When it comes to sunglasses, the more whimsical they are, the better. So you can imagine my excitement when the ultra fabulous Nicole Kwon Concept store in the West Village became the Karen Walker Candy Bar locale! A pop up shop full of Karen Walker eyewear as well as selection of limited edition frames are exclusively available only for 4 weeks (from now until September 23rd,) in the store. The cool part about the pop up shop is that since early 2012 two Candy Bars traveled around the world showcasing Karen Walker Eyewear. Places like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and…DALLAS!
If you’re in the Dallas area and want to try these babies on firsthand, Nicole Kwon’s boutique is having a One Year Anniversary Party tomorrow evening with music, bites and drinks from 6-9 p.m. Two fabulous artist friends of mine, April Graves and Lorann Schindler are creating a cool candy art installation for the party, which will spark your appetite for sweets while you shop. (The in-house label NKWON, which launched in 2010, has received critical acclaim alongside established designers of the fashion industry. Bring your credit card!)
And if you happen to be in other parts of the world, I recommend checking out the collection online. You know those chic women you see around town wearing sunglasses that are both classic and downright fun? They probably got them from the Candy Bar.
