Doo-Ri Chung, who was recently named the next featured designer for Macy’s Impulse. This announcement came just days after Michelle Obama wore one of her pieces to a state dinner with the South Korean president.

Women’s Wear Daily reports that the Korean designer has created a lower-priced capsule collection for the retailer. The line will debut on February 15 and will sell for eight weeks in 225 Macy’s stores and online.

As nearly every high-fashion designer has said of collaborating, “The customer is very different from whom we’ve catered to before, but I really didn’t have to adapt. Macy’s wanted to keep the design level high. I didn’t feel the challenge was very different,” Chung told WWD.
