A Stake Through The Heart

In 2006 her models were celebrities at a news conference, hiding from the overzealous paparazzi in dark shades. In 2007, she made them cry. Now they have been turned into vampires. Karen Walker's sunglasses might not hide your tears or prevent you from becoming one of the living dead, but her lookbook always pleases the eye.
