In recent years the newest generation of supermodels
have been making names for themselves by dominating
covers, walking numerous fashion shows a season and
hosting television shows and events.
They
have slowly been taking back the beauty campaigns, fashion
covers and editorials that for the past decade have
been leaning towards celebs and actresses.
Were
talking about the new gen of supermodels Joan, Cara,
Lindsey, Jourdan, and Karlie.
Of
these new faces joining the familiar goddesses of the
modeling world such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana
Lima and Candice Swanepoel just to name a few, there
has been one new generation supermodel that has stood
out.
Over
the past year if you flipped through the pages of your
favorite glossy, chances are you've seen this modeling
superstar numerous times. You've held her face on multiple
covers of Vogue and Elle. You've seen her open and close
more shows at Fashion Week than any other, and lately
you've seen a new VS angel and first time ever short
hair girl for VS.
We're
talking about Karlie Kloss and let's not forget the
co-host of the all-new MTV House of Style along with
her good friend Joan Smalls. Over
the past two years Karlie Kloss has been everywhere,
she was our 2012 supermodel of the year and kept steady
in the top 5 of our supermodel rankings.
Her
story like so many other supermodels starts out with
Kloss not having dreams of becoming a model. She spent
years training as classical ballet dancer until that
life changing day she was scouted.
Karlie
early modeling career began with the development of
husband and wife Jeff and Mary Clarke, the owners of
Mother Model Management who discovered her at the age
of thirteen. We could go on and on about how the Clarks
train and developed their models, yet to simply put
it, if you're going to have a mother agency there is
no others like Mother Model Management.
As
Karlie's modeling career began to blossom, her entire
family came together to help support her promising career.
Her three sisters were always there to help, her family
made the move to be closer to New York City, and her
aunts at times flew with her to Europe when she had
show or a shoot.
Keep
in mind, Karlie's typical day could be closing a show
for Oscar de la Renta, homework later that night, then
waking early for highschool the next day.
At
just 21 years old the 6' 1" Kloss has achieved
so much, yet her greatest accomplishment is her collaboration
with Momofuku Milk Bar which she shares her Karlie's
Perfect 10 Kookie recipe, with proceeds benefiting hungry
children around the world through FEED Projects.
Known
for her famous panther like runway walk Kloss has definitely
helped light that spark for the new generation of supermodel,
add that she is becoming one of VS sexiest Angel and
let's not forget she has plenty more Kookie recipes
in the works. We can surely see Karlie around for many
more years just like her supermodel idol Christy Turlington.
