Karlie Kloss: Supermodel, who is also a Programmer, Breaks the Mould!
She managed to astonish the whole world. The star of luxury catwalks became recently a widely talked-about phenomenon.
She was born in 1992 in Chicago. She started to model when she was 13 years old and she´s been professionally working very hard ever since. She is well known for her cooperation with luxury brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta and Versace. At present she is the face for example of Carolina Herrera, Adidas and Swarovski. In 2014, Karlie was appointed Global Ambassador for L'Oreal Paris and in 2016 in the TIME magazine she was ranked among 100 most influential people.
In addition to passion of fashion and modelling she also promotes vegan diet by creating her own vegan, gluten-free biscuits. She has her own youtube channel called Klossy, where she shares her experiences and stories.
Coding with Klossy
Coding with Klossy is a project which allows girls to learn to encode and become leaders in technology. The model founded the project in 2015, when she herself began to learn to encode. Very quickly, she learned not just the basics of Ruby, but also other programming languages.
Coding with Klossy represents two-year summer camps organised for girls aged 13-18 years. Karlie seeks to promote national community by giving opportunities to girls to develop in the field of technology. The objective of the programme is to provide women in the field of computer science and engineering disciplines with practical learning opportunities, where the beginnings are the worst. She also breaks the mould by proving that models are not so capable much to affect the predominantly male domain.
