Karen's Walker's Spring '12 collection (appropriately named 'The American Girl'), wowed New York Fashion Week goer's in a big way, with fans dubbing it 'marvellous'. There is no doubt that KW has produced another beautiful collection that many can't wait to get their hands on (including myself!).
Looking at the collection, I fail to describe it in any other way than typically Karen. With beautifully tailored blazers, chinos and statement prints it follows KW's tried and tested design techniques with great success; However I can't help but feel that this collection is slightly more mature than past collections - in a good way! Not in a middle aged sort of way... Eerr.
The thing I like about Karen Walker is that each collection flows from one to the next with-out anything too dramatic that loyal fans can't handle. If that makes sense? I'm not saying that her designs are safe and always the same by any means, however I like the fact that each collection builds on the last and nothing is ever really random - instead it's often something built off the back of a garment from a previous season. It's sort of like an organic evolution. Slightly more natural than other designers processes possibly. Hmm. Ramble!
Karen, I heart you!
