Karlie Kloss - The supermodel of the moment, Karlie's stardom was cemented with her special cover of Life magazine and her transition to grown-ass woman cemented by her nude spread shot by Mario Testino.

Lara Stone - If Karlie is the super of today, Lara is the icon of tomorrow, as well as Calvin Klein's sole star for the past few seasons and an editorial fave.
