About
Karen Walker Eyewear

Karen Walker is known for its fun and optimistic style.

Karen Walker shows each season as part of New York Fashion Week. The collections are high casual with a signature love of print and colour and a reoccurring theme of juxtaposition of opposites – masculine and feminine, tailored and street, luxury and non-luxury, dark and super-cute, utility and chic.

Karen Walker Eyewear launched in 2005 and has established a cult following around the world. It has a reputation for its originality, quality, effortless cool and sense of fun.

Karen Walker Eyewear is sold globally in high-end department stores, boutiques and eyewear specialists including Barneys New York, Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford, Galeries Lafayette, Net-A-Porter, and Shopbop.

It’s attracted a wide fan base of stylish women including Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Beyoncé, Carey Mulligan, and Charlize Theron.

In 2013, Karen Walker partnered with the United Nations’ Ethical Fashion Initiative to create work for community groups or artisans in Kenya. This was also the basis for the 2014 campaign imagery. The Ethical Fashion Initiative connects luxury fashion brands with artisans in West and East Africa and in Haiti, providing work and empowerment for marginalised people.

Karen Walker was included in The Business Of Fashion’s 2013 B0F500 as one of the 500 people and 118 designers who are shaping the global fashion industry right now.
