Anyway, today is Fashion Feature Friday! Every Friday, I'll feature a new person in fashion (aka. designer, model, writer, editor, socialite, actor, etc.) to help you, my dear reader, be well versed in the business of fashion. Your first feature is a model, Karlie KIoss!
I love knowing models. I don't really know why. I just love looking at an ad and going "Oh, that's *insert model name here*!" This is especially relevant to Karlie Kloss, because she is one of the super It Girls of the moment. Every other ad features her, plus she's made a cameo on Gossip girl and has been featured in the November issue of Vogue Magazine (I was ripping out parts of her section to put in The Book the other night).
Karlie was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to St. Louis, Missouri when she was 2. She studied ballet, and after signing with Elite (you may know it as the agency that the winner of America's Next Top Model would win a contract with) in 2007, she rocketed to fashion success. She has appeared in Teen Vogue editorials 4 consecutive times in a year, walked the runway for Calvin Klein, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Chloé, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, starred in ads for Nina Ricci, See by Chloe, and Pringle of Scotland. In 2008, Kloss moved from Elite to Next Agency. She landed her first major cover of Teen Vogue the same year, alongside models Chanel Iman and Ali Michael. She opened for Carolina Herrera, Doo.Ri, Rebecca Taylor, Marni, Pringle of Scotland, and Pucci shows that fall, and closed for Doo.Ri, Jill Stuart, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Matthew Williamson, Alberta Ferretti, Just Cavalli, Pringle of Scotland, and Pucci. She has appeared in spreads for many international magazines such as Korean W, German Glamour and Japanese, Italian, British, French, and Chinese Vogue. She and fellow Teen Vogue cover models Chanel Iman and Ali Michael landed a Lord and Taylor ad in 2008. Between 2008 and 2009, Kloss was featured in runway shows for Isaac Mizrahi, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ohne Titel, Willow, Christian Dior, Gareth Pugh, John Galliano, 3.1 phillip lim, Jason Wu, Thakoon, Sonia Rykiel, and Yohji Yamamoto, and became the face of the perfume Lola by Marc Jacobs, Hermes, and Dior. She has also been featured in countless spreads and covers for many magazines. Karlie Kloss is 18 years old.
I hope today's fashion feature has given you a little incite into the world of fashion. Keep on the lookout for Karlie Kloss!
