Karlie Kloss, ocean beauty (video)

With wet hair framing a classic look of red lips and blushing cheeks, Karlie Kloss is the undisputed queen of modern mermaids. If you doubted that the under-the-sea theme was a conscious inspiration driving Karlie’s look for Vogue Australia, you need only watch the behind the scenes video of the shoot (you can see it after the break). One dress has the none-too-subtle symbolism of azure blue water teeming with schools of printed fish. Other outfits are more to the retro-chic side. All, from what we can tell, are gorgeous.

Here’s a preview of Karlie’s cover for the March 2012 issue of Vogue Australia; with the video of her shoot with Kai Z Feng available after the break.
