The markdowns are particularly steep in clothing, which has been hit hardest by a consumer-spending downturn.

Barneys New York on Thursday began offering up to 75% off some clothes, reductions usually reserved for after-Christmas sales, when retailers make way for spring goods. Neiman Marcus Group Inc. also rolled out new sales Thursday offering as much as 65% off cashmere sweaters.

Just got back from the last of 3 very nice parties in Encinitas/South Carlsbad. Spoke to about 3 dozen different people through the nite. No one seemed worried about a thing and everyone was in very high spirits. No recession here.
