Rx for a shady day....

Karen Walker is a New Zealand born fashion designer with a reputation for her original, effortless and unpretentious style. The Karen Walker clothing labels are stocked in over 140 stores throughout the world in cities including New York, London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Sydney and in over 20 cities throughout Japan. She receives fantastic editorial coverage including regular pages in American and English magazines such as i-D, Dazed and Confused, Elle, Black Book, Vogue, W and Nylon. Karen’s collections are high casual with one foot in tailoring and the other in street wear. The reoccurring theme is taking extremes and pushing them together - masculine and feminine, tailored and street, luxury and non luxury, dark and super-cute. Overall the label has a feeling of effortlessness and has been described by the U.K.’s Independent newspaper as being ‘The kind of look that provides a means of appearing cool but not trying-too-hard, cute but not saccharine, alternative but not self consciously so. The fact that these clothes appear to be so totally not ‘fashion’ is what makes them so now”. Check out more here!!!!
