Vision From Down Under

eccentric elegance is the covet-worthy design ethos of fashion designer Karen Walker (pictured). This aesthetic has catapulted her designs to celeb status (Rihanna and Gigi Hadid are devotees) and retail success—the brand is now available in 38 countries and 1,020 stores, including Barneys New York.

Walker’s eyewear collection follows the same edgy style philosophy, and is available at select optical shops across the U.S. Here, Walker checks in with EB to share a few details on her striking specs appeal.

Her Design Style in Three Words…
Chic meets eccentric.

On Multitasking Fashion + Eyewear…
It’s all the same point of view, just in different forms.

Favorite Sunglass Moment in Film…
Everything Gena Rowlands wears in “Opening Night.”

How Many Sunglasses a Woman Should Have…
As many or as few as feels right for her. Many people have a wardrobe of sunglasses...there’s nothing wrong with a great classic shape in tortoiseshell or plain black acetate.
