to fly off the rack included silk dresses for $179.99 and $129.99 silk tops. Celeste Barber, 24, of Balmain had managed to grab one silk dress and two silk tops after being first in the queue at 6.30am. "I've never done anything like this before but it's a one-off chance," she said. Earlier she'd had to defend her top spot from a queue-jumper. Security was called in to take the late-comer to the end of the line. Kylie Jones, 33 of Bondi spent $3000 on clothes. "I just ran and grabbed anything I could," she said. With about 20 items in her bags, she bought multiples of jumpers and dresses in both size 8 and 10. Women also resorted to ripping clothes off mannequins to get hold of bargains. "I really wanted the skinny jeans so I just had to take it off the model, I'm a bit emabarrased," said Daniella Ledaca of Woolloomoolloo. The atmosphere turned ugly at the store however, when word spread that a second lot of clothes were to be put out on the racks. Target staff warned the crowds that they would not release the clothes until they calmed down. A second round of just two racks of clothes were attacked by screaming women before they could even be moved to the designated Stella McCartney area. While there were plenty of happy customers who had bagged a bargain those who had missed out were left dissappointed. "Why is it not organised better?" said Indrani Pillay of Hurstville. "The people who arrived later aren't getting anything". http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor....html?from=news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 just don't get between a woman and a new outfit or pair of shoes [/b] http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor....html?from=news You sure you wouldn't like to be 'that' popular with the women Skid? Imagine it was a famine - and instead of Stella McCartney clothes, it was live animals they were fighting to get at... The poor things wouldn't stand a chance. D'ya reckon anything close would happen if they released some blokes line of fashion that was available at K-Mart? Maybe if Ferrari released a $20,000 'consumer' version of the Boxer, for sale at Holden dealerships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BribieG Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Got absolutely filthy looks from a guy as I walked off with the last carton of Mercury Cider from our local Liquorland last Friday - if it was a woman cider addict I would probably be sporting nail scratch marks all over me by now.

And if you'd stood at the counter after purchasing that last carton; and began sucking down some cider... the guy would more likely mutter obscenities before wandering off in a huff, while a woman would put you six feet under.

Guest EZYHD Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Its crazy, I asked my wife last night if she or anyone else she knows, would know a fashion label if they saw one in the street, and she said "I'd very much doubt it" and this from a lady who knows her brands. So think I'll stay with my BigW chinese made shirts for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoNFooZeD Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The irony is that if those same clothes had a target label on them instead of <insert name of some overhyped lovechild of a popstar> then nobody would look twice at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed! I would have thought it was the person inside the clothes who should be worthy of a second look, rather than the clothes... but we all know that it's how we're seen, that's more important than people seeing us.

Guest EZYHD Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 eBay buyers do strange things, for instance I sold my Playstation 2 for $170 a new one is not much more than that. Then I sold a 12 month old very basic Acer laptop for $100 less than I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
