The best thing to come out of New Zealand since Lord of the Rings

Karen Walker had her first New York Fashion Week show this past fall, for Spring '07. (Yes, I am still stuck in spring fashion.) Her clothes are cool, playful, and just the smallest amount of girly mixed with androgyny.

Here's some highlights:


I love the tailored shorts with the billowy, smock-style blouse.



I love each and every thing about this outfit: The oversized, men's-style blazer, the color of the top, the yellow pop of the skirt, the tulip-shaped skirt. I am quite in love with everything here, especially the tulip skirt.


The wide leg, high waisted trousers are so cool, and I can't get enough of the star print on the sweater, and that t-shirt is incredible.


I've been trying to figure out how to wear a romper... and I love this one. Those yellow, alien-style sunglasses are amazing.


The slouchy silhouette works incredibly. Sort of a French peasant vibe, but injected with a shot of cool.


This dress is so fantastical! And I CAN NOT get enough of those incredible jazz shoes!!!!


The jacket and sweet bag rock my world.

I loooved the jazz shoes in this show. What are your opinions?
