KAREN BROST LONDON BABY AW14 "WILD THINGS"

I’m swooning over the new Autumn/Winter collection by Karen Brost. Karen, an American illustrator and fashion designer, is married to a Brit and lives in London with their two young children, Coco and Ava. Her designs combine cool, beautiful artisan imagery, with sizes ranging from 0-4 years. If only I could shrink Mario, he’d definitely wear one of Karen’s pieces—I'm especially in love with Grace's Sweatshirt - Foxy Roxy.

The new "Wild Things" collection showcases the evolution of Karen Brost's signature style, with witty imagery, fresh shapes, and unique textiles. My favorites include Coco’s Cardigan, Grace’s Sweatshirt (both made from the softest fleece), and the Honey Bunny Jumpsuit, topped with hand-made soft pom-pom ears. The collection is minimal and polished, using metallic gold to punctuate the fairy-tale-inspired imagery. There’s always a subtle Alice in Wonderland twist to Karen Brost's graphics. Each illustration is unique to the collection, limited edition, and designed in-house. All designs are made in England and printed with safe, organic, water-based inks.
