For the September 2014 issue of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Ukraine brilliant photographer Yelena Yemchuk shot fiery redhead model Karen Elson in a series of Victorian-inspired fashion images.

The [fall-themed photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) followed Elson around as if she lived in the Victorian area in a fancy mansion. The images show Elson dressed in [vintage pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-reimagines-autumnal-fashion) like netted face-covering hats, fur coats, turtle neck sweaters and elegant chiffon frocks. As Elson sprawls herself across retro couches and hangs out beside vintage elevators she looks incredibly stunning and avant-garde. One of the images showcases Elson wearing a stunning black dress with a side slit showing off her long legs dressed up in a pair of red tights as she sits at a piano looking off into the distance.
