Through Friday, Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey Freeman are unloading suits, jackets, shirts, and ties priced from $100-$300.

**Update: Unfortunately, as it so often the case at these Hart Schaffner Marx events, sizing is quite limited. Only “40R in suits … and 15.5 R in shirts,” according to one tipster.**

Why should you care that legendary designer Jil Sander — The Queen of Less, The Master of Minimalism, The Fashion Reductionist — has signed on as the new creative director for Japanese mass-retailer Uniqlo? [WWD]

Let us count the ways… Sander’s masterful designs will soon be available at Old Navy prices. Not only does that mean a better dressed you, but a better dressed everyone — making it less painful to walk down the street. Also, the move automatically ratchets up the bar for other mass-retailers, which could inspire some similarly breakthrough appointments — We’re thinking Junya Watanabe at J. Crew.
