We can’t help getting a cheeky smile on our faces at the sight of Karen Walker’s playful 2009 eyewear of both modern and vintage-inspired sunglasses. The New Zealand-based designer continues to have a fashionably cool yet unpretentious attitude in her designs without trying too hard. You can accessorise with the shades up or down with luxury and vintage wear or street and casual clothing – the most important factor seems to simply have fun in the sun.

The 2009 lookbook itself is a piece of eye candy by photographer Derek Kettela capturing images of fun loving guys and girls with vampire teeth and Karen Walker sunglasses. Oh, how we enjoy some tongue and cheek, this is fashion with a bite. Who says vampires can’t be exposed to sunlight? Come out and play!
