America's favourite sweetheart Karlie Kloss turned nineteen this past August and appears to be embracing adulthood, displaying a more provocative side in recent editorials for Allure and British Vogue, lensed respectively by Mario Testino and Terry Richardson. I have always been a fan of Kloss' gamine beauty and was blown away by her seamless transition into adulthood as evidenced at the recent Spring/Summer 2012 shows. Kloss who has been modelling since she was fifteen, looked riveting on the runway as she opened for Blumarine, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano, and closed for Christian Dior, Lanvin, Elie Saab, Blumarine and Rodarte, displaying a sophisticated and stealth-like beauty that is simply breathtaking.
