Elegance with Edge

Karen Walker and Zambesi turned many a well-coiffed head at last month’s London Fashion Week. Guardian critic, Jess Cartner-Morley, picked Walker’s show one of the highlights of the week: “[Walker] … took as her inspiration the 1930s aviatrix Amelia Earhart – ‘one of the first great ‘pants’ girls.’ The result was a nice balance of elegance and kookiness – Chloë-meets-Hoxton, if you will.” The Telegraph mentioned both Walker and Zambesi as “names to watch” and, in a second article, included them as part of the “fresh, feminine, and thoroughly cosmopolitan” onslaught of Australasian talent currently hitting British shores.
