Karen Elson for Nine West
Photo: Nine West
Karen Elson’s adding a new slash to her name—designer. After modeling, the flame-haired Brit is best known for 1. her red hair, 2. her husband (Jack White), 3. her own charming singing voice and 4. The Citizen’s Band. But now she’s pairing with Nine West to be both the designer and face of their new Vintage America collection.
Elson worked with Nine West Creative Director Fred Allard to whip up a capsule collection of pieces that match her own style—a mostly-vintage-with-a-touch-of-Victorian look that favors lace, velvet and all things ladylike. She said, “My dream of designing a collection that’s a true reflection of me has now come to life through this collaboration.” It’s kind of an odd move on both accounts—Nine West isn’t the first brand we’d imagine Elson attaching herself to and she’s not the first name we’d expect them to go for, but each will attract a fresh audience. And based on the sketches, anyone looking to appropriate Elson’s style will be in luck. The pieces will be available for pre-order in July and hit stores in September.
