Karlie Kloss Creates Jeans for 'Freakishly' Tall Women

Karlie Kloss has not jumped on the collaboration/design bandwagon. She has teamed up with FRAME Denim friends, Jens Grede and Erik Torstensson, to create Forever Karlie line out of necessity. At 6'1", she has always struggled to find jeans long enough. So she created her own! Two styles in fact: flared and skinny in light and dark washes both with 40-inch inseams. Even Kloss herself has to roll them up!

"I'm freakishly tall, so finding pants that fit is something I've struggled with my whole life," the gazelle-like beauty told Vogue. "My secret to pulling off too-short jeans has always been to pair them with boots . . . and I really rocked the flood-pant trend for as long as I could!"

"It wasn't until I started modeling at fifteen that I even realized what well-fitting clothes felt like, she said. "I'm by no means a qualified designer, but through work I've learned how clothing should fit and ultimately, how it should feel," she says.

Besides the extra long length, the other must have in Kloss' design is a slightly raised waistband: "There's nothing worse than a pair of jeans that leaves you feeling exposed when you bend down!"

Forever Karlie will be available from the first week of June. "We're just friends who got together and did this for fun," says Grede. "I'm convinced there are other tall women out there who can't find jeans that fit, but if nothing else, we've made the perfect ones for Karlie. She's set for life!"
