Karlie Kloss: parameters, career, personal life.

December 16, 2014, 23:26

I watched the last VS show and I had vague doubts about the height of Karlie Kloss. Everywhere I came across her data, they write that the height of the model is 180 cm ... Therefore, I decided to check what is happening there with the angels, who seem to be almost the same height, but a little like "Carly is a tower"))))

Baseline: Karlie Kloss - 180cm

Doutzen and Alessandra are 178cm and Adriana is 176cm.

Let's see what this difference looks like.


The gif shows the difference. Lima is not much higher. From the photo it looks like there is a bigger difference. Probably because of the stance of the girls: Lima stretches up and her head is slightly raised, and Ambrosio stands with his legs wide apart. Therefore, we can believe that the difference between them is 2 cm.

What about the difference between Doutzen and Alessandra?

Doutzen has shoes with a platform of the order of a centimeter, while the difference between the girls is not very big - about two or three cm. In general, it is clear that these unfortunate 2 cm are not so obvious, only with certain stances or angles and the girls again look almost the same.

Based on the foregoing, it is also not very noticeable that Carly should be taller than Lima and Krez. The difference is also 2 cm. And the difference between Carly and Alessandra should become more obvious. It's still 4 inches.

But for now, let's put that aside and move on to Taylor Swift.

According to some sources (KP), Taylor Swift, like Lima and Doutzen, is 178 cm tall, but she looks significantly shorter than Carly. How much lower?

Here Swift is on a platform of about 3-4 cm. Carly is without a platform.

So, the most appropriate photo is below:

Carly is 180 cm, Swift is 178 cm next to her, while she is about 8 cm in heels and is still 4-5 cm lower than Carly. So how tall is Swift? If summarized and rounded up, then Carly is taller than Taylor by more than 10 cm. Swift sprout about 167-168 cm.

If so, then Swift should be shorter than Lima and Croesus and even Alessandra .... and even Candice, whose height is 175 cm. Therefore, if we look at the photo from the VS show or the video, then Swift next to the above angels should be below... What do we really see?

Yes, Taylor is lower and it's obvious. With the initial data Candice - 175 cm!

And if so, then the photo below says a lot:

Candice is taller than Taylor, but Carly is taller than Candice by 13-15 cm

Now back to Carly and Lima...

The difference of 2 centimeters between them in this photo is refuted. Lima in heels, Carly without them, and the difference is half a head... What does that mean?

Taylor is shorter than Candace, Candace is shorter than Lima (which is also confirmed by this photo - they are in the same shoes and Swanepoel is lower), Lima is lower than Carly - everything is obvious.

Only the difference between Carly and Lima is far from 2 cm, but approximately the same as between Taylor and Carly in the photo above. Therefore, Carly is taller than Adriana by the same "more than 10 cm", which means Carly's height is about 190 cm.

Successful, self-confident, sexy and persistent, all these words characterize one girl - Karlie Kloss. It is not surprising with such ideal forms for the modeling business to become a top model in a relatively short period of time.

Now she is considered a style icon, and professional photos adorn the covers of the most influential glossy magazines.

Young years

The future style icon was born on August 3, 1992 in Chicago in the family of an ambulance worker.

The girl has three more sisters, whose names also begin with the letter "K". In 1994, the whole family moved to live in St. Louis, where Carly spent all her childhood.

Before linking her life with the modeling industry, the young lady loved to dance and gave all her strength to this activity. And even immediately after graduation, she successfully passed the exam for admission to the ballet academy.

First steps to the top

Her career in modeling business began accidentally and unexpectedly during a performance at one of the charity performances. On that day, representatives of the fashion industry noticed the girl and invited her to try herself in this industry.

Already in 2006, Karlie Kloss's photo adorned 12 pages of the Chicago Scene Magazine, which eventually sent the same photos to Elite New York, after which its employees lured the promising person to them.

Until that moment, Carly did not quit her studies at the ballet academy, but tried with all her might to combine work with study.

In 2007, Carly's photos were placed on the cover of youth Vogue, after which she was invited to participate in photo shoots for Vogue magazines, New York Times T Style. The girl also took part in the filming for advertising the brand Abercrombie.

And in 2008, the model began to cooperate with the famous American agency NEXT Model Management, thanks to which she was completely immersed in work and took part in 31 fashion shows in New York, 13 in the world fashion capital - Paris and 20 in Milan.

And that's just for the fall season.

Agree, these are very impressive figures for a novice model. Carly was also delighted, and most importantly, she really enjoyed this kind of activity and was not going to stop there.

There were no scandals either. Between two modeling agencies an argument broke out. "Elite" was not happy with the fact that NEXT Model Management "stole" a promising girl from them, they believed that Carly should be grateful to their agency, because whoever but they opened a model in her.

On this basis, Elite sued NEXT, but after a while this scandal subsided a bit, and soon disappeared altogether. But in this moment the supermodel did not go to either one or the other, but signed a contract with IMG Models, in connection with which, its director and part-time vice president Ivan is very happy.

Already in 2011, the long-legged beauty closes the top three best models world according to models.com.

fashion shows

Carly's first fashion show took place in 2007 during the show of the new collection of the world brand Calvin Klein. Later, the model was noticed by other reputable designers and invited to represent the collections:

  • Gucci;
  • valentino;
  • Alexander McQueen.

After each show, Karlie Kloss became more and more popular and in demand, and each fashion designer dreamed of collaborating with this model.

Karlie Kloss at first sight attracts the attention of future employers with her ideal parameters(81-61-85). The model, thanks to them and its high growth, will harmoniously fit into any image.

It is because of this that Dior and John Galliano are her constant fans, who regularly invite the long-legged beauty not only to perform at their shows, but also to open and close them.

By the way, the height of Karlie Kloss is 184 cm, and because of this, many believe that the girl promotes anorexia with her photos, and some publications refuse to use even the most nice pictures to print.

However, every time there are well-known fashion houses that are delighted not only with the professionalism of the model, but also with its suitable parameters. Among these was the favorite brand of many girls - Victoria's Secret.

In 2011, Karlie Kloss became the angel of this brand, and after a while, its official face, which made it possible to demonstrate the best things from the new collections.

Personal life

Very little is known about the personal life of this model, but there is a lot of talk in the press about mutual sympathy with Taylor Swift. We will talk about friendships, although many attribute love to these talented girls.


For the first time, Taylor and Carly met at the Victoria's Secret show in 2013 and immediately after it, the girls became very good friends and have been inseparable for 17 months now. Carly and Taylor Swift are very similar in character and even outwardly. So it's no surprise that the editors of Vogue USA wanted to play up the friendship between Taylor and Carly with a great photo shoot.

They were inspired by joint photo girls posted on Instagram. The pictures really turned out to be bright and interesting and accurately describe the real female friendship. Of course, after all, Taylor Swift and her girlfriend were not photographed by anyone, but by the famous photographer Mikael Jansson.

The editor-in-chief of the Italian edition hastened to express her opinion that Kloss is by no means anorexic.
