In celebration of the Gallery’s forthcoming major exhibition, "Frances Hodgkins: European Journeys", Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and leading fashion designer Karen Walker are working in partnership on a new artwork-inspired range of accessories, "Frances Hodgkins: Framed by Karen Walker". Both Walker and Hodgkins were recently included in the NZ Herald’s list of ‘Trailblazers: 125 Kiwi Women Who Changed the World’.

To create the range Karen Walker has been granted exclusive access to the Gallery’s collection of Hodgkins’ artwork: the largest collection of the artist’s work in the world. From these paintings, Karen has produced exclusive travel-inspired accessories, reflecting Hodgkins’ nomadic and adventurous lifestyle, which was ground-breaking for New Zealand women at that time.

‘Frances Hodgkins was the original “Runaway Girl”,’ Karen says. ‘Her life was full of purpose, adventure and independence. Our work has always been inspired by strong female stories and women with outsider points of view and adventurous spirits.’
