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:

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.
