Karlie Kloss Reveals the Secret to a Long Modeling Career (Exclusive)

Karlie Kloss rocks her new Joe Fresh x FLARE clothes on the cover of Flare magazine’s September 2015 issue, provided exclusively to JustJared.com.

Here’s what the 23-year-old model had to share with the mag:

On what she thinks about when she walks a runway: “I focus on the woman I’m embodying. At an Oscar de la Renta show, I think about elegance; at Alexander Wang, it’s all about attitude and independence.”

On her secret to a long modeling career: “Being able to find a balance between your career, outside interests and personal life. My family’s support keeps me going and taking time off to spend with them is what has allowed me to stay driven.”

On her passion for coding: “It’s always fascinated me, but it’s not a subject I was taught in school. So last year, I decided to take a coding crash course I ended up LOVING it. There’s a big misconception that coding is strictly mathematical; it’s actually incredibly creative. Code runs everything around us, and young women are so important to defining the future.”
