TED Talking
















Isaac Mizrahi is a bit of an idol of mine - when in my twenties he was just hilarious, creative and prolific in all the right ways. (As a 80's runway favourite NYC fashion designer in case you are uninitiated) 
He has since had a talk show, designed costumes and done the best diffusion line for Target which set the high low trend in full steam. 
So visiting one of my favourite sites: ted.com I found a familiar voice describing his inspiriation - I urge you all to view it, he is rather a compelling character - Also on the site there is brilliance in the form of some of the words best minds giving inspired talks.  See Isaac here.

blow me over .....


If you have not been into NZ's MAX fashion stores of late you will get a surprise  - fashion! 

Delighted, I used pieces for a portrait recently and even better on the horizon, this is what will be in store in Late February for Autumn. With a new capsule delivery every six weeks. 

Those clever Ezi Buy people have taken over the brand and done a radical makeover that will in turn give the nation one. 

Lets just say I have not had the calling to shop there in the last five or six years. That is all about to change by the looks of these pieces. 

Adding to my enthusiasm just announced to star in the racks in March is Kirrily Johnston's capsule collection. 
We are big fans of Kirrily here at KAREN.
 Kirrily Loves Maxshop as specially previewed below hot from the studio. 
Gorgeous ....want it already. 

How can you not love a designer bargain to go with high end accessories- it will no doubt be snapped up swiftly.  NZ is a little light on the high/low designer treat, made so popular by the big multinational chains. And here is where I have to say clothing in New Zealand can be very pricey. Just having those additions to the party wardrobe or the staples for the office, both stylish and affordable from a retailer understanding highstreet fashion, brilliant. 
 
And yes MAX is coming to Australia - Nice of them to share.
look out for the soon to be lunched maxshop.com
