Isabeli Fontana, Karen Elson and Clement star in this Roberto Cavalli campaign, complete with the mandatory inclusion of some sort of animal print.

The redhead-playing-with-fire theme isn’t terribly original, but Karen Elson still looks, um, hot on the June/July 2009 issue of Numéro.

Issue #104, titled “Fever,” is kind of a stand-out photo for the spring/summer season, though, when imagery is usually a lot cleaner and lighter.

Karen Elson and Baptiste Giabiconi shot in a dark hotel room in Venice, by a photographer cited by ‘Modelina Blog’ as the Kaiser.  I love Elson’s short red, 50’s-esque curls, and all of that lace lingerie.

The above ads of the 2010 Chanel Resort campaign have surfaced, featuring Karen Elson and Baptiste Giabiconi.

Karen Elson laces up in this ad titled “Ulysses and the Call of the Sirens” after the Greek myth in which a trio of seductresses charm the hero by song. A perfect spring/summer collection with bright colors and fun patterns.

Don’t you wish you had her gorgeous long red hair?

Irina Lazareanu

Jack White with Karen Elson

From models turned actresses and vice versa, we now have models turned music artists. With the earlier news of model Irina Lazareanu’s (album debuting this Fall) and Nadja Auermann working on a music career, it is easier to grasp that former model Karen Elson (and wife of Jack White of The White Stripes) is also currently pursuing a music career. Also on her plate, the opening of her Nashville vintage boutique in which she plans to sell everything from Ossie Clarke to Valentino couture.

It is soo easy for these girls to do what they want once they have made a name for themselves in the biz, all about the people you know (or are dating, rumor has it that Irina and Pete Doherty are getting cozy). Her album is being produced by Patti Smith, in collaboration with Sean Lennon, and word is circulating that performance outfits will be courtesy of Mason Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, and Ann Demeulemeester, how convenient!
