In the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) UK 'An American in Paris' editorial, photographer Angelo Pennetta followed Karlie Kloss, a Chicago native, during [Paris Fashion Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city), putting together a [documentary-like photo essay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) of her life as a model. A mix of off-duty and on-duty shots, the editorial captures her in both candid and posed moments. A concept that took weeks to plan, Pennetta manages to portray Karlie the model and Karlie the person side-by-side.

The Vogue UK editorial is set to appear in the magazine's May 2012 issue. Styled by Francesca Burns, Kloss is seen in everything from casual pajamas to couture dresses. No matter what time of day or setting, she always looks gorgeous and manages to be photographed immaculately from every angle.
