Babou, Salvador Dalí’s pet Colombian ocelot, was the protagonist of Karen Walker’s spring collection. Its face, along with flames representing its fierce, independent attitude, was embroidered on a sweatshirt paired with a maxidress, while its coat was reproduced on a jacquard miniskirt and a shirt embellished with ruffles. Recurrent in the collection, ruffles appeared on everything — from lightweight silk dresses printed with colorful birds to denim frocks and separates and even a glossy leather biker jacket. And while the overall aesthetic was girly and whimsical, a slim sartorial suit crafted from a mannish fabric and a rigorous trenchcoat added urban edge to the lineup.
