Hi There by Karen Walker

As I promised in my last blog post, here are images from the upcoming Hi There collection by designer Karen Walker.  New Zealand designer Karen Walker has collaborated with Anthropologie to create a more affordable line of her clothing to be available exclusively at Anthropologie beginning March 2012!  Her Spring/Summer collection is filled with retro, feminine, 40s inspired dresses in a range of prints and bold colors.  Floral prints, polka dots, stripes, and pleats rule this line.  My style preference usually leans more toward the solid colors and occasional geometric or tribal prints, but I have to say that several of these polka dot and floral print dresses are catching my interest at the moment!  Below are a sampling (18) of the 40+ items in the upcoming collection.  To see the entire line, check out Summer 2011/12 – Karen Walker .

 

What are your thoughts?  Which are your favorites?
On a side note...are you familiar with Karen Walker's quirky sunnies?  They are available at  shopbop.com .  Although they are not a style that I normally wear, they are definitely a fun change and worth checking out!  Here are a couple of my favorites: 

"Keep the Faith"

"Number Six"
