Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's Unveiled

For those who aren't already aware, Karl Lagerfeld has collaborated with Macy's to create a line exclusively for the department store which is slated to hit 235 locations on August 31st (that's only 25 days away...but who's counting?). Lagerfeld was the first really big name to create a line for Swedish-based mega store, H&M, paving the way for others like Lanvin, Versace, and Jimmy Choo. His newest collection consists of 45 pieces and ranges in price from $50 to $170-totally reasonable for a piece personally designed by a fashion legend, no? Lagerfeld's classic asthetic is the star of the show, but there are few surprising pops of color and floral mixed in that soften up some of the looks a bit. A simple black dress with a crisp white collar stands out as the most Chanel-like, but the thick, tweed seperates in this collection are definitely reminiscent of the label. I kind of like that this is more Karl Lagerfeld than it is Chanel. It's something a bit different, but still gives you the luxury look for less.Check out my favorites from the collection below!


This shirt would be perfect for a menswear inspired look.

Nothing says "I'm cooler than you" better than a tank with Karl Lagerfeld's mug on it.


Florals give some of the pieces a wonderfully feminine feel.

These sleeves are insane. Must get my hands on this dress pronto!





Of all the pieces in the collection, this one screams Chanel, with it's crisp white color and retro feel.






You can probably expect to wait in line outside hours before Macy's opens to snag yourself a piece of Mr. Lagerfeld...but will be totally worth the wait. Dear Wells Fargo, please excuse the lack of funds that will be gracing my accounts this month, as I have much more important things to attend to.
