KARLIE KLOSS YOUNG AMERICAN MODEL

Dear readers of Sport and Beauty. Let's resume our series dedicated to the most beautiful women on earth, the fashion models. Today's instalment is dedicated to one of these human goddesses, American model Karlie Kloss. Despite of her youth, Karlie has already walked for some of the world's most prominent fashion labels like Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein, and Christian Dior.

Let me introduce you the gorgeous American model Karlie Kloss. Here you are Karlie. I must admit that I love her beautiful smile.

American model Karlie Elizabeth Kloss was born on August 3, 1992 in Chicago, Illinois although her family moved to Saint Louis, Missouri, in 1995. In 2002 and prior to became a fashion model, she studied at the prestigious Saint Louis’ Caston ballet Academy. From the beginning Karlie happened to be specially gifted for classic dance and took part in a number of plays such as “The Nutcracker”. The model usually remembers her dancing experience as a wonderful time that not only taught her how to move in the fashion world but also was a kind of field test for her future job on the catwalk. Here you are the data and measurement of this stunningly beautiful American model:

- Full name: Karlie Elizabeth Kloss

- Birth date: August 3, 1992 in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America

- Agency: NEXT Model Management

Karlie Kloss was discovered at the age of thirteen at a charity show held in Saint Louis. It was one of her teachers at Webster Gorves High School who encouraged Karlie to try her luck as a fashion model. In 2007 Kloss signed a contract with Elite Model Management although in January 2008 she would left Elite to join NEXT Model Management. She became famous after Tyra Banks imitated her movements on the catwalk although it was her personal way of walking what came to the attention of fashion designers and earned her a place in the New York Fashion Week where she opened Carolina Herrera fashion show, closed Marc Jacobs’ and opened and closed Doo.Ri’s. After walking in New York, she traveled to Milan (where she walked twenty shows) and Paris (thirteen shows) to present 2008 Fall Winter collections totalling sixty four fashion shows in just one season. Being only fifteen years old she already was a promising model. Her quick success caused Karlie to be in the center of a lawsuit in which Elite (her former agency) sued NEXT for allegedly grabbing its new rising star claiming that they had been responsible for her launch and had got Karlie a lot of first-class assignments. Finally the issue didn’t have serious consequences and both agencies reached an extra-judicial agreement.

In 2008 Karlie Kloss was considered by People magazine as the world’s best model. She has starred in ad campaigns for Donna Karan, Nina Ricci, Chloé, Lacoste, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Gap, Pringle of Scotland, Dior, Hermes, Oscar de la Renta, Sonia Rykiel, Aquascutum, and Victoria's Secret’s youth clothing line PINK. The American model is the image of Marc Jacobs fragrance Lola and has walked in New York, London, Milan, and Paris for a number of the world’s top fashion designers like Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Givenchy, Gucci, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, and Versace. Karlie has also graced the pages of some of the best fashion magazines such as “W” America and Korea, “Elle” America, “Allure”, “i-D”, “Número” France and Japan, “Vanity Fair”, “Dazed & Confused” and “Vogue” America, Australia, Italy, France, UK, Germany, China, Portugal and Latin America. She also appeared on the covers of “Vogue” Italy, Turkey, Portugal, China, Korea, and “Teen Vogue” America together with Chanel Iman and Ali Michael in February 2008 and alone in May 2010. Karlie has also become the muse of British designer John Galliano and appeared in Dior’s, and John Galliano’s campaign opening 2010 Dior Spring Summer couture and resort fashion shows.

In early 2011 Karlie extended her contract with Christian Dior for the third successive year and has recently been considered by designer Jason Wu as one of the new icons of the American style. She opened Christian Dior 2011 couture Spring Summer show in Paris and also appeared in editorials for both “Vogue” and “Vogue” UK magazines. As far as 2011 Spring Summer fashion shows is concerned, Karlie opened ten and closed eight of them. Out of curiosity we’ll say that Karlie has also tried her luck on TV with a small role in the second chapter of the fourth season of TV series “Gossip Girl” where she played herself. She’s good friend with fellow models Coco Rocha, Ali Stephens, Chanel Iman, Toni Garrn, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Irina Kulikova, Frida Gustavsson, Patricia van der Vliet, Ali Michael, and Jourdan Dunn and talking about her hobbies we can say that she likes baking cookies, riding bicycles and, of course, ballet.

POLISH MODELS MONIKA JAC JAGACIAK

Dear readers of Sport&Beauty. Following our review to the world’s most beautiful models, today we’re traveling to Poland to meet one of the most promising fashion models, Polish model Monika “Jac” Jagaciak. Although she’s still very young, she was born in 1994, Jac has emerged into the fashion model in styl starring in ad campaigns for Hermes, walking for Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Gianfranco Ferré, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Cacharel, and Valentino amongst other top fashion labels and appearing in some of the most important fashion magazines like “Elle”, “Vogue”, and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Her beginnings in the fashion world were a bit controversial since, because of her youth, she was forbidden to walk in some of the world’s most important fashion events and got banned from some fashion magazines. Fortunately these problems were sorted out and nowadays her star shines unstoppable making it a safe bet in the world of fashion. Here you are Polish model Monika “Jac” Jagaciak.

Monika “Jac” Jagaciak was born on January 15, 1994 in Poznan. She grew up in a sport-loving family since her father was a coach and her sister, Anna, competes in long jump and triple jump. Who knows if hadn’t she become a fashion model perhaps she would have also been an athlete. According to Jac’s mother, Marlena, Monika is a good student who gets high grades at school and likes sports and painting in her leisure time. Her modeling career started in 2007 after being encouraged by her sister to attend a casting at a local shopping mall. After the contest, she signed a contract with the agency IMG which gave Monika the nickname of “Jac”. Soon after, Jac landed the cover of the issue of July of the French fashion magazine “Jalouse”. Being only thirteen years old she was chosen by Hermes for its Fall Winter ad campaign together with Canadian model Daria Werbowy. Jac who at that time was still at school was cast amongst other 600 girls after a tough selection process. Later in an interview she admitted that she had never heard about Hermes before the campaign which helped her to feel more relaxed during the photo sessions. However she had to take a lot of flak from those who believed she was still very young to take part in a campaign like Herme’s.

The following year, Jac Jagaciak started to travel around the world. The first stop in her journey was Japan where she landed on the cover of “Elle” magazine. In May 2008 she reappeared on the cover of “Jalouse” and in October landed the covers of “Harper’s Bazaar” and “Spur” Japan. She was also to appear on the cover of “Vogue” Australia but she didn’t because Vogue’s director decided she was still too young to grace the cover of a fashion magazine. Still in 2008, the Polish model was forbidden to walk in Sydney’s Australian Fashion Week since the organizers refused to accept model girls under sixteen. Jac, who thought herself to be mature enough to walk, judged this decision as unbelievable claiming that in 2003 Australian model Gemma Ward had made her debut being fifteen and in 2005 Tallulah Morton walked when she was only thirteen years old. Here you are Jagaciak’s data and measurements:

- Full name: Monika Jagaciak aka “Jac”

- Birth date: January 15, 1994 in Poznan, Poland

- Height: 180 centimeters: (5 ft 11 in)

- Measurements: 80-57-86 (EU) : 32.5-22.5-34 (US)

- Hair color: light brown

- Eye color: green blue

- Dress size: 34 (EU) : 4 (US)

- Agency: IMG

Finally, Jac made her catwalk debut in the New York Fashion Week walking in Donna Karan’s and Calvin Klein’s 2009 Fall fashion shows and becoming one of the most notable newcomers of 2009 Fall season. Jac started to be known by her powerful way of trudging the catwalk.
