Time-travel series Sapphire & Steel was the jumping off point for Karen Walker’s autumn/winter 2015 collection shown at New York Fashion Week today.
It was an ode to the tough 70s sci-fi detective, Sapphire, played by Joanna Lumley.
Walker says that as a child she watched the series in awe as “Sapphire guarded the order and integrity of time, all while being a beacon of chic”.
Key collection highlights include a time-warped floral and a stained-glass clock print, utilitarian denim, shearling, chunky knitwear and footwear with a generous rubber tread, perfect for time-travelling.
