We love love no matter what shape or form it takes, so in anticipation of the big day on February 14, we called on some of our favorite power couples around the city. Are you also feeling amorous? Shop our Valentine's Day Gift guide for MEN and WOMEN.
With fluffy, Nemo snowflakes falling from the sky and all the pretty girls running around the city, love is certainly in the air in New York City. Derek, of course, has the dream girl thing on lockdown: he sent Karlie Kloss a love note from the Derek Blasberg x OC Valentine's Day note set last week but we needed to catch their chemistry in person. Sparks fly below.
Name: Derek Blasberg
Occupation: Writer
Neighborhood: Tribeca
Describe how you and Karlie met? Although we grew up in the same neighborhood back in St. Louis, Missouri, we didn't meet till she was living up here in New York. Everyone said I had to meet this sweet girl from St. Louis because I'd love her, and they were right! We were instant family—she's the little sister I always wanted!
What is she currently obsessed with? Cookies. Or, should I say Kookies? Have you tried her Karlie's Kookies yet? Mmm, good.
What is her pet peeve? People who expect her to be on time.
Favorite celebrity couple of all time? Bacall and Bogey, of course.
Describe the best first date you've ever been on: It's been so long since I've been on a date, they all seem good.
On Valentine's Day, we'll find you: Attending New York fashion week. Romance isn't dead, but it's work. I'll get to see my Valentine, though, so there's a silver lining!
Name: Karlie Kloss
Occupation: 6-foot-tall giraffe (aka model)
Neighborhood: West Village
If Derek was a song, what song would he be? "Meet Me in St. Louis" by the one and only Judy Garland. We are both from the same small town in Missouri, so it is practically our theme song.
What is he currently obsessed with? SoulCycle. Not exactly a bad obsession, hey? These days, he has better legs than me!
What is his pet peeve? Tardiness, which happens to be my specialty. Maybe that's why we get along so well. Opposites attract, right?
Favorite celebrity couple of all time? I have to agree with my big bro on this one. You can't beat Bogey and Bacall. They're the ultimate power couple.
What's the most romantic thing you've ever gifted or been gifted? I recently received a very special Valentine in the mail from Derek! It was written on his fabulous new stationery line. ;)
On Valentine's Day, we'll find you: Hopefully, spending the entire day with my Valentine, Mr. Derek Blasberg. And maybe a few runway shows somewhere in between.
