-Formerly esteemed photog Annie Leibovitz is now shooting Sears catalogs. And what’s worse, the stars of these Sears catalogs are those blights on the landscape of pop culture, the sisters Kardashian. Leibovitz shot them for Kardashian Kollection, their new line of clothing with the mass retailer and apparently she didn’t give two shits about it.
