Dumb Model Poses

Welcome to another mind-numbing edition of Dumb Model Poses, starring fashion's latest flavor-of-the-month, Karlie Kloss! But just who is Karlie Kloss, and how did she seem to appear out of nowhere to suddenly be everywhere? One explanation might be that she was born in 1992 and is barely 17 years old; to us, she's just a high school kid but to the fashion industry, she is in her prime. In addition, she is 5'11" with that androgynous, impossibly thin physique that the designers and fashion magazines can't get enough of. It's only natural, then, that Vogue would eventually latch on and introduce her to their perpetually miserable editorial styling, and the tired pose that her predecessor, Caroline Trentini, made famous: The Model in Midair.

Karlie does manage to add her own flavor by adding in a horribly vacant facial expression and so much deadness in her eyes that it's almost chilling (Click on the image to enlarge). And that hideous Prada skirt she's wearing? It's $1460. The top? $650. For over two grand I'd like to think she'd put a little more effort into selling the look, rather than just hanging there in midair while the clothes wear her instead of the other way around.
