This Karlie Kloss editorial for Interview magazine (simply titled ‘Karlie’s Couture’) features the model in eclectic fashion looks styled by Elin Svahn and photographed by Gregory Harris. The most bizarre of the ensembles is a glittery gem-stone face mask paired with elbow length black gloves, an embroidered bodice gown over jeans and topped off with socks and sandals.
For the tamer looks, Karlie took the skate park, photographed in a glittery black dress and tube socks combo while hanging out with some skateboarders, strutting her stuff in a fire-engine red, parachute-inspired pant, or casually hanging out in a multi-tiered taffeta ball gown. The extravagance of these fashions creates a stunning juxtaposition with the urban environment of the skate park, and Kloss offers a full range of facial expression -- from a unapologetic yawn to an inquisitive stare -- that helps her pull off the eccentric styles.
