Karlie Kloss

Target and Neiman Marcus have revealed that Karlie Kloss will be the face of the upcoming CFDA Holiday collaboration. According to a spokesperson, the multimedia campaign will be quite "robust" and will span online, print, out of home, TV, and social media, and required Kloss — who was classically trained in ballet — to do a lot of movement. "Her background and familiarity with movement and dance are perfect," the source said.

Kloss isn't the only big name to be involved with the campaign. Quentin Jones — known for his work with Chanel and Victoria Beckham — also worked on the ads, as did photographer Craig McDean, who was responsible for both the still and moving images. Alex White, former fashion director of W, styled the ads, while Orlando Pita was tapped to do hair. "Our goal is to match the unprecedented nature of the collaboration and incredible product being produced to a campaign supporting it," the spokesperson explained. "What's most important is the talent we're putting behind this campaign."

Supermodel Karlie Kloss might be busy conquering the world one fashion magazine cover at a time, but that didn't stop the jet-setting American beauty from chatting with us at the Summer of Doing celebrity volunteer event in New York City earlier this week. "I had breakfast in Paris, lunch in London, and dinner in New York," said Kloss. "So I'm a little jet-lagged today." While helping restore a mosaic wall at the Jacob H. Schiff playground, Karlie took time out to talk about her most memorable modeling moment(s), traveling with her family, and who she looks up to in the industry. "Someone I really look up to is Cindy Crawford," said Kloss. "She really represents the picture of health. It's all about nutrition and fitness and just living a healthy, balanced lifestyle." Read what else she had to say below:

• On shopping while traveling: I brought my sisters back a few souvenirs, but nothing for me. I never get anything for me. I have three sisters, so my suitcase is full with presents for everybody else!
• On the most memorable thing she has gotten for herself: I like to pack light—I like to collect little charms everywhere I go, so something small to trigger the memory of all the special trips I get to take.

Read what Karlie has to say about her most memorable modeling moment, Summer essentials, and more.
