Who says you have to pick between brains and beauty? Karlie Kloss has both!
The in-demand, top-paid model is taking a break from the runway. She’s enrolled in a course at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, a small interdisciplinary college within New York University that was founded in 1972 as the University Without Walls.

The paparazzi caught Karlie hailing a cab and heading to her first day at NYU.
For the occasion, Karlie dressed like a typical student. She threw on a black sweater and a pair of cuffed Frame “Le Petit Ami” relaxed jeans.
Like any ordinary student, Karlie completed her look with a backpack. Her pick? A leather piece from Mansur Gavriel.
