my favourite 5 pieces from my latest collection with karen millen…
Alas! December has (finally) arrived and with it brings my final collection with Karen Millen…
My final collection for 2022 that is!
Having listened to your feedback from last year’s winter collection, I had the season’s sparkle, traditions and festivities at the forefront of my mind whilst designing these pieces. With that in mind, though I’m bias perhaps (!) I truly believe that this is our most magical collection yet.
With that said, I thought I’d fill you in on my favourite 5 pieces…
For those of you that are interested, that is!
Without further ado…
Corseted Tulle Midi Dress
There’s a reason why I wore this dress to The Crown premiere! When you put it on, it truly makes you feel like a princess… and if that’s not a vibe to wholeheartedly embrace at this time of year, I don’t know what is!!
Corset Detail Tulle Tiered Woven Dress
I’m a huge fan of an off-the-shoulder number at this time of year so I was determined to bring the elegant neckline to this collection. For me, this dress (available in both black and rose) oozes elegance and charm. I feel so special when I wear it and have a very strong suspicion that you will too!
Metallic Feather Ruffle Woven Maxi Dress
You didn’t think I was going to design a festive collection and not include a dress worthy of starring in Downtown Abbey did you!? If you have a black tie affair to attend over the holidays or a fancy New Year’s Eve soiree, this dress will ensure that you have your Cinderella moment!
Pleat Ruffle Poplin Woven Blouse
If you’re going to design a festive white blouse, go all out right?! From its pleated cuff sleeves to its ruffled chest and waist line, this blouse is so much fun to wear and is calling out to be dressed up or down across the holidays. It will come into its own year-on-year too.
Heritage Tweed Belted Midi Dress
And finally… Winter is always my busiest time of year so I wanted to combine my love for countryside aesthetics with some serious power dressing that inspires us all to close those deals before Christmas! This tweed pencil dress does exactly that. If this silhouette isn’t your preference, I’m also obsessed with the wide-leg, tweed trousers that we’ve designed too.
