karen walker + fashion week giveaway

Karen Walker was a surprisingly fun show with great colorful prints and girly silhouettes - perfect for a summer day in the Hamptons. At the show, other than the usual suspects, I spotted Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr from WhoWhatWear.com, the absolutely stunning Hanneli Mustaparta of www.hanneli.com, and also bumped into the super cute Camille of Childhoodflames



The whole show felt like a thesis on stripes - the construction detailing of these pieces up close was really great and even though it's not in line with my own personal style, I thought the styling was done well. I especially liked all the accessories that were mixed in and the striped socks/boat shoe combo.
























































Adorable!





The Accessories















Finale



KAREN WALKER GIVEAWAY

Other than seeing fashion celebs up close and personal, goodie bags are another fun perk of attending some of these shows. I thought I would try to bring some of NY Fashion Week fun to my lovely readers and do a giveaway of the Karen Walker goodie bag that I got from the show. Karen Walker tote bag contents include: Large Jurlique skin care samples, Karen Walker Eyewear catalog, "K" for Karen Walker cookie, adorable navy and gold Karen Walker metal charm bracelet, and Karen Walker keychain.













To enter the giveaway, pick out your favorite fashion week street style look (celebrity, editor, model off-duty, blogger, anyone!) and leave me a link to the photo as a comment. Please leave as a comment only - I think it'll be a fun way to share with everyone your favorite fashion week street style looks! And give us all an excuse to spend more time online Happy picture hunting!

my fav, the white set: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/new-york-fashion-week/6183491/New-York-Fashion-Week-The-highlights.html?image=8

but if it has to be a fav and still wearable out, it'll be this from the WAYNE SPRING 2010 you went to: the 5th goddess looking dress! and the yellow drap vest too, simply yet chic!

Audrey said...

I think the redhead's great: tough yet pretty, can be worn for Fashion Week or really any week.

That's so generous of you to do a giveaway! Loving the Karen Walker looks, everything looks so young and fresh.

My favorite thus far is this shot of Giovanna Battaglia - http://altamiranyc.blogspot.com/2009/09/giovanna-battaglia-rocks-kitten-heels.html

I like how she manages to look so put together even without the obligatory 5 inch heels.

My favorite is of casting agent extraordinaire and The Last Magazine's photo producer, Natalie Joos, shot at the AWang party. Enough with the tough girl leather look! My eyes are dying for come soft color and casual elegance.

I love the biker shorts under skirts or dresses -- but, they just don't translate well off the runway. =/ I wish they did!

the muslim girl said...

Gennie, I am SO jealous of all the Fashion Week stuff you were able to see!!

http://karlascloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/wet-your-lips.html

I am a big Karla fan because she's so good at mixing edgy with feminine!

This look is a personal fave of mine from fashion week because its unique Karla-style, but its a style that anyone else can also adopt. I've already tried recreating the look (though I don't have those amazing Acne wedges... :( ). Karla was able to put together two big trends right now: studs and rocker-edge with soft femenity with the vintage blouse.

I hope you like my pick! And I also hope I get a chance to win the Karen Walker prize!! :D

i don't know if this will DQ me but i don't care! it's too good not to share.

beautiful!
she battled the rain at NYFW quite nicely and weather didn't cramp her style one bit!

annalene said...

i really liked kate lanphear's laid back but really put together look, then again i'm a fan of her sensibilities in general!

My favorite that I've seen as of yet, was Nicky Hilton. Really simple denim dress with a black moto jacket and boots.

Oh wait, you said Street Style. Hm, idk if Nicky Hilton counted then. If not, then I really liked this one:
