ITS HERE!; Lagerfeld for Macy's

Lagerfeld for Macy's is final here! This is more exciting to me then Christmas morning! The line was released yesterday at midnight on Macys.com and later that day at select Macy's stores. I literally counted down the hours until it was released, and for good reason! The line is just as brilliant as I expected it would be with a few welcomed surprises. The line is extremely reflective of Lagerfeld's signature look consisting of blacks, whites, and grays, laces and leathers, and a consistent rocknroll edge. Being sold at Macy's, the line is obviously not as expensive as his own line or his lines for other luxury brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Chloe but he has done an excellent job of hiding the low price points with very convincing fabrics and attention to detail. Most of the garments are  made of a cotton/polyester blend instead of the silks and cashmere's he is accustomed to working. Non the less he has pulled it off. Proving that he really is a Renaissance Man when it comes to the fashion industry. He can do it all, and do it all well! The only issue I have with the line are the photos. The promo photos that showed up in the September issue of Vogue show models being photographed by Lagerfeld but when shopping the line at Macys.com the photos you are shown look as if they were shot in the Sears photo studio by someone who has never been educated on photography a day in their life. Like the photographer just set the camera on a tripod, told the model to stand on a dot, and pressed the shutter button. A minor detail like this is really nothing to harp on, especially when it come to Karl so I am going to over look this one and leave with this; I LOVE LAGERFELD FOR MACY'S!
