Karlie Kloss, the supermodel, philanthropist and new mom, is making her mark beyond the fashion world: “I wanted to change how I was using my job and my platform as a model.”
Dec. 7, 2021 8:30 am ET
The photographer Richard Avedon once described models as “a group of underdeveloped, frightened, insecure women, most of whom have been thought ugly as children—too tall and too skinny.” Since that time, much has changed. Models have become business powerhouses and, at the top of the industry, can make tens of millions of dollars a year. What hasn’t changed is that modeling is governed by highly subjective standards. But Karlie Kloss is trying to transform that.
After starting to model at 13 years old, Kloss learned some hard truths. “As a young model, your worth, your success or failure is based on the opinions of others about you,” says Kloss, now 29. “And you don’t have control over that.”
