Fashion Forward Fridays: Kim Kardashian Is Coming To Town, Macy's Selects Chicago's Barbara Bates, & Other Fashion Launches

Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian are coming to put the Chic in Chicago on April 20th.  The sisters will make an appearance in the Sears store at Woodfield Mall (Schaumburg) to promote the Kardashian Kollection.  Catch the ladies from 5 - 6 p.m.

The first 200 people in line who have made a purchase of the Kardashian Kollection clothing, intimate apparel, accessories, shoes, or home fashions from a Sears store between 4/15 and 4/20 will meet Kourtney, Kim, & Khloé and get an autographed photo.

This week, Macy’s Buyer Caprice Willard selected Chicago's own Barbara Bates as the lucky designer to have merchandise sold exclusively online and at Macy’s Herald Square. Customers from coast-to-coast can purchase looks straight from the “Fashion Star” runway, while supplies last at macys.com/fashionstar,  Barbara's two selections are featured below.

Another designer we're proud of is Rae Lewis-Thornton. The RLT Collection is a line of fashion bracelets designed and handcrafted by Emmy Award-Winning AIDS Activist Rae Lewis-Thornton. Known for her glamorous style and sophistication, Rae has applied her years of fashion savvy to her line of bracelets. Consistent with RLT Collection's theme - A Bracelet For Every Woman - this line of fashion bracelets are, classic, sophisticated, glamorous, avant-garde, fun and affordable!
