About Me
- Karen Savage
- London, United Kingdom
- Karen Savage is a Feminist in the Fashion Industry. A thinker with a heart, who would like to share her Savage world. For over two decades, Karen Savage’s keen sense of ‘now’ and exuberant sense of humour have lead her on a gloriously winding path, questioning everything ‘fashion’ has to offer. From Designer to Stylist, Trend Forecaster to Creative Director, Blogger and Artist - Karen Savage has been there, done that and turned ‘fashion’ on its head and into something new. Karen is outspoken and charming, a self-proclaimed ‘Council Estate Princess’ via Birkenhead. The Independent crowned her the ‘Queen of Tongue n Chic’. Karen first sprung to public consciousness in the early 90s with her own critically-acclaimed fashion label SAVAGE and her controversial slogan-tees. She explores themes of feminism and sustainability in her work. The UK press just couldn't get enough of this ironic designer and everyone from Just 17, The Times to Radio 4s Women’s Hour has interviewed Karen Savage. Karen Savage is a Senior Lecturer at The London College of Fashion, St. Martin's College of Art and The Hong Kong Design Institute. She also freelances as a Creative Director in Print and Licensing.

Pretty Spots
Pretty reminds me of grunge when I did the underwear as outer wear thing the first time around in the early nineties. Back then I always had to do things with a twist and the twist would have been a slogan printed virgin on the front and whore on the back of the night dress worn with a big pair of Dr. Martens and black woolly tights. I was so into shouting about my twists in the early nineties. In the tens I am happy to find this pretty night dress, leave it plain and actually use it for nightwear. Although I do hope new girls are deciding to explore and express their twists through fashion and styling. I found this little number in a boot sale in Surrey for 50p.
