Her trademarks are her red hair & her eyebrows, which fashion photographer Steven Meisel once persuaded her to shave off.
Elson has walked the runways of many top fashion designers including Marc Jacobs (which she did while pregnant), Chanel & Roberto Cavalli. She has appeared in international campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Dior, Burberry & Chanel, to name a few.
In 2005, Elson won the British Fashion Award for Best Model, over fellow catwalkers Lily Donaldson & Danny Beauchamp.
She is also known as a singer & performer. She briefly dated James Iha in 2001 they recorded a couple of songs togther which where released. She sang the provocative "I love you (Me either)" with Cat Power on a tribute album to French songwriter & singer Serge Gainsbourg. Karen is currently a creative director & performer with the New York City- based politically minded cabaret troupe The Citizens Band & has performed with them at various night life hotspots as well as at downtown power-house gallery Deitch Projects. Critical response to Karen's performances have been unequivocally positive, with several journalists likening her voice to that of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval. As one of the leaders of The Citizens Band she has performed a variety of songs including well received covers of The Velvet Underground, Mimi & Richard Farina, Pete Seeger & Leonard Cohen.
On June 1, 2005, she married Jack White (of the bands The
Raconteurs & The White Stripes) in Brazil. The wedding took place in a canoe
in the Amazon River & was officiated by a shaman. A Catholic priest later
blessed the ceremony. Elson first met Jack while filming the White Stripes video
for the single "Blue Orchid" directed by Floria Sigismondi. Elson gave
birth to the couple's first child, daughter Scarlett Teresa, on May 2, 2006 in
Tennessee. The couple are expecting their second child.
