Karl Lagerfeld to design lower-priced line
Designer Karl Lagerfeld will launch a lower-priced collection named Karl.
What has come over designer Karl Lagerfeld? He launched a capsule collection for Macy’s in August. Every piece was priced under $170. It didn’t create the shopping frenzy that Missoni did at Target, but it must have been successful enough to make him start thinking about mass fashion.
Now comes word that the designer for pricey Chanel and Fendi will launch his own lower-priced collection named Karl. ”I just want not too expensive clothes that people may like and want to wear,” he told WWD.
The new Karl line will include about 100 pieces and is aimed women in their late teens and 20s.

Enjoy the next few days because the weather is expected to change later in the week. With highs in the 50s, it’s going to feel like winter, especially in the morning.
So, what item of fall clothing are you most looking forward to wearing? Chunky sweater, boots, coat, cape?
Fall clothes are so tempting. Jewel-toned colors, mild neutrals, texture, ladylike details such as bows , elongated hems and higher waists, fuller pants, menswear styling, capes and ponchos.
DeDe Benham, co-owner of Balliets at Classen Curve, describes fall clothing as polished, more grown-up and a reflection of fashion in the ’50s and ’70s.
Bring on winter.

Steal her look: Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones always looks beautiful, and she didn’t disappoint when she hosted the Motion Picture & Televisioin Fund event last weekend.
Her stunning makeup was created by celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman. He shares his how-to steps so we can all create the shimmering pewter and lilac look.
Moisturizer: Dermalogica oil free. I use this sheer yet hydrating lotion as a primer.
Eye cream: Chanel Sublimage. I love how it disappears. I apply before and after foundation to keep the eye area dewy and pliable.
Foundation: I mixed two, Make Up Forever’s HD in Soft Sand and to warm up a touch, I added Fresh’s Umbrian Clay in Marrakesh. Catherine was sporting a beautiful tan already, so I wanted to keep in that vibe.
Bronzer: Jemma Kidd Bronzing Trio compact. I like the three colors of soft bronze tones and slightly shimmery finish.
Concealer: Laura Mercier Camo. I went a touch lighter under the eyes to give the softer shadows a pop more definition.
Blush: Maybelline’s Dream Mousse in Soft Plum. I wanted to keep the cheeks womanly but add a touch of sheer sweetness. This formula and color is perfect for adding drama without looking over done or too made up.
Eye shadows: MAC. Lid: Yogurt with a highlight of White Frost in the center to give the lid a moist, wet look. Crease: Quarry. Brow bone: Phloof! I used a small damp brush with Idol Eyes at the lash line to give liquid liner depth. This was really a lash and liner story so I went soft and minimal with the shadow. Since CZJ was wearing lilac we settled on a cool toned vibe for the eye in mauve, petal and pewter.
Liquid liner: Shiseido pen liner in Black. My tip: apply a very thin line along lash line from tear duct to end of eye. Let dry and thicken and extend line up and out toward temple.
Mascara: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide in Black. Catherine curled her lashes before and after applying mascara. She did a whopping three coats on top and a just a touch on the bottom. This look works best with a stop top lash line and crisp but minimal bottom lash line.
Brow: Vanitymark Ultra-Brow in Dark Choco. Since the hair has an upswept, Ursula Andress vibe, I defined Catherine’s brow with a lot of structure to balance the uber-glam feel.
Highlighter for tops of cheeks: LORAC illuminating powder in Spotlight. Great warm, champagne hue is perfect for deeper skin tones or tanned skin.
Lips: Lip liner: MAC Whirl. Lipstick: Lancome Pink Preview. Gloss: Smashbox Golden Purple. My first
thought was to use just the matte lipstick. Catherine wanted something that would pop on the red carpet and stage so we added a glaze of the Smashbox gloss over top to add drama.
