Karlie’s New Kut

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show happened last night (it airs on CBS on December 4th), and the call time for models, hair, and makeup was 9 AM. For a 7 PM show. That’s ten hours of hair, makeup, and spray tanning. But somewhere between makeup (typical glowy gorgeousness courtesy of Tom Pecheux) and hair (“beachy, tousled, undone” waves by Orlando Pita), runway veteran and burgeoning Kookie entrepreneur Karlie Kloss popped out of her makeup chair to tell us about something near and dear to our hearts: a new ‘do.

“I think a woman’s confidence is in her hair. It’s true! When you change your hair, everything sort of changes. It affects the way you act, the way you dress…your hair is a very very influential part of your style. And a woman with a great haircut can wear a paper bag and look amazing. Garren cut it on Monday for a Vogue story, at Patrick [Demarchelier’s] studio. He took off about eight inches. My hair has always been very thin, very fine—very boring, actually, and it was so broken and damaged from the last five years of working. It was really just kind of nothing. It could be turned in to a long, glamorous thing with extensions, or you could add a fringe, but on its own, it had no style. And no texture, either. Also, the thing is, for me, as a model, having the plain, stereotypical model hair, you’re a blank canvas, which allows you to transform—to become a character—whereas when you have a hairstyle, you’re individualized. And this cut, just by itself, is such a style. I love it; I feel like I’m changing... I don’t know, I’m finding who I am. I’m twenty years old, I’m entering a new phase of my life; I bought a house! I sign the papers tomorrow. There’s a lot of change happening in my life right now. It’s a new haircut for a new decade.”

And how would she describe this cut? We mentioned Michelle Pfieffer in Scarface; she said she’s channeling Jane Birkin. Above all, though, “It’s…it’s…‘the Karlie.’ It’s the Karlie! [Laughs] I want women to someday go in to the hair salon and say, ‘I want the Karlie.’”

At this point, Tom Pecheux passed by and purred, “She looks divine! I love it,” giving her a squeeze. “Can I say something?” he continued. “If you were stupid, it would not look good.”

Kloss’ eyes widened. “I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not!” she laughed. Chalk it up to the language barrier (Pecheux is as French as they come), but if smart equals confident, then he is 100% right.

10.09.12  / As Told To ITG
Quote-Unquote: Karlie Kloss

Because good advice never goes bad (and because we're always looking for a good makeup remover).

"Julien d’Ys told me about Pond’s—good old Pond’s Cold Cream; he said it’s the best to get makeup off and he’s right. After a show when I have tons of thick mascara and piled-on stuff, I just slap on a big dollop of this—it’s a démaquillant and cream all in one. All the girls in the old days—all the supermodels—this is what they carried around. It’s the old-school cheap trick." — Karlie Kloss' Top Shelf (11/15/10)

Karlie’s Kookies

Karlie's Kookies are not a Kardashian brand extension but rather a collaboration between model Karlie Kloss and a pastry chef by the name of Christina Tosi (of Momofuku Milk Bar, purveyor of cereal-milk ice cream and a nasty-good Crack Pie). Their oatmeal-chocolate-chip lovechild, the first Kookie called the "Perfect 10," debuted last night during Fashion's Night Out...

And I'm here to tell you that they're incredible. I just housed the melted sample that Kloss slipped Emily backstage at Jason Wu, and we're talking, like, the best gluten-free, dairy-free, agave-sweetened cookie I've ever had. (I did the gluten-free thing for over a year and have eaten my weight in this kind of stuff.) You wouldn't think a model would have it in her to make a tasty treat, and you, like me, would be wrong. It's a soft, chewy mix of mini chocolate chips and gluten-free oats, with slivers of roasted almonds, making for a nice crunch/chew pattern. But I'm not just bragging about eating an awesome cookie that no one else can get their paws on—it seems like Kloss is trying to spin this into a business. She told us that, along with shooting the new MTV "House of Style" with fellow IMG-er Joan Smalls, she's developing Kookies as a "pet project." (Some of the proceeds are going to FEED.) At the moment, she's on the hunt for willing retailers—the dream is Whole Foods. (Any readers have an in?) "I'm taking down the Keebler elves!" she promised. "I'm taking 'em down!" Elves, she's a lot taller than you, and her cookies are the bomb, so consider yourselves warned.
