“I think this might be a fire hazard”, said an attendee about the standing-room-only crowd at the Karen Walker<\/a> show.\u00a0 Droves of industry insiders filled the venue to get a closer look at her spring-summer 2010 collection.\u00a0 The character of the pieces was inspired by the cult 1960’s British television show, The Prisoner<\/em>.\u00a0 A nautical motif was mixed and matched with way groovy 60’s revival floral prints and straw hats, tote bags, and sunglasses all designed by Walker to complete the seaside mood.<\/p>\n

This collection is a bit of a departure from her edgy androgynous looks of previous seasons.\u00a0 Ruffles were everywhere \u2013 cascading down blouses, bustling beneath skirts, propped on the shoulder of sleeves, contributing to a fun girlish vibe throughout the show.\u00a0 The navy and white stripe cycling shorts that peeked out from under some of the dresses were a cute contrast to some of the more voluminous silhouettes.<\/p>\n

Layered cropped blazers, cardigans, and anoraks looked like great pieces for those nippy early spring days.<\/p>\n

Walker also debuted her footwear collection, a collaboration with Pointer.\u00a0 It is a woman’s version of the nubuck desert boot and leather boat shoe.<\/p>\n
