Karen Walker started her namesake label in 1988 at the age of 18 with just two shirts. The brand now has an international presence, and includes jewelry, a well-regarded eyewear collection, paints, and ready-to-wear womenswear, which Walker shows at New York fashion week bi-annually. The line, which Women’s Wear Daily has said is “both sweet and tongue-in-cheek,” is a collaborative effort: Walker’s husband, Mikhail Gherman, is involved in the creative aspects of production, and since 2002, she has worked closely with the stylist Heathermary Jackson. Although Walker’s stand-alone boutiques are only in New Zealand, her sweet separates with a tomboyish edge can be found in the U.S. in stores like Barneys Co-Op and boutiques like Otte.
