there is nothing wrong with being greedy

 

[Kanna]

^ That's cool. The problem is that it should be her who is greedy, not me.

Even though she keeps walking for several shows in NY, it doesn't feel enough. Her look is more proper for 'avant garde' shows such as Victor & Rolf and Alexander McQueen.
I miss the old days.

Her and AM are so good together!!! I love his shows *sigh*

Vogue UK ed



eBay

The seller didn't give any other information about this. I'm curious..
At least her hair is telling that it comes from one of the 1997 issues. Can it be December?

Thanks for all the scans Kanna!

Vogue UK ed. Can it be December?

Hey Kanna, I have that mag, and it is the Oct '97 issue, on the cover is a pic of Princess Diana 1961-1997. The lovely Karen is so young and fresh faced in that ed.

you are very welcome..

and I have spent far to much money on ebay trying to collect as much of the Karen stuff I can get my hands on.. I just love her work so... I missed a Nylon Mag. with her on the cover.. and so if anyone knows where I can get my mittens on the Nylon with Karen on the cover (came out sometime around year 2000) then please give me a shout

 

[Kanna]

^ It's April 2001.

Karen has been modelling for 12 years(including the year 1996, before she was discovered by Steven Meisel) so there are a huge bunch of stuffs to collect. It's not easy at all, but I think it's worth collecting.

thanks for all of the photos!

 

[Deleted member 103137]

ohh thanks for all those pics Kanna..
she was working so much back then..

Could I possibly bother you all with a request!!

Could we make a list of all the mags, and the month, year, that Karen has edits in? As mostly she isn't on the cover of the mag, so I don't know which mags to be looking for..
Knowing this info. would really help with my collection

So far I have:
The face: aug. '97 ~ cover and ed.
Dutch: jan/feb. '00 ~ cover but no ed.
Vogue Italy: mar. '00 ~ cover and ed.
Dazed & Confused: dec/jan '00 ~ cover and ed.
Dutch jan/feb '02 ~ cover and ed.
Vogue Italy: dec. '04 ~ cover and ed.
Vogue Italy: giu << not sure which month that is. '04 ~ cover and ed.
Vogue Italy: ott << not sure which month that is. '05 ~ cover and ed.
Vogue Italy: dec. '06 ~ cover and ed.
vogue Italy: apr. '07 ~ cover and ed.

There must be loads more..
Any suggestions welcome and Thanks!!

Does the Dazed and Confused issue have an interview with her? I know it was either Dazed or Nylon that interviewed her back in 2000/2001. I would be very interested to read it.

Karen has done SOOOO many edits so far. All editors and photographers love her so much. (Who wouldn't? )

I collect Karen's stuff either. Whoa, you have many rare items.
Giu is June in Italian and Ott is October.

In 1997 she did :

Vogue Italia
Jan. - only ed
Feb. - cover & ed (as you know, the cover made her fly.)
Mar. - cover & ed / HC supplement cover & ed
Sep. - 2 eds
Nov. - ed
Dec. - ed

Vogue Paris
May - ed
Dec. 97/Jan 98 - cover & ed

Vogue US
Nov. - ed
Dec. - 2 eds (multi-models)

Bazaar US
June - ed

There will be much more but I can't remember all of them.
Maybe she did more eds for US Vogue.
