The Graduate

Karlie Kloss completes her transition from top model to fully-fledged supermodel with the December issue of Vogue Italia. Kloss, who turned nineteen this year, appears on the Steven Meisel lensed cover and in an accompanying editorial which features the formerly wholesome model embracing a decidedly more sexual persona. Kloss appears completely nude in the riveting editorial, capping of a year which has seen her posing provocatively alongside bestie Jourdan Dunn for i-D Magazine, shedding her top for Mario Testino in Allure, and stealing the limelight at the Victoria's Secret runway show. Kloss has been working out with a personal trainer over the past six months and the results are clearly evident with Kloss showcasing her toned physique and ripped abdominals before Meisel's lens.

Kloss has steadily buillt her profile as a high fashion runway and editorial model over the past few years and is no doubt looking to extend her commercial reach by upping the ante on the sex appeal stakes. Smart move on the part of her management team at Next who are carefully mapping out Kloss' every move to ensure her longevity in the ever fickle world of modelling.

America's Sweetheart

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.
