Karlie Kloss, Arizona Muse, Joan Smalls, and Liu Wen

“We’re kind of a motley crew,” says Karlie Kloss, the first (and most certainly the last) person to refer to these superstar supermodels in such ragtag terms. But in a way, the model with legs long enough to stretch across the time-and-space continuum is right. Not because these women could appear anything other than glorious but because they each evoke a different idea of beauty, be it commanding (Kloss), lyrical (Wen), serene (Muse), or strong (Smalls). If there’s one thing they have in common, says Smalls, it’s this: “We’re a new generation that’s not only about looks. We’re very hardworking and see what we do as a business.”
