Once again Steven Meisel glorifies a fashion muse and this time, it is in the form of model superstar Karlie Kloss. In December's issue of Vogue Italia, Karlie (who is totally one of my favourites) bares it all in a racy yet fierce spread entitled 'Body By Kloss', shot by Meisel. Looking through the photos, I can see why people have started to compare her with the great Gisele Bundchen- what with a body this ripped at a staggering five feet and eleven inches, campaigns coming in left and right-from Oscar de la Renta, Dior to Donna Karan, she is definitely a rising star. I do feel a bit uneasy looking at a few of them because she looks a little too ripped, but given that she is really tall and has been quite slim all of her life, maybe it just takes you by surprise. You can see every sinew defined, and like an athlete she looks like she hasn't an ounce of fat on her. Where she may have a little however, is that very shapely bottom of hers! It doesn't come as a surprise that lingerie mega-label Victoria's Secret has also come a'knockin! She matches Meisel's artistry with confidence and beauty way beyond her years, and incredible modelling chops enough to end another model's career. She's got the walk, she can talk the talk (according to Anna Wintour, she's quite the erudite model), and she's got the goods to grace every printable medium and surface. You go girl! Enjoy!
