In recent years the newest generation of supermodels
have been making names for themselves by dominating
covers, walking numerous fashion shows, and landing
major cosmetic campaigns.
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.
We're
talking about the new gen of supermodels Karlie,
Joan, Lindsey and Jourdan.
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 of supermodel
that has stood out.
Over
the past year if you flipped through the pages
of your favorite glossy, chances are you've seen
Karlie Kloss, 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.
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
23 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.
Her
new adventure is following in the foot steps of
her supermodel
idol Christy Turlington, as Kloss began her first
year of college this Fall.
