SIGNATURE JEWELRY
I tell my kids that I love
them to the moon and
stars and back, so I wear
this pendant with their
initials. It’s simple but so
sentimental to me. Catbird
chain ($118) and charms
($88–$108); catbirdnyc.com.

Career


Highlight
Walking Alexander McQueen’s
[spring 2004] show,
based on the film They Shoot
Horses, Don’t They?.
It was choreographed by
Michael Clark, and it’s an
experience I will never forget.

FOOTWEAR ESSENTIAL
My Tabitha Simmons shoes get a lot of
action. Tabitha is an old friend of mine,
so I’ve collected many of her designs
over the years. Tabitha Simmons
sandals, $795; net-a-porter.com.

Personal


Touch
As a Jo Malone
London ambassador,
I partnered with the
brand to design
customizable
birthstone bottle tops
for their fragrances.
It’s a no-brainer gift,
something that would
feel special to
whoever receives it.

Karen Elson’s

SHARES A FEW OF HER FAVORITE THINGS


BULK BUY
When I see a striped shirt
I like, I grab tons because I
can’t risk it wearing out in
the wash. Saint James shirt,
$75; saint-james.com.

RELAXATION RITUAL
My secret spa day for myself
is putting on a sheet mask
and soaking in a bath with
rose-scented oil—heaven!
Jo Malone London Red Roses
Bath Oil, $68; jomalone.com.
Tatcha Luminous Deep
Hydration Lifting Mask,
$25; tatcha.co.

READING LIST
Love Warrior,
by Glennon Doyle,
is a beautiful story
about the process
of becoming a
woman and all the
things we struggle
with. I think she
is reinventing
what feminism
can mean.

STYLE
EVOLUTION
Lately I’ve been
trading vintage
dresses for a more
clean-lined look.
I like Tom Ford,
Givenchy, and
Stella McCartney—
her suits are the
best on earth.

MAKEUP MUST
Because I travel so much, I’m
all about the compact packaging
of Rodin lipsticks. Red Hedy is
one of my go-to shades. Rodin
Olio Lusso Luxury Lipstick in Red
Hedy, $38; rodinoliolusso.com.

SWEET TREAT
I’m obsessed with
this dried mango
snack from Whole
Foods. It’s like
candy! I could go
through a bag a
day, so I have to
stop myself.
