Karen Millen Clothing
We love Karen Millen for her edgy, funky and well cut designs. Colour is THE word for this store. Karen Millen never fails on this ticket, which is why FCaNK love them so much! They are very on trend but still retain a safe element so that you and I can wear it and not feel like we have just stepped off the cat walk. We particularly love their signature satin dresses. These never fail to disappoint! Check this SS10 satin maxi dress out on the left. Isn't it to die for?!
The Karen Millen woman demands quality and has the spare cash in her wallet to pay for it. Since it was launched in the early 80's, the label has become synonomous with glamour and chic at high street prices.
The KM online shop has the latest offerings from the label as well as some good sale items. There is a useful Fitting Room link where you can shop for specific items in your size. For example, if I want to shop for a brown short sleeve top in my size; all the short sleeve brown tops in my size will then be displayed.

Purchase With Care
Branding Alert!
The bags tend to display a large tag with KM embossed on it. It is to big and showy. I would remove it myself! Note to Reader! Have KM been listening to FCaNK. This season, SS10, they have toned down the branding and upped their style with regards to their bags! Well done KM!!
A Tad Trashy!
Karen Millen really works hard on tailoring but sometimes they can become a bit too excited and come out with some super strange ideas that can be a bit misled! Watch out for too many zips and studs!
Brazen Colour Ways!
Traditionally Karen Millen uses lots of white and black and works with quite polemical colour schemes. Touches of this are fine but shop with caution!
Don't Forget to Mix and Match
A whole Karen Millen outfit may be a bit too much! You could end up silently screaming at the whole room with just your outfit. Go easy and mix with something subtle!
