Supermodel, major activist and changemaker, philanthropist, mom to Levi and wife to Joshua Kushner, Karlie Kloss covers the September 11 issue of The Sunday Times Style magazine.

Karlie Kloss’s Backbone

Being married to Jared Kushner’s brother as progressive Democrats — with Ivanka Trump as a sister-in-law — has taught Karlie how to navigate personal minefields with minor public drama. When Twitter turned against Karlie — demanding that she publicly disassociate herself from the Trump family — Karlie kept quiet about the hateful digital abuse and continued on to major anti-Trump protests with her husband Josh.

Kloss is neither self-obsessed or an Instagram drama queen, like so many of her contemporaries. Her recent 30th-birthday spirit has centered on advancing young women for years thru her Kode With Klossy free coding camp for girls aged 13-18, now headquartered in Atlanta. Karlie’s program is highly representative of all young women in America.

Fragile is not a word ever used to describe Karlie — not even when so-called fellow progressives were accusing her of having no character on Twitter, demanding that she publicly disassociate herself from the Trump family.

Karlie is inspired by other women with similar mindsets like her close supermodel friend Christy Turlington, who is devoted to improving maternal health among poor women in America and around the world, through her foundation ‘Every Mother Counts’ or EMV.

In the fashion story ‘Supermodel Karlie Kloss Showcases the New Season’s Main Charater Energy’, Karlie reminds us that drama queens come in more than one variety.

Similarily, the clothes Kloss wears in her Times cover story, are architectural masterpieces. Photographer Paola Kudacki [IG] is behind the lens, with styling by Verity Parker.

Black Beauties

AOC does believe in the concept of the more artistic dopamine dressing as an alternative to all-black or mostly-black wardrobes.

However, there’s no denying that black can be a very empowering color, an idea articulated in this 2019 ‘The Paris Review’ article ‘Dark Fashion’ by Nina Edwards, who has written a book on the subject.

Karlie’s theatrical style looks come from Alaïa, Ann Demeulemeester, Givenchy, Maison Rabih Kayrouz, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello and more.
