Karen Walker's Brand New Critters

The new eyewear offering where mops replace models.

Karen Walker really cleans up the competition with her latest offering. Always one for quirk, the New Zealand designer, who has just shown at NYFW, replaces models with mops for her SS11/12 sunglasses campaign. Called Brand New Critters, the collection is easy on the eye (see what I did there?), possessing a distinct kind of KW cool. There are big, bold shapes, bright colours and throwbacks to old favourites - oh hey, Super Duper Strength in tortoise, what's up? There's never been a better time to spring clean your look.

We'd continue making as many cheesy puns as possible, but we'll just leave it at this: mop on.
