Karlie Kloss has worked with the best fashion designers in the world, but she still remembers those who carved the trail ahead of her.
The 23-year-old stunner managed to stop traffic as she paid homage to original supermodel Cindy Crawford while stepping out in New York City on Thursday.
Karlie was casually clad in faded jeans matched with a cosy black sweatshirt that boasted her idol's name in big, boldly white, capital letters.

The blonde beauty appeared to be running some errands but her message was loud and clear: Cindy is the coolest.

The model is believed to be enrolled in an Independent Study course at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualised Study.
Express-ing herself: Karlie still has a few modeling gigs going including her campaign for Express; she was seen participating in a photoshoot for the fashion company earlier on Thursday
In her most recent YouTube video, the model talked about how she overcame shyness with the help of ballet, and admitted she was nervous about starting school.
'I'm really nervous about... the first day going back to school,' Karlie confessed. 'I'll be taking classes at NYU in the fall. So all I can do is know that when I get to school, that day, I'm gonna do the best I can to just focus and prepare leading up to it, and it's gonna be fine. I'll take it one day at a time.'
Karlie managed to get in some fun time at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards before hitting the books.
She joined her BFF Taylor Swift on stage as the entertainer picked up the Video Of The Year award for Bad Blood.
