New Macy's line is glamorous on a budget
"The limited-edition dress line is inspired by the designer's Brazilian heritage"

Fashion Svengali Francisco Costa is creating a line of dresses for Macy’s poised to give budget-conscious clothes horses red-carpet pizzazz.
The Calvin Klein star is joining forces with the retail giant to launch a limited-edition dress line inspired by his Brazilian heritage.
“Of course, it’s a must for a red carpet. It’s really easy. It’s really relevant,” Costa told the Daily News Wednesday.
“It embodies the spirit of Calvin,” he said of the line. “So chic. It’s so cool. I’m very happy with it.”
In teaming with Macy’s, the 47-year-old Manhattan designer is following in the footsteps of fashion hotshots Karl Lagerfeld, Giambattista Valli and Matthew Williamson in creating a line for the national chain store.
He plans to unveil Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein collection at the Macy’s Herald Square flagship store May 15.
The dresses — part of a Macy’s spring campaign dubbed “a Magical Journey to Brazil” — will range in price from $135 to $180.

"Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence wore a red Calvin Klein Collection dress designed by Costa at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards in 2011. |
“That’s the exciting thing about this project, being able to offer our quality and our good design at this price point, because now you make it affordable,” Costa said. “You become democratic, and that’s a good feeling.”
Costa, a protégé of fashion legend Oscar de la Renta, has become the go-to designer of Hollywood starlets like “The Hunger Games” heroine Jennifer Lawrence and “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” actress Rooney Mara.
“If you think of Jennifer (Lawrence) in that red dress when she came to the Oscars (in 2011), the collection has the same vibe,” Costa said. “Very athletic, easy, jersey and crepe.”
He said he took his ideas from the things he loves about Brazil - from the flowers and the sunsets to the architecture.
“I love architecture,” he said. “I look at Brazilian architecture and that really translates into clothes. The sense of the color palette, and the sense of having clothes that are easy and urban and contemporary and fresh.”
Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer, said she was thrilled Costa chose the department store as a venue to present his “elegant, minimalist” designs to the masses.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
I bought the LTM6 Tilley AIRFLO hat for my husband on his birthday. It is a great looking hat- makes him look like a real mountain man. When we went to go visit his extended family, everybody tried it on and I genuinely thought that it looked good on everyone. All the relatives want Tilleys now! I can't blame them.
We measured my husband's head according to the instructions on the Tilley website and the hat fits him perfectly. Even walking around in the windy Badlands the hat stayed put. Despite the AIRFLO vents, the hat kept his head (and mine too- I like to borrow it!) very dry during a weekend of rainy camping. The Tilley is absolutely everything a hat should be plus some. We love the Tilley!!!
