"I wanted to understand what they knew that I didn t and what most of the world doesn t. If you can understand how things work and how they are built you can build anything yourself " Kloss told Business of Fashion magazine.

"Our brains are just wired differently we solve problems differently. And ultimately that s what code is: it s creative problem-solving. Having more women and girls in the conversation at the table when you are building algorithms when you are problem-solving -- we are going to come up with a different way to get to the answer " she added.
