How did Kloss start her career, what has she already managed to do and what does the young diva only dream of?
Early years
Karly Kloss was born in the USA, in the city of gangsters - Chicago. Her father was an emergency doctor. In addition to Carly, there were three other girls in the Kloss family (four children in total).
From childhood, the future model was fond of dancing. She was seriously engaged in ballet and planned to associate with this art form all her life. After school, the girl even managed to enter the Caston's academy. The Kloss family was already living in Missouri at the time.
One day, Carly agreed to take part in a charity show held in the city of St. Louis. Karlie Kloss, whose height is 180 cm, seemed to the organizers of the show the ideal model. The beauty of the girl was also appreciated by agents from Elite Model Management and offered her cooperation. So Miss Closs went professionalmodel.
Karly Kloss: photo, the beginning of a modeling career
Carly's career began with her debut photo shoot for Scene Magazine, which was published in Chicago. Karlie Kloss, whose photo was placed immediately on 12 pages of the publication, looked so charismatic that Elite New York outbid these pictures.
In 2007, the girl's career took off: TeenVogue posted her picture on its cover. After that, Carly starred for adult Vogue, as well as for the New York Times T Style. After some time, the brand Abercrombie invited the model to demonstrate clothes from their catalogs.
The best times for Carly came when she signed a contract with NEXT Model Management. This is a serious player in the American model market, which immediately affected the well-being of the model. In just one fall season in 2008, Kloss took part in more than 64 shows. Moreover, Carly walked the catwalk in cities such as New York, Paris and Milan.
Conflict between Elite and NEXT Model Management
Karly Kloss was doing well. She successfully graduated from the ballet academy and became one of the most sought-after models in America. The excitement around the young and successful lady was added by the struggle between the Elite and NEXT Model Management agencies. It turns out that NEXT Model Management simply poached Kloss from the Elite agency.
One can only guess what losses Elite suffered and how many contracts lost with Kloss leaving. Of course, the founders did not like it, and they evensued NEXT Model Management for not playing by the rules. However, the conflict did not develop and soon subsided.
But Karlie Kloss continued to take everything from life: in 2011 she was in the top three models according to Models.com, broke the contract with NEXT Model Management and moved to another agency - IMG Models.
Carly and anorexia
Although the look of the American model can not be called painful, twice disputes and rumors flared up around her thinness.
For the first time, a serious conflict erupted after the publication of pictures of Carly for the Italian edition of Vogue magazine. On them, the model appeared naked, and anyone could appreciate the degree of thinness of the girl. It is known that throughout the secular world there is now a fierce struggle with anorexia. Instantly, the magazine was reproached for promoting thinness that was dangerous to he alth. The editor-in-chief of Vogue, Senora Sozzani, had to make excuses that Kloss's condition had nothing to do with anorexia, but just in case, these pictures were deleted from the Internet.
Soon the story repeated itself: shooting for Numero magazine also had to take place in a half-naked form. In many photos, Carly's ribs protruded too much, so the editors went to the trick - they masked Carly's "frightening" reliefs in Photoshop. But the original pictures still somehow leaked to the Internet.
Carly's Best Shows
The girl started her career with shows of the well-known brand Calvin Klein. It was a promising start. After such a debut, success was guaranteed: model CarlyKloss was noticed by such famous brands as Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Valentino.
