Karen Brost London
American born and London-based designer Karen Brost has channelled her love for all things sexy, polished and glam into a full scale tailored suiting collection for winter 2008. With designs such as the Tempestuous Tuxedo, Chloe’s Corset & Wallstreet Willamina, Brost is sure to strike a cord with Powerful Women in Business and Fashionistas alike.
Brost confesses to a lifelong fascination with the question of “what makes something a timeless classic?” Is it fit, colour, style or just a combination of the practical with an added pinch of nostalgia?
Brost reckons the “timeless classic” design formula is a blend of 80% Classic & 20% Rock n Roll and it is her intention to bridge the gap between the traditional rules of couture and the cutting edge of fashion.
Karen’s first signature collection has been approached as a “Powerful Woman’s Lifestyle Tool” and is geared to take a woman from the boardroom to the ballroom in flawless style. The Italian-made foundation collection consists of immaculately tailored jackets, trousers & super slim pencil skirts. Tailoring and suits are surrounded by a plethora of day to evening dresses, blouses, cashmeres knitwear, evening coats and outerwear. The colours range from bone, camel, caramel, charcoal, black to an added boost of hot scarlet and magnolia.
Karen’s first collection has already gained an unprecedented buzz in Hollywood where she had to cross the picket line at the writer’s strike to get her collection to Kelly Osbourne, where the American launch took place last week. Currently Brost is dressing Sharon Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosanna Arquette, and Dita Von Teese, and her first call on the Hollywood screen will be the wardrobe designed for Gwyneth Paltrow’s role in the Iron Man.
