Channelling her inner flapper, model Karlie Kloss stars alongside ballet dancer Justin Peck in the Vogue Australia May 2013 issue. Inspired by the soon-to-hit theaters 'The Great Gatsby,' she is clad in dazzling 20s-inspired frocks that would make any girl shimmy. It appears that Kloss likes to show off her footwork as she just displayed some of her moves in Vogue Paris earlier this year.
The Vogue Australia May 2013 cover shoot was lensed by talented photographer Arthur Elgort. Shot in studio with a bright spotlight, the looks have been modernized slightly with a wet hair style and a somewhat natural makeup look. The editorial was outfitted by stylist duo Shala Monroque and Catherine Baba.
