Karlie Kloss and Carolina Herrera: A Modern Women Brand Match in ELLE España AOC Fashion

The astonishingly grounded and successful supermodel activist, humanitarian, wife and mother, philanthropist, investor, and hands-on businesswoman Karlie Kloss covers the December 2024 issue of ELLE España [IG].

The Carolina Herrera ‘Good Girl’ ambassador is styled by Bárbara Garralda in three ELLE covers and a fashion story for the Carolina Herrera brand. Photographer Xavi Gordo [IG] captures the perfectly elegant looks for the holidays and resort getaways, as AOC dives into an examination of a Kloss-Herrera alliance that’s worth a Harvard Business School case study.

The successful relationship between Karlie Kloss and Carolina Herrera the brand and their Good Girl fragrance is a thriving business/personal activist relationship founded in 2018.

From the onset, shared values were a cornerstone of their synergy. Karlie’s philanthropy centered around @KodeWithKlossy — her 2015-launched, summer camp initiative teaching teen girls ages 13-18 to code. The tech initiative was embraced with words of praise and financial funding by the Carolina Herrera leadership team.

Karlie Kloss and Reproductive Freedom

There is no doubt that the halo effect of Karlie Kloss for Carolina Herrera is a positive one, as this 32-year old mother of two boys increases her activism around women’s health access. Kloss chooses carefully her partners in activism in ways that do no harm to Carolina Herrera. If they did, AOC believes that Karlie would give up the relationship, rather than step back.

In 2024 Karlie joined forces with Phoebe Gates, daughter of Melinda and Bill Gates, in support of women’s reproductive freedom.

They created the ‘In Bloom’ series and ‘Everybody’s Fight’, acting as executive producers with the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. The project highlights both those most impacted by reproductive freedom restrictions and those chronicling the intense fight on the frontlines in America.

The Power of Melinda Gates

Melinda Gates herself has spun off her own philanthropic funding from her former husband’s and spotlighted Karlie Kloss as one of six humanitarians she supports worldwide in the September 2024 issue of Vanity Fair Magazine.

AOC’s point in highlighting Karlie’s relationship with Carolina Herrera is that even where the brand isn’t officially involved with a project, their clients are sophisticated women of all ages who 80-90% support the efforts of women like Karlie Kloss, Melinda Gates and now, Melinda’s daughter Phoebe in 2024.

Melinda Gates has been a warrior in this fight for many years. And most educated women see this perilous battle as an absolute nightmare in the next four years.
