Karen Mulder Then
Karen Mulder is a Dutch supermodel whose rise to stardom began in the early 1990s. She’s famously known for her collaborations with Chanel and Versace, as well as becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel. During her second runway appearance, she modeled for Yves Saint Lauren, Christian Lacroix, and Giorgio Armani.
While still in high school, she saw an ad for the Look of the Year contest in a newspaper. However, since she was wearing braces at the time, she didn’t have the self-confidence to apply. However, a friend had submitted her application without her knowledge, and she ultimately made it to the second round.
