Karen Walker

When Karen Walker launched her first eyewear collection in 2005 her outrageously bold perspective immediately redefined the rules of the game.

Boldly flouting the moribund status quo, Karen was unafraid to do things differently. Her inaugural collection, made up of entirely new shapes all with their signature arrow graphic, was a fresh vision, exaggerated and dynamic. Playful colours, outlandish proportions and a boundless sense of optimism imbued every style and with every collection since Karen continues doing what she does best as a designer, walking the immaculate tightrope of eccentric-but-chic.

Always worn by the ‘most interesting person in the room’, Karen’s eyewear has been flattered by many imitators – but none can possess her innate sense of

proportion, elegance and whimsy. And her sense of adventure always keeps her one step ahead, looking for new worlds to conquer. Her influence has seen her consistently ranked for the past six years in The Business of Fashion’s powerhouse BoF 500, reflecting her position as a global industry figure shaping the future.

Karen Walker is for those who dare to be different, seek to be seen and feel the need to stand out. Karen Walker sunglasses have swept the globe in their eccentric twist on popular eyewear styles, showing wearers everywhere that you can be classy and sophisticated at the same time as unconventional or whimsical.
