According to pretty much everyone, 18-yr-old Karlie Kloss is the one to watch during NY Fashion Week. She's six feet tall, a former ballerina and presents herself with a refined walk belying her age.
She's also very excited to be there, which makes cheering her on all the more enjoyable. Because, really, who wants to watch a model drone down the runway, trying to look as disinterested as possible? Boring! (And a little obnoxious, since her only job - which so many covet - is to make the clothes look good by working them, both in body and face.)
Check out Karlie in Donna Karen (the 'embodiment of womanhood,' she says. Agreed!), Jason Wu, Altuzzara and Derek Lam. She's pretty dang stunning in all of them. And feminine, which is such a nice alternative to the droves of almost-androgynous tomboy models of today. (Am I wrong?) Kloss is, let's face it, the reason why I lament both my below-model stature and unprofessional dance training! Arrrrgh. Well, at least I can live vicariously through her!
