Fashion Week: Sears and K-Mart welcomes fashion press
Maybe it’s a sign of the times. Maybe it’s just good business. Sears and K-Mart beckoned the fashion press during Fashion Week. Here’s a story from Newsday.

NEW YORK — We spend a whole lot of Fashion Week wallowing in the sorrows of never being able to afford the luxurious duds of top designers, and for next season, with the dimmest of economic forecasts, well, bargains have never looked so good.
Which is exactly why the Sears/K-Mart suites set up in the Bryant Park Hotel were so refreshing, timely, and, surprise, surprise, featured some more than decent merchandise.
Contemporary lines for Sears included an adorable ruffled jacket — so on trend — cute trenches, floaty tops, most under $40 (yeah, we said $40).
Don’t miss the shoes, studded flats, saucy pumps all by private label apostrophe, and well-styled pocketbooks that could have fooled us (as in we thought they were pricey) for less than $30.
For back-to-school, there are well-priced jeans in every imaginable style including brands such as Lee, Levi’s and new-to-Sears, Jordache (remember?).
Moving on to K-Mart, cheaper still, a tweedy suit by Jacqueline Smith is a distant but not bad Chanel pretender, and the former Charlie’s Angel translates her animal instincts with a cheetah printed cardigan.
Cool young women may like the faux leather bomber — well-styled and lined with leopard by Piper & Blue, or the funkified pea coat by Route 66. Moms, go here for every imaginable graphic tee shirt from butterflies to zebra prints.
And let’s not forget the Protege sneakers by Al Harrington, the New York Knick. He actually wears ‘em on the court and they sell for $34.99. What a score.
