One of the youtube channels I have been keeping up with lately is “Klossy” by Karlie Kloss, and the more and more I watch it the more I see a great example of how you never have to truly define yourself by one job.
Most of us might have first heard of Kloss when watching the odd Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show or simply as the “best friend” of Taylor Swift. However in the last few years, her work has expanded to a number of cool and different avenues. She represents how important it is to try new things, yet follow as many of your passions as you like, regardless of how you think you will be looked at. So, in a little more detail this is why I dedicate this weeks People Post to the awesome Karlie Kloss!
1. A Thinker.
Whilst working as a very successful model (a big achievement in its own right), Kloss has been very active in her entrepreneurial and philanthropic ventures. In 2012 Karlie worked with Momofuku Milk Bar to create a recipe for cookies which she since used to raise money for Feed Projects an organisation dedicated to improving world hunger. In 2014 she launched a scholarship for teenage girls titled “The Kode with Klossy scholarship” to support them financially as they studied coding.
Doing something like this not only helps those already interested in code to take their interest a step further, but it also allows for much more attention to be placed on something as important in today’s world as coding; a skill that many could find very useful in the modern world. Being followed and idolised by many people, Kloss uses her platform to provide an opportunity for them to learn about something other than beauty, or fashion.
2. A Creative.
Something I found particularly cool was her decision to collaborate with Adidas on several of their projects including the “Here to Create” campaign where she, like many of the other ambassadors of “Here to Create” promote the power of refining one’s craft, making things happen or simply… creating.
As well as being the face of numerous brands, Kloss launched her own youtube channel “Klossy”, where she documents her travels, interest in cooking, her work in fashion and the people she meets along the way. Although is it a very common thing to create a youtube channel, as a viewer I feel like she has done a great job at keeping her video’s interesting in their different styles. She vlogs, travels, interviews, walks runway shows, does baking tutorials, learning videos and is great at speaking to her audience.
3. A Role Model.
This is picking up where the last few lines of the second point left off but overall Kloss, in this writers opinion has always given off a real sense of grace and class as to how she carries herself. It can be said that as a high profile fashion model, several opportunity’s were most likely presented to her a little easier than the average person, but in saying that all side projects take dedication and this girl works hard.
All aspects of her brand be it her Youtube channel, her Instagram, snapchat, Tv show or the other things she takes on are consistent, well made and presented by someone who seems genuinely nice and interested in the world.
I for one, am excited to see what she does next!
