Karen Elson To Design For Nine West (PHOTO)

Model-slash-musician Karen Elson can tack on a "slash-designer" to her title.

The redhead is set to partner on an accessories collection for Nine West's Vintage America Collection, which will hit stores this fall, Women's Wear Daily reports. She'll be creating handbags, shoes and jewelry, priced from $32 to $269.

Elson told the fashion newspaper, "My dream of designing a collection that's a true reflection of me has now come to life through this collaboration." And we really like her reflection...so count us in!

Take a first look at one of Karen's sketches and head over to WWD.com for more.

The boot looks like the one in the nursery rhyme about the old lady who lived in a shoe. This is really ugly.

Who needs to study fashion to be a designer... just be famous (for apparently, anything), get some name recognition and then jump over the poor anonymous souls who actually attend school for this.
