High Praise
August 21st, 2009 Janelle comments (33)As a model you know you’re on the right path when the greats like Steven Meisel and Arthur Elgort are singing your praises. With her remarkable poise, tireless work ethic and sparkling personality Karlie Kloss has garnered some very big fans in high places. In the September issue of Vogue, Karlie is shot by Annie Leibovitz and we get a chance to find out just why she’s such a photographer favorite. Hear what some of fashion’s finest have to say about Ms. Kloss.
“She’s disciplined and has danceability, repetition and gorgeous legs. And she’s happy to hang up her clothes after each picture. She was first a Teen Vogue girl and I was so delighted to shoot with her – light on her feet, happy to work, like a young Christy Turlington.” – Arthur Elgort
“She’s an amazing model. She knows clothes. She has tons of energy. She will add things to the shoot that I would never have thought of. She thinks from the point of view of an editor and photographer, not just that of a model. When she’s allowed to be free, to be creative she’s at her best. She likes extreme things. She likes to go all the way.” – Steven Meisel
Karlie Kloss by Annie Leibowitz for Vogue US Sept 2009

A true inspiration and artist/muse, America heralds in a true Supermodel. Bravo Karlie you deserve all that life offers you.

Karlie Kloss is the modern day answer to what the supermodel was in the past. She embodies something bigger, something more grand than just a pretty face. NEXT + KLOSS served to be a great combo!!! I am waiting for Anna to give Karlie the nod for an only girl MODEL cover. GO KARLIE!

Good fo her, but she doeasn’t impress me.
Girl’s got the skills, but her face just does nothing for me. I think America can do better and bring a girl with more interesting look, more beautiful and more charismatic.
But you never know, maybe one day Karlie will grow on me and I will understand the hype.

I’m not a fan, but I’m happy to hear that someone so young is such a professional and a nice person, that is always good to hear.

Karlie Kloss is extremely talented and she deserves it
She brings personality into everything that she does
Not only can she pose extremely well, she also has a very recognizable walk and her pictures exude a personality and a fire behind them
She has legs that could kill!!
you go Karlie!!

“She will add things to the shoot that I would never have thought of” – why models.com is using the above photo as an example of this I have no idea?! She looks so average and unoriginal?!

Is Karlie gonna be the next Gisele???
She’s definitely Raw like the really young Gisele ( dark haired, pale )
can Karlie trump Lara Stone, who’s aggressively been pushed to the number 1 spot?
well Karlie has all the Big Backers behind her…..
I’m staying tune on this one?

Karlie is bland. She does her job nicely, but there’s nothing remarkable about her presence. She’s average if you compare her to other models, like Lara (a force of nature, gorgeous and definitely not aiming to please), Sasha (alluring, mysterious and willing to change from work to work), Stam (dark and somehow dangerous), Lily (an english rose) or Eniko (innocent doll looks paired with a sexy body). And quit the “supermodel” thing. These days are over. Thank God. Time for down to earth models, not stuck up model celebrities.

LOL @ Maggie
Just because Karlie hangs the frocks she’s wearing at photoshoots, means she aim to please everybody LOL

She’s got the kind of beauty that’s somewhat hard to like, but maybe it will grow on me.

If Steven Meisel is amazed with this girl… it’s because she is really special!
I want to have her in my portfolio too!!!

her walk and her stare caught my eye first time i saw her and i have been following her ever since.. go karlie!!

yes, she’s extremely talented but I still think Karlie started modeling at way too young of an age. but then again, so many supers did the same.
I noticed Karlie when I saw her editorial for Teen Vogue and I just thought she was gorgeous. Then I found out that she didn’t even start her first year of high school. And now she takes online classes. Good for her for continuing her academic work but it still saddens me that this young girl must grow up so fast with her job. Childhood passes before you know it (I should know…I turned 18 last year!) and she should’ve embraced it while she could. Is there anyone else out there who thinks the same?…

Karlie Kloss, like any other top models in her era, possesses something unique about her. Her graceful body, unique facial features plus the constellation, the presence and her personality is so ready in the business and the best is that she is so eager to know better and braver than some other models who only displays themselves without giving their ideas to the professionals. I think that’s why I like her to be a muse and a dear friend hopefully in the future. God bless you Karlie!
