Karen Walker and Outland Denim have joined forces again, presenting a happy take on wardrobe staples with a carefully curated section of denim that embodies sustainable and socially responsible production.
The collection comprises seven pieces inspired by Karen Walker's iconic silhouettes. Popular styles such as Aeronautical jumpsuit and Duster jeans have returned, with new straight-leg and flared-leg jeans and utility shirts. The collection's colours are dark indigo and washed denim, which offer range and timeless appeal.
"This collection is threaded together by the shared ethos of both our brands and our communities: mindful consumption and making purposeful choices," said Karen Walker. "Each piece represents both brands' dedication to creating pieces that our customers can feel proud about investing in and will enjoy for many years."
Australian-founded brand, Outland Denim, was established in 2011, driven by providing training and employment to young women who had been enslaved or exploited. The brand has had a production facility in Cambodia and has expanded its support to reach a broader spectrum of women.
The fabrics used in this collection have been selected because of their lyocell, recycled and organic cotton that commits to their environmental responsibility. The Karen Walker x Outland Denim collection is thoughtfully produced in Cambodia, allowing the brands to minimise their environmental impact further and stand as leaders in responsible fashion.
"We are proud to collaborate with Karen Walker," stated Outland Denim founder, James Bartle. "This partnership merges Karen's distinctive design with our manufacturing in a way that genuinely reflects the principles both brands stand for."
Each piece in the collection is a testament to the power of conscious fashion, aiming to minimise harm to the planet whilst empowering the artisans who create them. The goal was clear: designing clothing that looks great, ages well, and contributes positively to the community and environment.
