Affectionately nicknamed The Panther , American Karlie Kloss (Illinois, August 3, 1992) has been making her mark on the catwalks for over ten years thanks to her unique walk, an attribute that she claims to have developed during her years as a ballet dancer. She was discovered at the age of 14 at a local fashion show and in 2012 she signed a contract with the prestigious IMG Models agency, achieving her long-awaited dream: becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel .
Since then, Kloss has walked the runway for the most exclusive fashion houses, including Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace. However, behind her dazzling smile and successful professional career, lies a woman with a passion for programming, a sense of duty and an insatiable appetite for knowledge. Today , on the occasion of her 32nd birthday, we take a look at the most curious (and little-known) facts about the model.
His big comeback in Paris
In 2022, Karlie decided to take a break from modelling to focus much of her life on philanthropic work and motherhood. The question of her retirement remained unknown for more than two years and it was not until Paris Haute Couture in January 2024 that we were able to see her step onto the catwalk again . It was on the occasion of Schiaparelli ‘s Spring/Summer 2024 show , where she wore a spectacular creation inspired by the astronomical discoveries of Giovanni Schiaparelli, the founder’s uncle.

They tried to change his way of marching
The supermodel has repeatedly said that the modelling industry tried to change the way she walked. “Someone tried to tell me to walk a certain way when I was just starting out in my career. And if they had changed that, then I don’t know if I would have had a successful career,” she said in an interview with the American programme Good Morning America.
