Target/Neiman Marcus' Holiday Collection debut (in New York City pop-up form) last night was laypeople's first chance to see the collaboration to end all collaborations in person—while trying not to get stepped on by camera crews tailing celebrities or crushed by rabid shoppers. Things on the red carpet didn't sound much better. According to Racked's photographer, there was a minor photog vs. reporter throw down due to limited space. All the "pushing" and "cursing" reached its apex as Zoe Saldana was coming down the runway, but "Zoe was just standing there with a 'WTF is going on' face."

So sorry! No Zoe picture for you but there are plenty of designer photos from Tracy Reese to the boys of Rag & Bone as well as some up-close shots of the merch should you be carefully crafting your holiday list right now.
