One of the first issues of Top Model magazine was entirely devoted to Mulder along with an entire issue of Italian Vogue. Her two appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
in 1997 and 1998 and her poses for the Victoria's Secret
catalogue increased Mulder's profile.
Called "The Blonde With Class" by Vogue editors, she went on to share catwalks with models such as Kate Moss
, Cindy Crawford
, Claudia Schiffer
, and Naomi Campbell
. At one point in her career she was earning up to £10,000 a day. Mulder retired
from modeling in 2000.
Afterwards, she tried other career paths. She branched out into acting, making her debut in the French short film A Theft, One Night in 2001. She also pursued a career in music but had limited success. Her first effort at establishing a music career was her cover version of Gloria Gaynor
's "I Am What I Am", which appeared on the French music charts for a time in the summer of 2002.

Le Fur began to manage Mulder's off-the-runway career. In 1995, he collaborated with Hasbro
on a Karen Mulder doll, which spurred development of an entire line of dolls modeled on the day's supermodels. Le Fur and Mulder then did an infomercial
and video. Mulder's favorite project she worked on was a beauty and fashion CD-ROM
, in which she gave makeup, beauty, and exercise tips. In 1995, she bought a château

, and with a live audience in the studio, that various people, including top executives at her former agency, Elite Model Management
, and Prince Albert of Monaco, had tried to rape her. Moreover, Mulder said that her own father had hypnotized
her from the age of two and then raped her. The producers of the show deemed her emotionally unstable and did not broadcast the interview. Not only was the show never aired, but the entire recording was erased.
Days later, Mulder repeated her allegations, this time to a weekly magazine in an interview conducted in her Paris apartment. Within hours of the interview, her sister Saskia arrived and took her to Villa Montsouris, a psychiatric hospital
specializing in such disorders as depression
, anxiety
, and delirium
, where she stayed for five months. The stay reportedly was paid for by Elite models president Gerald Marie, an old friend of hers and one of the accused. (It came after the BBC caught Marie on hidden camera trying to give a 15-year-old model £300 for sex, and bragging about Elite Model Look competitors he would sleep with that year.)
On 11 December 2002, after suffering for years from chronic depression, Mulder went into a coma
after she overdosed on sleeping pills in an apparent suicide attempt. She left no note. She was rushed to the American Hospital in Neuilly
after neighbors found her passed out on the floor of the Paris apartment on exclusive Avenue Montaigne
where she was staying with friends. Mulder's parents flew from the Netherlands to be by her side along with former fiancé Jean-Yves Le Fur. Le Fur was reportedly one of the people who found Mulder unconscious after arriving at the apartment after Mulder had not answered several of his telephone calls. She awoke from her coma the next day.
On 1 July 2007 she returned to the catwalk at the Dior
