Yesterday, Doo.Ri fêted the completion of her line for Macy’s Impulse. Following Karl Lagerfeld‘s almighty Chanel suit, she’s next in the throttle for a release at Macy’s. The collection embodies her masculine crispness with feminine textures, and the good news is, aside from two jackets, the entire collection is under $100! We caught up with Doo.Ri and asked about the Unkle Karl and her upcoming collections.

As Macy’s enters into the second year of its capsule initiative, we’ve been waiting to hear which designer the department store will collaborate with next. Lucky for all the ladies, Doo-Ri Chung was just announced as the next creative mind to turn out designs for Macy’s contemporary fashion department Impulse. Hitting stores February 15, the collection will feature art-inspired prints, jersey pieces mixed with leather, beautifully detailed knitwear and Doo-Ri’s iconic draping, all at an affordable price. Click to see three exclusive sketches from the collection.

Fashion Week has spread its Spring seed. The Big 4; NY, London, Milan and Paris have offically had their say, and now we can reflect. (We’re certainly not reflecting on NJ Fashion Week. Wait, what? That exists?! No, no. Well, yes. But really, no.) We’ve collected the trends that have spoken. The four trends that dominated the four cities we trust with our fashionable senses called out to us from many a runway. We’ve taken our favorite from each city, each trend that matters. See what’s abuzz here, there and everywhere for Spring 2012.

There’s a definite consensus around the FashionIndie office regarding this season at the tents: lackluster. Gone was the excitement and the thrill of the new and in its stead stood a circus comprised of the old guard impatiently appraising the crop of would-be streetstyle stars and the army of bloggers hanging about as they waded through the muck of the nameless and the irrelevant to find a collection onto which to pin their ever-dwindling hopes . Still, there were a few shows that set the five barely-beating hearts of FashionIndie racing and had our backs aching to be clothed in their bright and bold designs.

I smell a trend that’s coming up daisies. Illustrated florals have gone sketchy and have hit several runways before day three. Luca Luca, Cynthia Rowley, Doo.Ri and Duckie Brown have turned up the flower power for boys and girls to shower over Spring 2012.

Doo.Ri has taken lady-menswear to a very sleek place. The effect harks back to ancient Greece and the nature of drape as it adds softness to the harsh lines of les hommes.

If you adore Doo.Ri, you’re going to love the brand’s secondary line UNDER.LIGNE. In this beautiful film shot by Christopher Starbody, model Tasha Franken shows off UNDER.LIGNE’s beautifully whimsical fall 2011 collection to the sounds of Phone Home. Video after the jump.

Doo.Ri Fall 2010 was a bit of a disappointment in comparison to previous collections. Doo-Ri Chung started off strong with two gorgeous navy structural pieces (a suit and belted dress) with draped black netting detail. But things went awry when Chung dabbled with bright red, sequins and several musky patterns. Interspersed with a few good looks, namely the rust leather jacket and draped silk dress, the collection had a few memorable pieces, but generally speaking, Chung was a bit off this season.
