Kendall Jenner has absolutely taken the modeling world by storm this year. She went from being a bit of a joke to being the most sought-after and well-employed model in the business, arguably. With success has come stories that her family history – you know, the fact that she’s part of the tasteless Kardashian clan – caused her to be bullied by other, more successful women. That rumour is untrue, says Kendall.
From Dazed:
“That has never happened, ever,” she says. “I would see rumours of girls bullying me backstage and putting cigarettes out in my drink, and none of that has happened. Everyone’s been really cool to me. I’ve never had one girl be mean… so far.”
Well, that’s good to know. Either way, I kinda dig this shoot (Dazed does some good ones) and I actually think Kendall is a really good model. I don’t know why, but she’s come a long way and is actually doing more with her life than anyone in her family is. Not that modeling takes “talent”, per se, but you know what I mean.
I don’t know how she’s ‘changing the face of fashion’. She’s gorgeous and makes for a good model, but it’s not like she’s groundbreaking. Kate Moss ushered in the waif model look, and was probably the shortest model in the business. Kendall is tall, thin and gorgeous. She doesn’t have a mole, a toothy gap and isn’t black like some other more groundbreaking models in the past.
She is pretty enough, but there are many just as, if not more so, pretty women in my small town. I hope she doesn’t believe that she got any modeling gigs on her own merit. Without the “benefit” of the family’s fame, I highly doubt she would have even been able to land a gig modeling Keds for a Payless Shoes ad.
