Where’s Karlie?

Fashion, technology and travel all converge on New York's favourite model

11 September 2014

If you’ve ever wanted to travel the world with a supermodel, now’s your chance!

Vogue magazine teamed up with 3D printing innovators Direct Dimensions and Shapeways to create miniature versions of Karlie Kloss, styled in several designer looks. What does one do with 50 tiny chic Klosses? You send them on a world tour, that’s what. In 80 days, these adorable dolls clocked more than 175 000 kilometres!

We aren’t entirely sure why they did it, but we’re glad they did, and we’re even happier that it’s all been kindly documented for the rest of us on Instagram by the fashion photographers who received the figurines – these pictures are absolutely darling!
