1) The designer's turn-of-the-century-meets-street look had a youthquake vibe spanning decades, weaving in both sweetness and grooviness from the sixties and the layered, stripy tee-and-thermal insouciance of nineties grunge. The look gained some of Walker's characteristic whimsy with big, colorful my-gran-just-knitted-this pompom beanies, mittens, and even handbags.
2) But not all was layered and accessorized to the hilt. On the simpler side was a terrific chic black textured silk sheath with ruffled shoulders.
3) Walker's tailored pieces-shrunken tuxedo jackets, blazers, and even slim trousers-also deserve special mention...New York may soon find that it hearts Karen Walker."
