UTOPIA by Karen Walker

Karen Walker's new Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is now out.

The Utopia collection lives up to its name for me as these pieces are to be desired and have perfect qualities in my opinion, unfortunately my bank account won't allow me to own any of these pieces *sigh* so I'll continue to live in my dystopian fashion wardrobe.

I'm really liking the print pieces that KW has put into this collection. Sometimes designers go over board in the print area which leaves me a bit confused as to what they were thinking, but not with this collection. That's what I like most about KW she makes clothes that you can easily see yourself wearing everyday while still making you stand out just that little bit extra to make yourself feel a little more confident in yourself.

So well done Karen another great collection.

FANTASTIQUE MAGNIFIQUE 2013 by Karen Walker

I am loving what is to come from Karen Walker in 2013. The clothes picture above are only a handful of my favourite pieces from the next collection Fantastique Magnifique, all these clothes pictured are for the Southern Hemisphere section, since that is where I live I am mainly interested in these pieces.

I am especially loving all the blue clothes, but that could be because it is my favourite colour. This collection is clean cut and features trends like white on white, ruffles, sixties influence and tailored suits all of which are going to be big hits in the Southern Hemisphere come Autumn and Winter.

My wardrobe will be dreaming of owning many pieces of Karen Walker's collection Fantastique Magnifique.

The Candy Woman Can

My future/dream job is to work for some high end fashion magazine, so I constantly hunt down whats happening in the fashion world. In the last couple of years I have really been focused on what NZ designers are doing and I am happy that more and more NZ designers are getting recognised for their amazing work. Recently Karen Walker launched Karen Walker Candy Bar, for 12 months this Candy Bar will travel around the world stopping in different countries to showcase these limited edition sun glasses, the first stop was in Tokyo Japan at the boutique store called RESTIR. It got me thinking on what an amazing concept this is, to travel around sharing her designs like this, imagine the people you would meet and the pictures you could take. I hope more NZ designers come up with great ways to showcase what they do to the world, it would be good for the countries self-esteem.
