Close participated in the New York Fashion Week, which was her first major gig, and since then she started calling this biggest fashion event in the industry as ‘New York Fashion Month’. To her, after the first week, she got on the plane and repeated the ordeal in London, Paris and Milan.

It was at the Calvin Klein shoot that she found her favorite moment in her career.
Biography
Kelsey Close graduated from Dimond in Anchorage, Alaska. After her freshman year, Kelsey was balancing the modeling school work and the debate team.

In an interview, Kelsey revealed that she never really wanted to be a model and did not think she would make it. But she has, and Close is currently living in New York and works with Major.
