Karen Elson makes the Paris guest list

Fashion week does not stop when the last model leaves the runway; it simply changes venue and dims the lights. On October 5, Vogue’s Paris Fashion Week party report placed Karen Elson among the guests at a Donna Karan evening at Sugaar with photographer Mert Alas.

Keep the claim exactly that size: a verified guest appearance, not a new campaign and not a runway booking. For someone whose copper hair has been a fixture of fashion imagery for decades, being on the right Paris guest list is its own quiet statement. Vogue’s report has the original photographs and credits; we are happily not pretending to have been at the door.
