KMART FASHION ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH SOPHOMORE

NYC  JANUARY 28,2012

Kmart Fashion has partnered with It Girl downtown t-shirt line SOPHOMORE to create a limited edition t-shirt inspired by the frenzy of Fashion Week. Designed by SOPHOMORE’s creative director Chrissie Miller, the #FashionWeekProblems tee espouses the creativity and tongue-and-chic fun of SOPHOMORE with the classic wearability of Kmart Fashion. Emblazoned with the hashtag #FashionWeekProblems across the front, the t-shirt signifies all of the little Fashion Week mishaps–from broken heels to torn stockings–that Kmart’s Concierge service will solve. Designer, DJ and entrepreneur Chrissie (who already counts fashionistas like Chloë Sevigny, Cory Kennedy and Alexandra Richards as fans)  says, “Working with Kmart just made sense. I’ve been a fan of the store since I was a little girl growing up in NYC. It’s such a heritage brand and still a place I go to to find classic basics which I can build into my everyday look.” She continues, “The t-shirt design came about from this idea of #FashionWeekProblems. Who hasn’t had a major shoe emergency on their way to a show or party? A broken heel is every girl’s nightmare!” The t-shirt will be unveiled at a private event in NYC on 2/2 and available as a gift with purchase (while supplies last) at SOPHOMORE’s 143 Ludlow Street store.

The SOPHOMORE partnership is a natural extension of  Kmart Fashion’s ongoing Money Can’t Buy Style campaign–embracing personal style at all price points. Money Can’t Buy Style celebrates individuality and personal self-expression, focusing on the individual fashionista who sets her own trends.For more information on the SOPHOMORE partnership and Kmart Concierge, make sure to follow @KmartFashion.  For more on Kmart Fashion and MCBS please visit  http://kmrt.us/MCBS12
