Karlie Kloss with WSJ Magazine 'My Monday Morning' Dec. 28, 2020
/
Karlie Kloss joins WSJ Magazine’s My Monday Morning series on how self-motivated people start off the week.
Supermodel, businesswoman, women-owned businesses investor, co-owner of W Magazine, host of Bravo’s ‘Project Runway’, founder of Kode With Klossy, wife to Joshua Kushner and mom to be, Karlie Kloss says that her week actually begins on Sunday, after being offline on Saturday.
WSJ’s Lane Florsheim runs through the list of questions from Karlie’s workout routine to her favorite breakfast.
When it comes to life post-baby, are there other supermodel moms who you look up to in the industry?
Where to begin? Christy Turlington [Burns] has been a role model and mentor of mine. (Note: the two are very close personal friends, as well.) She is somebody who I feel really lucky to have to look to for guidance and advice. Her work with Every Mother Counts is one of the reasons why early on in my career I realized the opportunity to make the most of having the platform.
Do you have a best time management or efficiency hack?
In a weird way, I feel like I’ve been able to become much better with my time management [during the pandemic]. I feel more productive and more involved than before, [not] being on an airplane and in transit all the time. Today, I did an Instagram Live for Adidas with Alexis [Williams], this amazing [Kode With Klossy] scholar who was in the campaign with me. Then I went straight to a board meeting, we had our first ever W board meeting. This year, we acquired W magazine in the middle of a virtual world which has been an amazing endeavor.
And then I had a quick 20 minutes to go pee and grab lunch and then race back. And then we have a big Kode With Klossy presentation this afternoon. It’s been really interesting and exciting to see the innovative ways for us all to communicate or [for] brands to reach people. This past summer, Kode With Klossy went virtual for the first time ever. For the past five years, we’ve run in-person summer camps across the country… [but] by going virtual, we were able to scale in a whole new way. We had students from 20 countries around the world, so it allowed us to grow in an unprecedented way.
