Modeling

When Kass was 14 years old, she was discovered in a supermarket by a model scout from Milan. Her first venture into the modeling world was unsuccessful, and Kass left Milan after a short time.

Kass then moved to Paris at the age of eighteen. She soon received exposure by appearing on the covers of American, French, British, and Italian Vogue, Australian Elle, UK Image, Madame Figaro, and French Numéro.^[6] Kass's first Vogue cover was French Vogue in November 1997.

Her career was launched by Anna Wintour,^[7] and by 1999, Kass was walking the runway for numerous and diverse top designers, such as Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, and Dolce & Gabbana; and posing in advertisements for designers and brands, like Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci, Donna Karan, Dsquared2, Versace, Givenchy, Fendi, Max Mara, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Narciso Rodriguez, and even General Motors.^[8] She also appeared in a Gap denim advertising campaign, and was a spokesperson for Revlon cosmetics, Sephora, and the Christian Dior perfume, J'adore. In 2007 alone, Kass booked ten campaigns with notable designers for Spring/Summer collections. From 2007 onwards, she became the model and spokesperson for Max Factor.^[9]^[10]

Kass was named "Model of the Year" at the 2000 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards.^[15] In the year 2002, she was estimated to have been the second-highest-paid model in the world.^[16] She is well-known for her distinctive runway walk in the fashion industry. Despite her height, her feet are relatively small (about an American size seven).^[17]

She opened and closed the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 1999, and also walked for the brand in 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2008.^[18]^[19]

Politics

In February 2004, she joined Estonia's ruling Res Publica Party.^[22] Kass ran for the European Parliament after her homeland joined the European Union in May 2004.^[23] She received 2,315 votes and was not elected.^[24]

Chess

Kass is a keen chess player.^[25] She was elected president of the Estonian Chess Federation for 8 consecutive years and currently serves as a councillor.^[26] She ran a campaign for Tallinn to host the 2008 Chess Olympics; however, Dresden, Germany was chosen instead.^[27]
