Kaiser Karl Reigns with New Macy's Line

All hail the Kaiser! Yesterday Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his new Karl Lagerfeld for Impulse line at Macy's Herald Square. According to the Washington Post, the line is an affordable collection of tweeds, dresses, shirts and shorts, and ranges in price from $50 to $170. And according to common sense, the collection was bound to be fabulous from the get-go. Mr. Chanel himself designing for Macy's? Terry Lundgren couldn't have coordinated a better deal.

Trend Alert: The Apocalypse

The life of an F.I.T. student, hectic! However, we can manage to find time to catch up our lovely readers on some KEY Parisian collections that will be affecting our NYC and American markets come fall.

For the fall 2011 season the Parisian collections have ranged in creativity, inspiration, and skilled work. One trend that seems to be rising from a couple of the power houses though is what I'm interpreting as a post-apocalyptic influence, with women rising as the new queens of the world.
