Supermodel Karen Elson joins forces with Dostoyevsky in a studio lesson around the creative talents employed by the most talented models in our fashion industry. Lilya Simonyan styles Elson in period-elegance lensed by Kat Irlin [IG] for the November 2021 issue of ELLE Russia.

Karen Elson has worked tirelessly to raise standards for models in the world of fashion, while maintaining the highest execution bar for herself. This is why her energy is so powerful. Elson is proof that the high bar is reachable, which is why she sat next to Edward Enninful — who sat next to Anna Wintour who sat next to Demi Moore — at the recent Stella McCartney Spring 2022 show.

We note that Elson possesses one of Stella McCartney’s new mushroom handbags, writing about the Spring 2022 show that has had tremendous impact on AOC:

“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Stella in the sense that she’s stuck to her values by not using any animal products in her collections and actively uses new technologies to prove that you don’t have to. Her commitment to sustainability is something that many in fashion take note on. My bag for instance was made using mushrooms and the entire show’s inspiration was about the power of fungi”
