Top Karlie Kloss Nude for Vogue

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/12/02/article-0-0F0783E800000578-715_634x807.jpg

Modelling phenomenon Karlie Kloss, 19, has certainly made a splash in the industry this year - shooting a topless editorial for Allure magazine in September before hitting the Victoria's Secret runway for the first time last week. However, Kloss has turned up the heat once again and appears in a nude photo shoot for Italian Vogue, according to the Huffington Post.


Shot by Steven Meisel, the shoot sees Karlie in numerous sensual poses, wearing nothing but white stiletto heels in one particular shot - she also features on the cover of the magazine, wearing a beige cut-out dress. The 19-year-old has made such an impression on the industry that Vogue Italia have labelled her "The (new) Body" - a nickname formerly attached to the Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson. While aged 18 and still at high school in Missouri, Kloss was already featuring prominently in campaigns for Prada and Dior. She is currently ranked No. 4 in models.com's Top 50 Models in the world, behind Natasha Poly, Freja Beha Erichsen, Anja Rubik and Lara Stone - the wife of British comedian David Walliams.

I like how the light emphasizes her musculature. Good job Steven!

This's her second nude fashion shoot & I was absolutely BAFFLED that people were going "OMG they're posting nudes of a YOUNG TEEN" (there was an actual headline almost like that) as if it's some major deal that a NINETEEN YEAR OLD is naked.  Tempest in a teapot, really.

However, THIS is much more interesting http://fashionista.com/2011/12/why-did- … oss-image/.  This image:

has been pulled because she looks so freakishly thin.  There're accusations of over-photoshopping, her having an eating disorder, etc.

She IS freakishly thin for her height. Isn't that an industry prerequisite to be a fashion/runway model? As to all the hoopla regarding her shooting nudes at 19? Ho hum, big deal. We're not talking about Mylie Cyrus shooting underaged implieds with Annie Leibowitz here.

EXACTLY... and even the Miley Cyrus thing was overblown, a pic of a 16/17 yo showing less than she does at the beach is hardly "child pornography," so it's REALLY disturbing to see that the hysteria has reached beyond that to photos of a NINETEEN YEAR OLD being cast as such.

She is beautiful, strong and professional.

It's a measure of the immaturity of our society that people can get all huffy about her and the pictures of her.

Immaturity or just another example of the Puritan/Fundamentalist Morality that's so prevalent and rammed down our proverbial throats? Good Gawd, they laugh their asses off in Europe as to what gets our collective shorts in a wad here in the US! While living in England, I used to look at topless images of models while I was sipping my morning coffee and viewing the Page 3 Girls displayed in my daily mainstream newspaper.

It's fine and dandy for us to regularly view images of murder, war, and gore in our newspapers and television programming as violence is American as Apple Pie, but the masses will go totally batsh*t when there's a wardrobe malfunction and we view a tit for .2 of a second during the Super Bowl, eh? Land of the free and home of the brave? uh huh, sure!

Here's a FANTASTIC reply from the EiC at Vogue Italia about the whole "controversy," how ridiculous it is, and why they removed the image.

No, it was an image where she looked "freakishly skinny."  It's in the article & has been linked in the thread.

Interesting video.  Wonderful to watch her hit poses (and hold them) that most models couldn't hit in their dreams!
