Karen Elson & Jack White Models for Vogue US June 2010

{YBA} On the occasion of the release of her debut album, The Ghost Who Walks, model Karen Elson appears with her husband, Jack White, in the June 2010 issue of Vogue.

Photographed for the first time together in a publication, model and musician couple, Karen Elson and Jack White go on a whimsical road trip for the June edition of Vogue US. Captured by Annie Leibovitz in the couple’s hometown of Nashvill, the duo wears a combination of vintage and contemporary ensembles from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferreti and John Galliano courtesy of Grace Coddington in Frock & Roll.

On a very rainy, very London kind of morning in Manhattan, Karen Elson, a spidery vision in a peach gossamer shrug and black leggings, is sitting in the Breslin at the Ace Hotel, drinking strong coffee and eating buttered toast. “I’m really English,” she says, almost apologetically. “I don’t like the crust” She was kept up last night by guests partying in the room next door, but she is not complaining, because that is not her style. Besides, when she is in New York, where she lived for ten years, Elson prefers a groovy vibe. “At some hotels,” she says, I feel like I have to be dressed to the nines—perfectly eccentric—to walk out the door. This place feels like home. (Vogue US June 2010)
