karen walker resort 2015

i rarely see a karen walker collection that i don’t like. so it’s no surprise that i want to wear her entire un-fussy resort 2015 collection, filled with chambrays and cottons and linens in various shades of blue and white. exactly what has been making up my summer wardrobe these days. i love me a nice smock or shift dress, especially when the proportions are done just right, something karen walker has mastered. and even though i thought i had overloaded on cat prints over the past several years, her latest interpretation is actually really cute! and i’m definitely going to be taking styling cues from that perfect shade of coral lipstick to match those awesome shades.

last season was my first opportunity to attend a karen walker show and i just about died. she’s long been a favorite, and while i wasn’t able to make it to nyfw this time around, i still had plenty of fun flipping through the looks. this season, the new zealand-based designer was inspired by suffragettes, creating a fun and rebellious collection of cool clothes (and sunglasses). she incorporated a striking broken-heart, hand, and hammer print, featured on a few cool dresses and in little brooch pins. and there were cheeky little phrases scattered about. i enjoyed the oversized silhouettes with little nods to menswear and a bit of victoriana thrown into the mix. definitely makes me wish i was the karen walker girl.

my nyfw: karen walker fall 2013 runway

i’ve been a little obsessed with karen walker these days, so i was pretty darn excited to get to attend her fall 2013 runway show. the collection, titled “new rose” drew inspiration from uk music scene in the late ’70s, citing the damned and siouxsie sioux as influences. the collection was a mix of utility and romance, and i have to say i found myself drawn to the pretty pieces tucked beneath big tweed coats.

one spring collection that’s got me swooning is karen walker spring 2013. i’ve long been a fan of her statement sunglasses, but i’m just as enamored with her quirky cute collections. titled “fantastique magnifique,” this collection was filled with retro-futuristic space prints, cool color combinations, and interesting proportions. i love the subtle wink and nod to the past while still keeping things feeling fresh and new. and i can’t wait to get my hands one one of those silly straw hats, which i’ve already pre-ordered for an upcoming trip to a tropical locale!
