Karlie Kloss screen test by Lynn Hirschberg for W Magazine

“… I would be doing the couture shows in Paris and then.. uh, you know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday doing the couture shows and then Monday back in school in my chemistry class at 9am.”

“… I was always the tall girl in everything in my life. Ballet, I was six inches above the whole company…”

“I wore Dior. I wore Dior to my prom! It was so much fun, my prom date was hysterical. He was about, hmm, 11 inches shorter than me, maybe a solid foot.”

“Sometimes I just don’t understand fashion. At all. Sure, there are absolutely times where I sort of get to a fitting or something and I kind of look at my outfit and I’m a bit like, you’ve got to be kidding me right?”

“… I think that maybe I lose my identity too sometimes. You’re becoming a different person 8 times in the same day so I think that sometimes, I don’t know maybe at the end of the day I take all my makeup off and I’m like “Karlie, wait hang on, have we met? I don’t know, I haven’t seen you for a while, how’ve you been?”
