Biography
About Karen Elson
Karen Elson stands out in the fashion world as a British supermodel, musician, and influencer, with striking red hair and green eyes. At 5'10", her slim frame and measurements of 33-25-35 have graced runways for Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Versace, and Dior. Her career launched when Steven Meisel photographed her for the cover of Italian Vogue on her 18th birthday, and she has since appeared on over 30 magazine covers. In September 2008, British Vogue featured her as "Fashion's Red Queen." Her achievements include being a Victoria's Secret model, and she has starred in campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Lanvin.
But modeling is only part of her story. Born in Oldham, England, in 1979, Elson discovered music early. She is a founding member of the New York-based cabaret troupe the Citizens Band, performing since 2004. Her debut album, The Ghost Who Walks, released in 2010, earned favourable reviews; Spin magazine compared her voice to Jenny Lewis and Loretta Lynn. She wrote much of the album in secret, hiding in her bathroom to play songs without her then-husband Jack White hearing them. She later performed on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Elson continues to balance both creative worlds, with a substantial Instagram following of 307k. She identifies as straight and British, and her natural look, with no tattoos or piercings, sets her apart. Her solo work includes full nudity in artistic contexts. She remains a distinctive voice in both fashion and music, known for her unique red hair and multifaceted career.
