Famed photographer Gilles Bensimon shot Karlie Kloss hitting the slopes in the 'Hors Piste' editorial for Vogue Paris' November 2014 issue. The editorial's title translates to "off-track," suggesting that Kloss is treading on the path less traveled, to reference Robert Frost.
Fashion editor Claire Dhelens dressed Kloss in a series of luxurious designer wear from Celine to Ralph Lauren. Kloss looks like the most glamorous skier on this side of the slope, decked out in fur stoles, sequinned pants and high-tech goggles. Kloss experiments with color -- first trying an all-white ensemble, followed by an all-black outfit, before gradually introducing some color.
The creative team was rounded out by hair stylist Damien Boissinot, who provided Kloss with a bouncy, high ponytail, and makeup artist Christelle Cocquet, who went opted for heavy eyeliner and bronzer.
