A Northern Soul

Before we moved to New Zealand a couple of years back I went to London Fashion Week as part of my MA. Although I certainly attended, the obligation to blag tickets didn’t come so easy – you soon realise that everyone’s a stylist and that’s okay – but when faced with a fashion behemoth like Mandi Lennard at the Karen Walker show I realised the flimsy ‘stylist’ tag wouldn’t fly past her hi-top clad feet. But you know, Karen Walker soon upped sticks to New York and that was the end of my dalliances with a brand I loved, but yet never owned. So, when out in Auckland I embraced the lovely store and lovely purchases and still receive comments on her dresses more than anything else. Imagine our excitement now that we have Karen Walker mainline and Runaway Girl in store. Toot toot!

Add to that the collection itself, North, which is inspired by the England’s very own Northern Soul scene and you’ll see how silks, crepe de chine, plus cottons with zip and vinyl panel detail will want to be in your wardrobe. It’s tasty kiwi goodness!
