I love the collection, and there's a lot of stuff that are my style, and I plan on getting a lot of it (even though I'm a guy)
NYtimes fashion critic that saw the collection at the preview says its better than the H&M line.
Macy’s unveiled its newest fast-fashion collection, this one designed by Karl Lagerfeld, on Wednesday evening in a SoHo gallery that had been decorated with multiple portraits of Mr. Lagerfeld in the front and images from a related ad campaign in the back. The ads show Coco Rocha, photographed by Mr. Lagerfeld, wearing his clothes in a library setting, not that they seemed particularly bookish.
What struck me about the designs, actually Mr. Lagerfeld’s second endeavor into the mainstream market, after his pioneering collection for H&M in 2004, was how much more sophisticated they seemed. (They will be at Macy’s on Aug. 31.) His earlier work for H&M, as I recall, was more focused on T-shirts bearing his image, some nicely Euro-styled tailored jackets, too-tight turtlenecks, a couple of black silk dresses and shirts with stiff high collars. They were his signatures at the time.
But for Macy’s, which showed only half the collection at the event, Mr. Lagerfeld offered a broader range of day dresses and suit-y looks in rich-looking fabrics that offered a little more versatility: a simple black blazer with drainpipe sleeves, shown over a two-paneled wrap dress of white cotton and black wool, or a short skirt and matching sporty jacket in a silvery tweed printed to look like snakeskin. Most of the items are expected to cost less than $300, and most of them looked worth it. Still, Mr. Lagerfeld couldn’t resist a few indulgences, like a couple of dresses with high collars and, of course, a pair of self-referential T-shirts. (nytimes.com)

that's actually encouraging...
i didn't check out the kinder aggugini or matthew williamson stuff so to hear that the quality looks good is a definite plus..
i still wouldn't want to pay too much for any of this though

OMG are you serious?!
Karl Lagerfeld for Macys with Coco Rocha.
behind the scenes video with Karl, it shows some of the other ads.

yesterday, i found myself with some time to kill at macy's so i tried on a bunch of items.
sizing was WEIRD.
the sleeveless turtleneck tweed dress was very gappy underneath the arms. you'd need enormous knockers to pull it off and fill the gap. otherwise your bra would show.
the long sleeve floral blouse for 80$ was also had a lot of fabric underneath the arms. (the rest of the blouse was cut closer to the body)
the short puff sleeve tulle trim blouses are very short on the waist. they are also impossible to put on without someone to assist you in buttoning the garment.
the maroon flower print dress that was in photographed in vogue has a slit in the chest underneath the peter pan collar. even after buttoning it it still showed an enormous of skin (and my very low cut strapless bra)
the sleeveless dress with the high white starched collar looked ok, but again it was also gappy and showed my bra.
one item i didnt try on, but didnt look too bad on the hanger was the navy 109$ ponte dress that came with its own wide belt. it reminded me of some pieces he did for fendi in the mid 80's.
in short, sizing was very problematic and i wont be purchasing anything here (unless i can get it for 80% off
)
hopefully giambattista valli for macy's will be better!
