Karlie Kloss Is Leaving Victoria's Secret! (PEOPLE Exclusive)

02/20/2015 at 01:30 PM ET

It seems like model Karlie Kloss has been everywhere recently (and not just in bestie Taylor Swift‘s Instagram feed): she walks in countless fashion shows, books so many ad campaigns we’re losing count, and she took home PEOPLE’s Model of the Year award in 2014. And now, after walking in four Victoria’s Secret fashion shows (since 2011!) and working as an official Angel since early 2013, she is leaving Victoria’s Secret.

“Karlie is stepping down from her Angel duties,” a source close to the 22-year-old tells PEOPLE. “She’s got a busy but exciting year ahead and the decision came down to timing. She’ll be focusing on her modeling career, new business opportunities and NYU starting in the fall.”

Yes, you read that right, she’ll officially be a supermodel and a scholar. The news that she’d be attending NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study broke this week in Vogue‘s March issue (she shares cover real estate with pal Taylor Swift).

Apparently, NYU alum Christy Turlington Burns wrote Kloss a letter of recommendation, and she got in. Continuing her education is “something that I’ve wanted to do for a very long time,” she said in the Vogue interview. But you’ll still see her on the runway and as the face of standout brands like Kate Spade New York and L’Oréal Paris. “I’ll still be working full-time,” she said. “I’m incredibly ambitious and have lots of goals within my career that I’m not slowing down on anytime soon.”

Kloss will undoubtedly look back at her time with the iconic lingerie brand fondly. “She’s loved working with Victoria’s Secret and appreciates all the amazing opportunities the brand has given her to grow as a model,” says the source. “She’s adored working with everyone on the Victoria’s Secret team and all her fellow Angels.”

When reached for comment, a rep for Victoria’s Secret says that Kloss continues to be an Angel.

Yep Karlie is leaving VS, just confirmed by Ed Razek:

Karlie Kloss @karliekloss I met several months ago to discuss the many things she hoped to do in her life and career. As we talked, it became clear she would not have the time to fulfill her myriad commitments. Reluctantly, we agreed she would leave the brand at the end of her contract. Karlie is one of a kind, a very close friend, someone I truly admire and love. She is, without question, one of the best models ever. But she is an even better person. Her future is unlimited, and I am excited to see all the good she will do. Karlie Kloss will always be an Angel to me.

i am really disappointed to read that she's leaving VS.

i thought she was blossoming into such a wonderful fit for the brand. and it was giving her a ton of exposure for a while, too. i had hoped to see her manage both her fashion work and VS for a few more years. really sad to see her go.

hopefully she will continue to do the VSFS. she's such a star there!
 
Yap so sad to read news about her VS status.

Wow, she closed all the show she was in except for the Jason Wu.

Hope she will be in Milan.
 
Yeah, she was great at VS but I love the fact that she's going to NYU! Makes me admire her even more! At this point, Karlie is an established supermodel and she is very much able to pursue more things she's passionate about without her modeling career suffering. What an absolute star at Tom Ford! Go Karlie!! :clap:
 
Totally agree that school > VS or modeling in general

I don't think it's a big loss for her at all. She's still in high demand in high fashion and she's got so many other projects. Plus I think that even though her stay was short, she still managed to reach "celebrity" status. Kind of like Gisele, she got the exposure she needed and then left before things got boring. So I guess she's still got medical school in mind?
