Love this ed actually. Like VS never happened in her career and she doesn't look heavy for once. Well done!

This is such a weird thing to say.

KK truly used to be one of my favorite models at the time — the perfect crossover between high fashion and Victoria's Secret, with a great personality, unique look, etc. Until her VS contract signed in 2005, she was very well admired by designers as well: opening/closing for Dior, Versace, Chanel, Valentino, and many more. I think her work for VS truly made her an icon though — many iconic walks over the years and fame across the world. However, after 2005, I noticed her high fashion bookings almost went to zero, and she never had a proper HF revival, maybe except for 2011. Especially since a lot of '90s and '00s icons are returning to the fashion scene to revive the glory of the past, I wonder why Karolina is so absent from that whole slice of the cake. It seems like she couldn’t maintain close relationships with any big photographers, editors, or designers, which is very sad and not very understandable. Even VS is not trying to bring her back, which is shocking because she was a star during the brand’s peak. I don’t think it’s just that she wants to focus on her family, because she has been working a lot for smaller magazines over the past decade and even recently changed her agency for a bigger comeback — yet nothing serious has come from that either. What do you guys think?
