Karen Walker:fashion

Karen Walker

Actor and Australian darling Cate Blanchett was front row in 2000 as guest editor for Harper's Bazaar this year. One of here favourite shows was that of the New

Zealand designer Karen Walker who collection was a quirky take on society dress and who send her models down the runway in silence, instead giving each of the

audience a Discman loaded with a choice of tracks.

After the show Blanchett was quoted as saying, "I watched to the sounds of trucks outside and the universal orgasms taking place beside me. These provoked the first real laughs of Fashion Week. I loved it form the very first second.

This year was also notable for the designer Peter Morrissey's use of bold prints in collaboration with indigenous designer Jacinta Numuna Waugh which captured the
mood leading up to the Sydney Olympics
