Karl Lagerfeld Collection for Macy's Is Ready

Karl Lagerfeld may be the busiest fashion designer. He designed six collections a year for Chanel, two for Fendi, and four for his own clothing line. He also designed the Magnum Chocolate Suite in Paris for Magnum ice cream.

Now, Lagerfeld preparing to launch a collection for Macy's department stores, August 31. The collection consists of 45 styles, with priced from $50 to $170. Why Karl Lagerfeld was willing to make a clothing line designed for the middle class?

"A kind of test how to do this kind of clothes in that price range....As you know, I love occasional co-branding," the designer explains in reference to his vast array of alignments including with H&M, Diesel, Hogan and Diet Coke.

Macy's, for their part, is obviously psyched. Martine Reardon, Macy's executive vice president of marketing and advertising explains, "It's pretty amazing to be able to have the talent and caliber of a Karl Lagerfeld working with us exclusively. We are really excited about it. It reinforces our fashion credentials and commitment to younger, contemporary fashion."

Karl Lagerfeld collection will be available at Macy's flagship store in New York and Chicago, including online sales.
