Anna Sui for Target Scraps Gossip Girl Fashion

Anna Sui’s fashion line at Target is highly anticipated but reports have it the designer and the retail store are going to forego with a Gossip Girl inspired collection.
Apparently, an executive of the retail store didn’t want any of that association as the characters are heavily into drugs and promiscuous sex, sending the wrong message.
Here’s an excerpt from the report by New York Daily News:
A “Gossip Girl” insider tells us that a party scene featuring Blair and Chuck (played by Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick) was set to shoot at Sui’s flagship store in SoHo last Tuesday; models being used as extras were to wear Sui’s Target collection. “There was going to be signage, as well as Target symbols in purple and black — Anna’s signature colors,” says the snitch. “And it was rumored that Anna herself was going to be making a cameo appearance.”
Target staffers even sent over boxes of clothes for the episode, labeled with the names of each female character (Jessica Szohr’s Vanessa, Taylor Momsen’s Jenny, Meester’s Blair and the aforementioned Serena). But the store pulled out at the last second.
Reps for Target, Anna Sui and The CW have yet to respond to this report.
