Karlie Kloss: towering over the modeling world
From towering heights to catwalks to coding
A tale of a supermodel who's got it all
Karlie Elizabeth Kloss was born on August 3, 1992, in Chicago, Illinois, to Tracy Kloss, a freelance director, and Kurt Kloss, a doctor. But there's tall, and then there's Karlie Kloss tall. At 188 centimeters (6'2"), the 28-year-old towers over her model peers and has become one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion industry.
Kloss's height has been both a blessing and a curse. It helped her land her first modeling job at the age of 14, but it has also made it difficult to find clothes that fit and to feel comfortable in her own skin.
"I've always been the tallest girl in my class," Kloss said in an interview with The Cut. "I was always the one who had to sit in the back of the bus and couldn't reach the pedals in the car. It wasn't until I started modeling that I realized that my height could be an asset."
Kloss has used her height to her advantage, becoming one of the most successful models in the world. She has walked the runways of countless fashion shows, graced the covers of magazines, and starred in campaigns for some of the world's biggest brands.
But Kloss is more than just a model. She is also a successful businesswoman, having launched her own line of cookies and a coding camp for girls. She is also a vocal advocate for women's rights and education.
Kloss is a role model for young women everywhere, proving that you can be successful and confident no matter your height. She is a reminder that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and that it is important to embrace what makes you unique.
