This week, I attended the Karl Lagerfeld for Impulse preview, where I was able to get a first-hand look at the designer's exclusive collection for Macy's, slated to arrive just in time for fall.

What I'm dubbing the perfect day-to-night collection, the Karl Lagerfeld for Impulse spectrum ranges from refined dresses and blouses to menswear, outerwear and tees with more of a rock 'n' roll edge. Complete with the designer's signature high-collared neck, the collection features a melting pot of textures (chiffon, knit, tweed and leather being among them) with pieces priced on average from $50 to $170.

"To me Macy’s is the perfect department store in the US where everybody can find what they're looking for without ruining their budget,” said Karl Lagerfeld. “That’s why I am happy to make this limited collection just for Macy's."

Mr. Lagerfeld's limited-edition capsule (see more styles here) will be sold in approximately 235 Macy’s stores nationwide and on macys.com/impulse beginning August 31.
