Wrap up in this season’s must have coats. We love neutral tones that compliment just about any outfit, so your look can be versatile, practical and more importantly très chic.

Key winter investment pieces are a great way to add style to any outfit. Simply wear over any outfit, grab that all important weather proof leather bag and face the winter in style!

The evening affair gathered quite a colossal crowd. Among the attendees were top clients, fashion lovers, high-profile Bostonians, professional athletes, musicians and local media. Fortunately, 6one7 Productions made an extraordinary impact by promoting and collaborating alongside this gratifying experience.

Finally, Boston and London came together for a memorable soiree. The captivating runway show featured Karen Millen’s unparalleled designs from phase two of the Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection.

In addition to the futuristic inspirations, the runway models portrayed major influences such as fairy tale illustrations, romantic images and urban cityscape. From modern party wear to glamorous red carpet pieces, sophisticated elegance conquered the show. Specifically, Greta Garbo, Bianca Jagger, Grace Jones and Tim Walker photographs were some of the major inspirations for this collection.

Want to go behind the scenes for Karen Millen’s first runway show in Boston? Well, here is your chance to preview the mayhem and the excitement in the dressing rooms.

Umi in Boston did a phenomenal job with make-up by accentuating facial structure while enhancing a subtle glow and vibrant lips. The models sported an up-do with volume at the top of the head and hair secured in a low bun. I must say, seeing this “do” reminded me of my experience with Orlando Pita and his creative ability to pull together amazing hairstyles for the runway.

Stay tuned… runway coverage will be up shortly.

UPDATE – come and visit our glossy new website and let us know what you think!

Karen Millen is getting a glamorous makeover…

We are launching a shiny new website, which is great news for fashionistas who like their online shopping intuitive, exciting and full of striking new features, but bad news if you want to shop online today as the website will be down for a few hours.

We’ll be in touch as soon as the new site has lift-off, so be sure to come back and check it out.

Below is a sneak preview of the home page. Let us know what you think.

Sorry for any inconvenience. We’ll miss you!
