Karen El-Khazen: A self taught fashion designer | My Daily London - Exploring the city

 Up until recently we thought we were somewhat addicted to shoes, we treasure them, live in them and wear them high [plenty is never enough].

But the record was set straight when we met the founder and designer of Karen K Boutique, Karen El-Khazen. After revealing that she owns over 900 pairs of shoes, from that point on our addiction became nonexistence.

Karen was just 14 years old when she started her modelling career and became the face of the Swiss luxury jewellery brand, De Grisogono [maybe this explain the large number of shoes].

During the years as a model, her love for shoes grew by the day. At the age of 21, she moved to London to pursue her dream in fashion design.

She developed her self-taught skills as a designer and by 2010 launched her first shoe and handbag collection.
