Replacing the Angel of Victoria's Secret Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Animale brings to his show, which opens the SPFW Summer 2014 on Monday, the top American Karlie Kloss, considered a "veteran fashion" despite her 20 years .

Hyper friendly, relaxed and beautiful, Karlie Kloss spoke with FFW few hours before going to the event. Karlie talked about his career, his goals and the use of his name as a platform to support projects that her believe. Check out the full interview below:

Not your first time in Brazil, but had been in São Paulo?

I was in Rio a year ago photographing the Pirelli calendar, and also Bahia a year ago in a shooting with Mario Testino for "Vogue" American. I stayed there for a week and was in heaven! But in São Paulo is the first time. I arrived last night, so have not seen much, but even though it is raining, I can see the view from here and I see that the city is so big, it's shocking. I'll stay here for five days, I hope to explore the city well. I want to go dancing samba! (Laughs)

How is it for you to be part of the SPFW?

I wanted to be part of the SPFW long because there was always a lot of excitement about the fashion industry in Brazil, and has many talents that come here, so many talented designers with whom I work, and Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein, which was a the first who supported me, was one of the first shows I did. When Animale called me to be part of the casting, I was delighted.

You were discovered at a charity event. Do you feel that your mission is to lend his name to projects you believe?

Absolutely. For me, one of the motivations to make a career and build my name is able to build a platform that serves to spread the message of projects or organizations. It is important to give something back to the world is a passion that I always had. My cookies, for example, are a way to give back what I get. [The Karlie's cookies are famous]

Ah ... we want the recipe of cookies.

Sure, it was I who created! It's vegan, mega healthy: no butter, no eggs, no sugar, no milk or anything dairy. I am very healthy and active, I have always been very attentive to my health. But I love sweets and I love making cakes! Then alternate some of the ingredients such as, for example, almond flour instead of white flour, olive oil instead of butter and whole grains and agave [plants which replace sugar] instead of sugar, and bitter chocolate sprinkles. It's super easy, and it was something that I did for a cause.

What was the job you think catapulted your career?

A year ago I made the cover of "Vogue" Italy, photographed by Steven Meisel, and I think that was a great job for me. The cover of any magazine is a dream, but for me, the cover of "Vogue" Italian was something I always wanted to do.

What advice would give to young people who want to pursue a modeling career?

I want that I'm creating this platform will serve not only to support causes I believe in, but to have a voice to speak to the other girls. I want to be able to make them believe that they can follow their dreams, believe in themselves and find confidence within them to feel beautiful and good in your own skin. While girl, this is one of the strongest things against which we struggle, self-confidence, you always have so many insecurities while growing. I had! I was taller than all the boys and girls in my class and it was horrible! We all have our difficulties and the great struggle is to learn to overcome it. Learning to use our insecurities to make us stronger. My point was what I hated most when I was younger and it was something that I learned to appreciate and use to jump today!

It was always her dream to be a model?

Nothing! I was a dancer, ballet was (and still is) my passion. I thought about studying medicine, my father is a doctor so it was something that I thought to do, but be a model? Never.

Who do you admire?

In fashion, I'm a fan of Christy Turlington, I think she is super elegant and graceful and is someone I admire very much, because she is involved with charities too. Also I admire Cindy Crawford because she is a businesswoman magnificent and very intelligent. She managed to build a brand with her name.

You have 20 years and seems to have done it all! What remains to Karlie Kloss do?

So much! This is only the beginning. I'm only 20, but feel like I have a thousand! (Laughs) There's still so much I want to do in the industry and out of fashion in my career. I want to continue to grow and build this platform that gives me voice, turn my name into a brand, like Cindy Crawford has done, but also love to go back to school. There's so much I want to learn! Maybe even act ... I do not know, is many things. (Laughs) I want to travel the world, meet many places. That's the best part of my job, being able to travel. Look where I am now, in São Paulo. Life is good! (Laughs)

You and other models are super active on Instagram and other social networks. How is the relationship with followers?

I find great because it makes us more accessible. The world in which we live in today is full of celebrity culture and gossip magazines, blogs, TV, Twitter and Instagram, how the internet works and how the world absorbs the media is very instant. People are fascinated by celebrities or actors they admire and do not realize that they are real people. While model, I'm just a normal person. And I want the world and the other girls know it, I'm just a girl, and that does not mean we can not do great things.

Her i-D cover is soooo good. She looks radiant and lovely. Hopefully the local Barnes & Noble has her cover because it's the only one I like out of the 3.
 
Brazilian fashion is so exciting, sexy and identifiable. Karlie looks good wearing it.
 
It's really nice to see her somewhere than the usual FW cities. And I must say that she looks great there. The first outfit suits her very well. And I'm finally feeling the short hair lately.
 
So many many many many news articles about her in internet! :p
