WWD: Karen Elson Designs for Nine West

From Huffington Post:

Karen Elson can tack on a "slash-designer" to her title.
The redhead is set to partner on an accessories collection for Nine West's Vintage America Collection, which will hit stores this fall, Women's Wear Daily reports. She'll be creating handbags, shoes and jewelry, priced from $32 to $269.
Elson told the fashion newspaper, "My dream of designing a collection that's a true reflection of me has now come to life through this collaboration." And we really like her reflection...so count us in!
Take a first look at one of Karen's sketches and head over to WWD.com for more.

Louis Vuitton fall 2010 campaign preview: Karen Elson, Photo: Steven Meisel, Stylist: Karl Templer

From WWD:
THREE’S COMPANY: Typically, Marc Jacobs gives his collections for Louis Vuitton a different spin in advertising versus the runway. For the forthcoming fall campaign, slated to break in a wide range of August titles, Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova are shown preening in front of old-fashioned makeup mirrors backstage, as if they were ready to take a stroll around the fountain of the Louvre’s Cour Carré, the setting for Vuitton’s show during Paris Fashion Week in March. Ditto for the multigenerational casting — one model in her 20s, one her 30s, one her 40s — adding up to one of the most sophisticated Vuitton fashion campaigns to date, according to Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s director of communications.

“The atmosphere was very Fifties, very elegant,” he related. This is the fourth Vuitton campaign shot by Steven Meisel, who constructed the period set in a New York studio.
