Karen Elson is many things; model, singer, songwriter and fashion icon included. Born in Manchester and scouted as a teenager, Elson has gone on to become a globally recognised face and muse in the industry. Sharing the songs which mean the most to her, in this episode she revisits her illustrious career so far. Making her modelling debut at the tender age of 18 for the cover of Italian Vogue, before she was 20 Karen had been the face of Chanel, Gucci, Valentino and Versace. In the two decades since, she has been photographed by international greats such as Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino, Craig McDean, Karl Lagerfield, Nick Knight and Richard Avedon. In 2005, Karen won a British Fashion Award for Best Model. Not just a dab hand in fashion, she released her memoir in 2020 with Rizzoli, and has three albums. Hosted on Acast.
