NARCISO NEWS: Narciso Rodriguez will soon be unveiling a special collection for Kohl’s. According to sources, the designer has been putting together a limited-run capsule collection for the retailer, which is expected to serve as the kickoff for a series of such collaborations at Kohl’s this fall. Little further information could be learned at press time, and Rodriguez could not be reached for comment.
Rodriguez is favored by actresses like Julianna Margulies and Claire Danes, as well as First Lady Michelle Obama, who wore one of his dresses the night President Obama was elected. In 2010, he also did a limited-edition collection for eBay. A collaboration with a designer like Rodriguez will further boost Kohl’s fashion appeal. The retailer also has the Simply Vera Vera Wang line, among others.

Retail rivals Wal-Mart and Target are at it again this holiday season, fighting a pitched battle for consumer dollars.

A great deal of shoppers will be avoiding crowded stores this year, and why not, with free shipping abounding from online retailers including Finishline.com, DSW.com and Zappos.com. And customers can receive up to 20 percent off merchandise from a number of other retailers on the Web.
3 National Chains

Stepping up their game this holiday season, Kohl’s will be expanding the number of days customers can earn and redeem “Kohl’s Cash” in-store coupons.

Electronic megastore Best Buy has big plans for the season, including giving consumers’ pockets a break with their “Deal of the Day,” where savings are offered daily on everything from gaming systems to stereos, now through Christmas Eve. The company also will hire more blue shirts to man the Best Buy floors to help with the customer craze.
5 Department Stores
PERCENT OF VOTES 25%
Department stores are always eager — sometimes a little too eager — to get into the holiday spirit, and Sears is no exception. The store has already begun its Black Friday sales, offering bargains on everything from power tools to workboots.

6 Warehouse Clubs
PERCENT OF VOTES 21%
Costco Wholesale will be the place to shop for Thanksgiving dinner this year. After a test run at its New York stores, the company plans to start accepting food stamps at the clubs nationwide. It hopes to honor the program in half its stores nationwide by Turkey Day.

PERCENT OF VOTES 20%
Toys ’R’ Us is reintroducing consumers to the idea of convenience this season.

8 Outlet Stores
PERCENT OF VOTES 20%
Tanger Outlet Centers are spreading cheer through their Twitter page this winter. The outlets have already begun to tweet about their Midnight Madness Sale, which starts at 12 a.m. on Thanksgiving night, as well as special sales and steals throughout the stores.

9 Clothing Specialty Stores
PERCENT OF VOTES 18%
Old Navy plans to embrace Black Friday this year, opening its doors at 3 a.m. It also is giving away a Lego Rock Band video game with every $20 purchase while supplies last, and will host its always-welcomed sales, such as 30-to-60 percent off the normal price on a selection of clothing.
10 Catalogs/Mail Order
PERCENT OF VOTES 16%
While ordering via catalog might not give you the opportunity to see Santa at the mall, Lands’ End has one alternative.
