Karen Walker Fall 2012: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

by

The Karen Walker collection is founded on three staples: obscure prints, comfortable (but stylish) pieces, and tons of navy.

But the pleasure of Karen Walker is that even though she has developed such strong staples, she finds little ways to add surprise into each collection. Did fall 2012 have navy, prints, and look unbelievably comfortable? Yes, but there were so many new moments for Karen Walker too.

Looking at the beauty of mundane objects, Walker created effortless, wearable looks that made even the grouchiest New Yorker wish for summer’s breezy days. From sherbet colored, pajama inspired ensembles to gray tees with pop-colored full skirts, every look was uplifting. The feeling was of the ’60s, but not the uptown stuff you’re used to seeing on Mad Men; Walker’s looks were better suited for weekends bonfires set to Pet Sounds and Revolver.
