Lydia Pierre and Desirable Magazine catches up with Karlie Redd for a never before seen side of the Reality Star of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

Karlie Redd has been labeled a Reality Vixen for quite some time and as any Google Image Search will show you, it is not far from the truth. Karlie is known for her temptress style photos and vixen image. However, Desirable Magazine had the chance to see another side of Ms. Karlie Redd. Being that Desirable Mag is a High Fashion Luxury Magazine, everything was done in an effort to stay true to that brand promise. So when it was known that Ms. Redd was going to be our next possible cover model, we made sure that everyone on board did their homework. Everyone on the team (seen below) from the Photographers, to Makeup, to hair and ESPECIALLY Wardrobe were told to study and research everything Karlie Redd and do the exact opposite. The result…a Fabulous Shoot in which Ms. Redd showed us that High Fashion definitely looks good on her.

She tackled each and every pose like a pro and the camera loved her. She gave us Sass, Class and there was no need to show….well, you know. With such amazing work, who knows, maybe Ms. Redd may consider a career in High Fashion Modeling. What do you think? CLICK HERE to see some behind the scenes images and you be the judge.

Stay Tuned for the Release of the Issue with Karlie Redd’s Full Spread.
