Karen Walker moves into beauty

Walking in the footsteps of other fashion greats who have extended their portfolio into fragrance, fashion designer Karen Walker is branching out into the world of beauty with the launch of three scents.

Developed with the oldest perfume house in the world, Charabot, in Grasse, France, Walker's foray into fragrance pays homage to her signature upbeat optimism.

Called A, B and C, A is "herbal and fresh", B is "ripe and delicious", and C is "opulent and gorgeous".

“I’ve always wanted to create a range of fragrances and I’m thrilled with this trio. The three different scents allow the Karen Walker woman to have a scent for any mood, any day, any time and any occasion,” says Walker.

The fragrances are available online and from Myer.
