The first photograph of an actual piece of clothing from Karl Lagerfeld’s Macy’s line appears in the August issue of Vogue — a simple $109 floral dress. As a consolation prize, WWD has a look at Karl’s sketches of two additional outfits from the 45-piece collection, ranging in price from $50 to $70, launching in 235 Macy’s stores and online August 31. The line includes Karl signatures, like structured jackets, tuxedo silhouettes, high collars, tweeds, and graphic tees that “you can see … from a distance and know they’re Karl’s,” Macy’s, Inc.’s chief merchandising officer, Jeff Gennette, told WWD. “Some of it customers will get right away — some of it will be a reach.”
