Meghan Markle sports Karen Walker and fashionistas go nuts snapping up the items

Karen Walker has long been one of the darlings of the New Zealand fashion industry, being worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne plus many others. She can now add the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan to her list of admirers.

Since touching down in Oceania, Meghan has been spotted wearing several Karen Walker items.

When she touched down in Fraser Island, she wore Karen Walker's Northern Lights sunglasses in black which retail for $289.05AUD.

As she and her husband, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex landed in Wellington yesterday, Meghan had chosen a beautiful coat by Karen Walker. The Banks Trench retails for $975 and the New Zealand media organisations, Stuff and the NZ Herald are reporting that it is sold out. This is confirmed on the Karen Walker website.

As you'd imagine, this was a very proud moment for Karen Walker and when she was interviewed by Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking, she confirmed that the trench had sold out since the Duchess had worn it when she arrived in NZ.

She indicated that there had been a business agreement and that the brand had spoken to either Meghan or her team. Being an astute business person, Karen would not confirm any further details.

It has since been revealed that although the coat is sold out, it is available on pre order now. If you don't want to wait though then there is another alternative though and that is the Reverie Jacket which is available for $675AUD.

That's exactly what I have done, being a long time loyal Karen Walker customer, I have purchased the short version of the jacket.

It is so awesome that Meghan has worn Karen Walker's designs several times and the designer and her team should be extremely excited at all the worldwide publicity.

It certainly is a massive achievement and a real fashion coup given other NZ designers might have been looking for Meghan's attention.
