Karlie Kloss rates Christy Turlington a true beauty

Top model Karlie Kloss says that Christy Turlington, the original supermodel, represents the true idea of ultimate beauty. 

 

She told vogue.co.uk: "Christy Turlington is my absolute role model. She is the definition of true beauty inside and out."

 

20-years-old Karlie - who was scouted in 2005 at a charity fashion show in her hometown, St Louis in Missouri - has worked with some of the world's most famous brands, including Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs but she says a lot of thought goes into who she should model for.

 

She said: "I work strategically with my management team to make all decisions. I am very lucky to be surrounded and guided by an incredible support team comprised of my family and agents."

 

Karlie also says she believes she's successful because she's so tall, saying: "Because I'm so tall, clothes look different on me than they do on others I am 6ft 1in so I tend to stand out in a crowd and on the runway - quite literally."
