Post fashion month mayhem, LuisaViaRoma caught up with Karen Wazen on her favorite pieces for SS18. When not at fashion week, the mother of three and influencer behind the blog Karen’s Choices spends her time between Beirut and Dubai. From the front row to taking care of the kids, discover what’s behind her on-point style.
What’s your everyday uniform?
Denim, sunglasses, cool flats, either a blazer or a t shirt.
What is one trend you are excited to see take-off in 2018?
Going back to the 80s, oversized shoulders, layering, headbands and big accessories.
The thing that stood out the most during fashion week?
Hats hats hats… I love wearing hats and am so happy to see that nearly every show I watched was big on hats and accessories.
What’s one thing you always pack for fashion week?
Sunglasses and comfortable shoes.
Since you’re originally from Beirut but live in Dubai, tell us about your favorite spots in both cities:
Beirut: Mar Mikhael Street (meaning Saint Michael in Arabic) is so inspiring to me, the mix between the old and the new. The restaurants, the vibe, the simplicity of it all.
Dubai: I love the beach. Dubai’s weather really helps with that! I would say my favorite place to be in Dubai is at one of the beaches with good food and nice walk and kids friendly of course. Maybe La Mer could best combine this for me.
What’s coming up next?
Hehe it’s still confidential… but I’ll tell you, it has to do with accessories… with the help of my amazing sister Andrea Wazen! And no, its not shoes….
