"This young American's show roster may not be as impressive as some of her peers who we've reported on. However, I have her at number one as I truly believe she is the stand-alone star of the season. Her ethereal beauty and strength draw the best qualities of Kasia Struss, Irina Kulikova, and a host of others into one striking, gorgeous face. Karlie is breathtaking in the flesh and certainly her beauty will take to film extremely well. Soon we'll see proof of that, with an upcoming Teen Vogue cover by Patrick Demarchelier; Spring campaigns for Pringle by Steven Meisel and Nina Ricci by Mario Sorrenti; and Italian Vogue stories by both Steven Meisel and Mario Sorrenti. And the name—it just rolls off the tongue, which is always a mark of a legend in the making."
