Anthropologie Says 'Hi There' to Karen Walker

Karen Walker's line for the spring 2012 season, Hi There, is also the latest designer-and-store collaboration in fashion news. Hi There will be exclusively sold in Anthropologie stores around the US by March (that's less than two months away!). Stars like Florence Welch and Natalie Portman are fans of the New Zealand native's smart and girlish dresses and quirky sunglasses. Hi There is a more affordable version of Walker's usual high-end designs.

According to currency conversions from Karen Walker's New Zealand website, the full price of a dress from her original line costs around $487. Luckily, it looks like a dress from this collection will be closer within the price range of $100 to $150. Hi There is a playful season of printed dresses, full skirts, and stripes galore. The lookbook is retro-inspired: Models pair the modest necklines with preppy white socks and oxfords. Their pin-up girl hairstyles remind us of a vintage Coca-Cola ad.
