Top Model Karlie Kloss

Go backstage with Top model Karlie Kloss, the 19 year old American beauty who insiders like photographer Mario Testino say is destined to be fashion's next supermodel. The last year has been extraordinary journey for Karlie Kloss and we captured some of those moments in this exclusive behind the scenes video.

In the last year Karlie graduated from highschool, walked in every top designer fashion show from Dior to Lanvin, appeared in numerous editorials and ad campaigns and was shot for the cover of LIFE Magazine by fashion photographer Gabrielle Revere.  Karlie is the first model to appear on LIFE's cover in over 20 years, a true honor for this former ballet dancer who grew up in St Louis and is represented by Next Models.

We followed Karlie behind the scenes at New York, Milan and Paris Spring 2012 fashion week, and caught up with her backstage at  Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to find out what life has been like for this icon in the making.  Watch our exclusive behind the scenes fashion video featuring interviews with Mario Testino, Gabrielle Revere and hair stylist Sam McKnight.

John Galliano Spring 2012 Backstage

In Paris we get an exclusive look backstage at John Galliano Spring 2012 with makeup artist Pat McGrath, hairstylist Orlando Pita and top models Karlie Kloss, Miranda Kerr and Constance Jablonski.   The beauty look was inspired by silent movie star Mary Pickford, so Pat used sepia blush on the cheeks and paled out the models skin with light foundation to make the girls look "sweet and innocent".

This was a confident first collection for Galliano's new Creative Director Bill Gaytten, and he stayed true to the brand's feminine aesthetic.  Gaytten worked along side  John Galliano for over 23 years, so he knows how the Galliano girl wants to look and feel. The bias cut evening dresses were sexy and romantic and just the way you want to look in summer.  To shop the collection check out the new John Galliano online store store.

Dior Fall 2010 Backstage

Romantic and vibrant, is the only way to describe the stunning look of Dior for Fall 2010. Designer John Galliano was inspired by the 17th century and the movie the Libertines by Johnny Depp. Backstage makeup artist Pat McGrath gave the models flushed cheeks, and Orlando Pita teased the models hair to the extreme creating a slightly frizzy finish that formed a halo like effect around the head. The result was simply stunning. One of our favorite top models Karlie Kloss opens the show. Watch our fashion video and go backstage.
