Self-described as a "six foot two giraffe from the Lou" Karlie Kloss is more than meets the eye. You probably recognize her from her many campaigns that range from Swarovski to Adidas and her status in Taylor Swift's Girl Squad, but she does so many more things you may not know about. Besides her stunning looks and famous friends, here are 5 more reasons to love Karlie Kloss.
1. She started a summer camp for girls to learn to code.
In 2016, the Kode with Klossy Camp Scholarship provided 60 girls ages 13-18 from across the country the opportunity to learn to code and build apps using professional software engineering tools. She also has a Kode with Klossy Career Scholarship that is given to one woman each month to work through Flatiron School’s online Full Stack Web Development curriculum.
2. She bakes Kookies for charity.
In 2012, Karlie collaborated with chef Christina Tosi and Monofuku Milk Bar to create Karlie’s Kookies, which have since been rebranded to Klossies. The cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Basically, the healthiest cookies to exist. Not only are they delicious, but the proceeds from each tin of cookies sold supports a different charity. The Perfect 10 Kookies provide 10 school lunches to hungry children around the world, the Coco supports young American fashion designers, and the 5boro provides 5 meals to hungry New Yorkers.
3. She goes to college.
In 2015, at the end of her contract, Karlie left her as role an Angel at Victoria's Secret to free up time to go to school. Karlie is currently enrolled in the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University.
4. She is #fitnessgoals.
Whether it be kickboxing, running, yoga, or dance class with Taylor Swift, Karlie is always good for a #fitnessfriday Instagram post and #fitnessfriYAY Snapchats. Seeing her workout posts inspire you to switch up your own workout routine and try something new.
5. She makes it all look easy.
If you follow Karlie on Snapchat you know she is always on the move. Her extremely successful modeling career takes her all over the world, in addition, she runs 2 scholarship programs, bakes, works out daily, makes YouTube videos for her channel "Klossy", and goes to college. If only we could all-time manage as well as Karlie. #LikeAKloss
