# Flirty Grunge Fashion Karen Elson in ‘Show Girl' for Marie Claire US June 2010 By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-05-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/show-girl-for-marie-claire-us-june-2010 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/karen-elson-simon-burstall-marie-claire-june-2010/) & [marieclaire](http://www.marieclaire.com/) Karen Elson takes a break from her music career to grace the photoshoot ‘Show Girl,’ for Marie Claire US June 2010. Captured by photographer Simon Burstall, he displays the softer side to the grunge style. The lovely scarlet locks of Karen Elson were prominent for this rocking photoshoot, as she wore an assortment of playful but grunge-inspired fashions from the likes of Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana. I have to hand it to Karen Elson for managing to make grunge look so fashionable, a feat that I had thought was virtually impossible.
