AMERICANA’S SILENT FALL: Long Island’s Americana Manhasset looked to “The Artist” for its fall catalogue, “Speechless,” an homage to black-and-white silent movies. The catalogue comes out in mid-August, when a short silent film, “Speechless,” and a behind-the scenes, silent look at the making of the book will be posted on Americana’s Web site. The “Speechless” film will also air on Taxi TV during fashion week. The Americana even hired four-legged star Uggie, the scene-stealing Jack Russell terrier who appears in “The Artist.”

Charles DeCaro, creative director of ad agency Laspata DeCaro, was smitten by the canine. “It’s as if he’s actually acting,” he said. “He has this sense of timing. He gets it. He’s really a star.” Karlie Kloss plays the ingenue and Clément Chabernaud is her costar. Each image has its own narrative, such as the one with Kloss, wearing a Burberry Prorsum coat, walking through a soundstage where “extras” dressed as Keystone Kops, Charlie Chaplin and Tom Mix play cards and read the newspaper. On a studio back lot, Kloss, in a St. John flapper dress, holds out an imaginary treat to a primed Uggie, and under the heat of spotlights, Kloss, wearing a beaded and fringed dress and cloche, kicks up her Jimmy Choos and does the Charleston.

Americana Manhasset chose the catalogue’s theme based on the fall collections, many of which “harkened to the past in some way, especially the Twenties and Thirties, but with a modern twist,” said Andrea Sanders, senior vice president and creative director. The catalogue was shot at Paramount Studios and several private homes in Los Angeles.

Absolutely STUNNING :wub: So often I see candids of Karlie like this one:

Toni Garrn's twitter

and I just find her face to be annoying, but when I see her editorial work. She is amazing! I think she should stick to HF because I really can't find the appeal of her within VS, but at the same time...a lot of people think opposite of me and loved her at the VSFS and love her work for VS Pink.

When somebody recognizes

me, I’m always a little shocked—

like, Wait, really?” Karlie Kloss says.

“Hang on…me?” But the girl, it

must be said, is noticeable, waving

animatedly from a stool at One

Lucky Duck, a raw-food shop in

Manhattan’s Chelsea Market, all six

feet one inch of her unfolding like

an elongated, enchanting

dragonfly.

Kloss and Joan Smalls

have spent the day across the

street being photographed by

Steven Meisel, and you get the

feeling that the two cover models,

who together represent the new

face of fashion, may just have to

get used to being recognized.

Marc Jacobs has named a bag for

Kloss. Smalls’s feline frame was

immortalized in this year’s Pirelli

calendar and in yellow jeans on a

giant Calvin Klein billboard above

Manhattan’s Houston Street.

These are the signs of certified

critical-mass appeal, and yet to

each, in her own way, it’s all still

somehow unexpected.

“Let’s be honest,” says Kloss. “I

think it’s the fact that I’m eight

inches above the average person

walking down the street. I’m

somewhat in my own cloud.” At 19,

she already knows how to be

disarmingly self-deprecating, but

yes, let’s be honest, it’s not just her

meteorological height that attracts

attention. Kloss also happens to

have the face of a fairy, with a

small constellation of freckles on

her right cheek, and the kinetic

effervescence of a sprite.

When Kloss was growing up in St.

Louis, the discipline of ballet

training provided a positive charge

for her lightning-bolt limbs. “You

learn to control every aspect of

your muscles, your face, your toes,

your fingernails,” she says. “And

that is how you tell a story,

through movement.” Her first

shoot in New York, at 14, was with

Arthur Elgort, who photographed

her doing a split on a ballet bar.

She might look like a living line

drawing—one encased in custom-

made 3x1 pants, the first jeans

she’s ever had that actually touch

the ground—but it took Kloss a

long time to “own it,” she says. “My

sisters have always been these

gorgeous glamazons, and I’m, like,

this tall skinny stick in the family.

And I still am the tall girl, even on

the runways.

Every time I see Karl

Lagerfeld, he’s always, like”—she

puts on a German accent—“ ‘Karlie,

have you stopped growing yet? Are

you taller?’ ” She laughs loudly. “It

used to be something that I really

disliked about myself, being tall

and lanky, but it turned out to be

the greatest asset I have—how

uniquely weird I am.”
