Fab Ad: Roberto Cavalli, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Roberto Cavalli's Fall ad campaign is a scene we're all too familiar with: paparazzi shots inside nightclubs. Models Isabeli Fontana (a Cavalli favorite; she was in this Fall '09 campaign, too) and Karen Elson reenact today's celeb craze inside the El Morocco nightclub in NYC. Photographer Steven Meisel, whose first time it was working with the designer, was there document the chaos. The guy in the back is clearly choosing to stay out of the altercation, but Isabeli takes matters into her own hands by splashing alcohol at the pesky photogs. And Karen looks like she's about to cause some damage as well. What do you make of all this?

Fab Ad: Celine Spring '09

While we eagerly anticipate Phoebe Philo's debut Celine collection, let's take a gander at Ivana Omazic's last hurrah. For Celine's Spring '09 campaign, the designer chose redhead beauty Karen Elson to show off her selection of luxuriously colorful handbags, frocks, and chic outerwear. I like how photographer Bruce Weber contrasted Karen's red hot locks against the stark background. However, I find myself staring at Karen more than the clothes and bags. Nonetheless, it's beautiful. What do you think?

Fab Ad: Donna Karan Resort '09

There's nothing more beautiful than a redhead in dusty pink. And who better to portray the frilly girliness that is Donna Karan's Resort '09 line than model Karen Elson? "Karen has this paleness of skin, this white skin that was so delicious," the designer said. "There is a little bit of decadence and glamour, but at the same time honesty to it." This is the designer's first-ever resort ad campaign, and she's done a fine job. Starting from the soothing color palette to the delicate fabrics and Karen's nonchalant posing, it's quite memorable. What do you think about these boudoir-inspired ads shot by Michael Thomas?

Fab Ad: Phi Fall/Winter '08

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Phi has been alive since 2003 but the house just came out with its first ad campaign for Fall. Why did it take this long? The brand had a shaky start, but decided now is the right time to come out from under the radar. So who better to represent the brand than model-of-the-moment Coco Rocha and gorgeous model-pro Karen Elson? Isn't it interesting how the usually redhead Karen is brunette and the usually brunette Coco is redhead?! Shot by Steven Meisel, these ads are obviously inspired by the old Hollywood pinup era. Not only is there nothing wrong with that, there's something so right about it. You know Dita Von Teese would approve. Do you?

Fab Flash: Karen Elson Named New BCBG Postergirl

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:00:02 -0800

It never ceases to amaze me how fast model moms kick it into high gear postbirth: First with Natalia Vodianova walking the Paris runways three weeks after having her third child and now with Karen Elson, who has just been named the face of BCBG's Spring campaign.

Karen gave birth to her second child in August and replaces another model mom, Angela Lindvall. Patrick Demarchelier photographed the series, which is sure to be stunning - Karen's light complexion and blazing red hair will look perfect in BCBG's washed-out Spring collection.

Fab Flash: Karen Elson Has A Baby Boy!

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 13:11:22 -0700

Model Karen Elson and her hip hubbie Jack White of the White Stripes and The Raconteurs had their second child, a baby boy, yesterday!

The boy was named Henry Lee White, and "the new child and his mother are both feeling very happy and healthy," White's representative said.

Karen and Jack already have a 15-month-old daughter, Scarlett Teresa White. What lucky children: a great gene pool of good looks, beautiful red hair, and music talent!

Fab Ad: Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer '07

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 06:03:33 -0700

These Yves Saint Laurent ads are so gorgeously film noir. There is no doubt Stefano Pilati's work for the house has been successful and these ads are brilliant. They really transport you to a dark, mysterious room dripping with deep purple, where shadows lurk behind model Karen Elson's perfectly crafted seams. The color palette and photography are intriguing and really position Karen as a sexy siren - and I'm not a huge Karen Elson fan. These ads are where the checkerboard chick rules the world and it is a world I know I want to be a part of.
