How Your Favorite Models Got Discovered
Long before walking the biggest shows at fashion week, Kloss walked a charity fashion show in her Missouri hometown. Then, at the age of 15, she made her New York Fashion
Week debut on Calvin Klein's runway.
"I was discovered at 13 in a mall in St. Louis. I had never been on an airplane, actually." she told CBS in 2015.
Since, Kloss has walked every major runway in New York, London, Milan, and Paris—along with starring in campaigns for brands like Oscar de la Renta, Versace, and Diane von Furstenberg. In 2015, she partnered with Flatiron School and Code.org to create a scholarship program, Kode with Klossy,which supports young girls who are interested in computer science to become leaders in tech.
