Karlie Kloss reveals why she's determined to make coding cool for girls

Karlie Kloss has again shown why she's one of the world's top models.

The blonde beauty, 23, was the picture of relaxed glamour as she flashed her long legs in a cover shoot for FLARE magazine's September issue.

The Victoria Secret model opened up about her unique runway walk and discussed her surprising love of coding while modeling the new Joe X FLARE range, a collaboration between the magazine and the Canadian label.

The Detroit-native is known in fashion circles for her distinctive 'moody' runway walk.

She told the magazine that while strutting her stuff she tries to 'focus on the woman I’m embodying.

'At an Oscar de la Renta show, I think about elegance; at Alexander Wang, it’s all about attitude and independence,' she said.

The 23-year-old showed off her toned legs in nothing but an over-sized, grey funnel-neck sweater in one sexy photo.

In another artistic black-and-white image, Kloss donned a geometric print shift dress and pushed her blonde hair back behind one ear while giving a smoldering look to the camera

Kloss also shot two covers for the August issue. In the first cover image, she wears an unbuttoned white blouse, slim necklace and flared jeans.

Gracing the second cover, she wears a dark grey cardigan as a dress and throws a classy coat over her shoulders.

The beauty told FLARE she has recently enrolled at New York University, and is having fun picking out her courses.

And she shared her love of a surprising hobby - coding.

'It’s always fascinated me, but it’s not a subject I was taught in school,' she said of her programming passion.

'So last year, I decided to take a coding crash course and I ended up LOVING it.'

The model now encourages other women and girls to take up coding, and even donated $20,000 to New York's Flatiron School for a scholarship to encourage women to code.

The model took the course last year and wants other women to follow in her footsteps.

'There’s a big misconception that coding is strictly mathematical; it’s actually incredibly creative,' she told FLARE.

'Code runs everything around us, and young women are so important to defining the future.'

The model, who counts singer Taylor Swift as a close pal, credited her friends and family for helping her stay grounded.

When asked what the key to having a long modelling career was, Kloss picked balance as the key.

'Being able to find a balance between your career, outside interests and personal life,' she said.

'My family’s support keeps me going and taking time off to spend with them is what has allowed me to stay driven.'

Yesterday, Swift posted a happy birthday message to Kloss, sharing a sweet snap of the model cooking with Swift's boyfriend Calvin Harris.

'Some of my best memories have been with this girl, laughing in the kitchen. Happy Birthday to the ray of light that is @karliekloss,' wrote the singer.
