As for the collection for Macy’s, “it’s quintessential Lagerfeld but done at affordable prices,” Jeff Gennette, Macy’s Inc.’s chief merchandising officer, told WWD. “It’s really focused on statement jackets, tweeds, novelty fabrics, and dresses” that could either be soft and feminine, or in sculptured, tuxedo silhouettes very fitted to the body, or with Lagerfeld’s signature high collars. Iconic, graphic T-shirts, will also be standouts. “They’re the type you can see them from a distance and know they’re Karl’s,” Gennette said.

Also in the collection: airy tops; colors ranging from soft to ‘‘shocking” pink, and gray to noir; comfortable jackets with crocodile prints, and chic leggings with a rock ’n’ roll edge. “It’s all fashion,” Gennette said. “Some of it customers will get right away — some of it will be a reach.”
