Newsmaker of the week : Kendall Jenner
The ‘Model Of The Moment’ is our newsmaker this week.
There is no stopping Kendall Jenner. As part of a new generation of high-end models blessed with celebrity DNA, she not only boasts a coveted contract with beauty behemoth Estee Lauder but has nabbed her biggest deal yet as the new face of Calvin Klein Underwear. Joining the likes of Kate Moss, Brooke Shields and Christy Turlington as the iconic faces of the American clothing label, the 19 year old fronts the #mycalvins Denim Series.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has been fast cementing herself as one of the top names in modeling. She had a successful start this year having walked the runway for luxury brands including Chanel, Balmain and H&M at Paris Fashion Week. More recently she appeared in the new Estee Lauder campaign, Courreges Estee Lauder Collection. She has also fronted ads for Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy.
Meanwhile, Kendall appeared in the April issue of Vogue alongside Justin Beiber and Gigi Hadid for an editorial titled titled “Meet Hollywood’s New Brat Pack”. In the era of social media, the followers count had become a key tool for models to help them land jobs and with 21 million Instagram followers, Jenner is a lucrative catch for any fashion brand.
