Forecast: Retail Madness

Think back a moment to the year 2007. That year brought us many things: David Beckham transferred to the LA Galaxy soccer team, Britney Spears shaved her head, Anna Nicole Smith OD'd, Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU, K.Rudd became PM and ... Stella McCartney's range for Target caused retail mayhem across suburban shopping centres everywhere in Australia.

What a difference 3 years makes: K.Rudd is gone, Britney's hair has grown back, David Beckham is mired in prostitute scandals, the EU is struggling under financial strains and ... Stella McCartney is returning with another Target range.


The range was launched at a garden party in Sydney on the weekend. I wish I had been there, as it all looked terribly civilised and lovely.
