Designers: Karen Walker

Karen Walker

Karen Walker is a New Zealand-born fashion designer with a reputation for her original effortless and unpretentious style. The recurring theme in her collections 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 UK’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.” Indeed, when Bryant Park's favorite indie lass from Down Under comes up, those who know her work simply widen their eyes. "Karen Walker", they say. "I love her".
