I have never been a huge fan of skull designed clothing myself... but recently I have been

loving the fashion pieces with the theme of skulls! The word ‘Subtle’ is key. Less is more

with this fashion statement.

Karen Walker is a noted New Zealand Fashion designer. She left

school, after attending Epsom Girls Grammar School in 1988 to

begin her fashion training, graduating in 1990. She has said that she

started with NZ$100, which she used for material for a shirt. By

1995, she had opened two stores. In 1998, she began selling to

Barneys New York.

She showed her first runway collection in 1998 and is regarded as

one of New Zealand's highest profile and most international design

talents. She has five stores in New Zealand, four of which are in

Auckland and one in Wellington but her brands are sold all over the

world.

Walker is married to Mikhail Gherman, a well known advertising

creative director and creative director of the Karen Walker brand.

They live in Auckland

Her fashion collections are considered to be effortless and original

and include names such as "Young, Willing and Eager", "Karen to

the Rescue", "Victory Garden", "Queenie Was a Dog", "Karen in TV

Land", "Liberal and Miserable", "Dough and Dynamite" and "Living

with Cannibals and Other Adventures". Her Hi There range is a

more cheaply priced line.

Her clothes have been seen on many celebrities including M.I.A.,

Alexa Chung, Beth Ditto, Michael Haneke, Rihanna, Claire Danes,

Jennifer Lopez and many more.

In addition to the main women's wear collections, Karen Walker has

expanded her designs to include sunglasses, jewellery, shoes and a

range of paints for Resene. Karen Walker signed a partnership late

2011 with United States-based retail chain Anthropologie that will

put "Hi There" clothing range into up to 164 stores in the United

States from February 2012.

BEAUTY ICONMiranda Kerr

It’s a face and body that its owner looks after. The 29-year-old Miranda Kerr. Started her career in modeling before she left high school, when she won the Dolly Magazine competition in 1997. Her young age, at the time sparked controversy but Miranda went back to her home town in country Australia and finished her studies and then went to study Nutrition and Health Psychology, at Academy of Natural Living.

Health is top of Kerr’s priority list. Her diet is almost all organic and includes a crime-fighting host of super foods, like coconut oil and noni juice. It’s a non-negotiable part of her life she seems to genuinely enjoy. “As a child I cried for my veggies!” she laughs.

She has also released her own skincare range, Kora Organics, and practices yoga and Pilates regularly, cranking up the fitness routine at Victoria’s Secret parade time. But she’s not a total goody-two-shoes. She confides: “I live by the 80/20 rule: I’m 80 per cent healthy, and then 20 per cent indulgent.”

She chose to take on her latest role, that of ambassador for Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy, because she felt it fell a little bit into both camps: the range of shampoos and conditioners are not strictly natural or organic like her Kora range, but infused with vitamins and nutrients and formulated to look after the health of the scalp. “I haven’t found an organic hair product that works like this,” explains Kerr. “It nourishes and balances the scalp, which leads to beautiful hair.” Good luck keeping your spot as a Victoria’s Secret Angel – or, for that matter, heading campaigns for brands as diverse as David Jones in Australia and Miu Miu in Paris – without beautiful hair.Surprisingly, she doesn’t make others feel too starstruck, either. In person, she’s as natural as the food she eats.51

Which actresses inspire you? “There are so many actresses I get inspiration from. From Bette Davis, to Anne Baxter, to Marilyn Monroe... I also love Katherine Hepburn. I love that she walked into a room with any man and was stronger than every single one of them, but she sti l l embodied such femininity. I could watch her for days. And I love the whimsy of Audrey Hepburn.

Youʼre considered a style icon, but are there certain trends you just wonʼt wear?“I don’t know, it just has to feel right. There are a lot of things that I see on other people that I love, but I would never put on myself just because it wouldn’t look good. I think the most important thing is to feel good. Thats something I learned young.”

D o y o u h a v e a f a s h i o n philosophy? “I like for things to look effortless. For me, if it looks to done then it just doesn't feel right. My idea when I dress is to walk out the house in a gown I’d be able to run though Central Park barefoot in and play in the fountain. I like a whimsical nature to dressing. I don’t like things to be too stuffy.”

Would you be interested in creating your own fashion line one day?“Maybe. There are so many people that I look up to [in fashion]. I’d have to really know what I was doing. I would never do something without thinking and put my name on it. If I did something it would be because I believed in it and was very passionate about it. So, if I had a clothing line, I’d w a n t t o b e d o i n g t h e designing.”

Nice! And whatʼs the secret behind that great hair of yours? “Kérastase shampoo and conditioner. It’s the best. It made my hair grow seven inches.”

Tell us.. What makes you feel attractive?“I really like to cook.”Cooking? How does that make you feel attractive?“I think there is something so sensual about it; the smell, the touches, the flavours the expreience creating something. And when your doing it with someone you love, creating that together... I just think is really attractive [laughs].”
