After walking the runway for Chanel and Marc Jacobs, Kendall is continuing to dominate the fashion world by landing Givenchy's Fall 2014 campaign.
Kendall Jenner may be fairly new to the fashion world, but that hasn’t stopped her from quickly taking over it. The 18-year-old E! star will be featured in Givenchy’s fall 2014 advertisement alongside six other models.
Shot by photographer duo Mert & Marcus, the Givenchy campaign has a dark and sultry vibe and displays its models decked out in fur and leather. The first image of the advert, released on Instagram today, shows Jenner wearing dark lipstick and a stunning animal print frock.
Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci is close friends with Jenner’s sister Kim Kardashian and her new husband Kanye West, and created custom clothes for the famous couple’s wedding. So while it is definitely possible that this connection helped Jenner land the campaign, Jenner has been doing a great job making a name for herself in the fashion world without relying on her family’s celebrity.
“She’s unique in wanting to turn her back on her celebrity when it comes to modeling, she’s with a smaller very respected agency called Society who work specifically with high end designers, photographers and stylists,” said stylist Katie Grand, who worked with Jenner during her debut shoot in Vogue Paris last month. “It would have been easy for Kendall to go with a bigger agency and gone down a celebrity route but she wants to be taken seriously as a model just like the rest of them.”
Jenner walked the runway for Marc Jacobs during New York Fashion Week and Chanel during Paris Fashion Week. The Givenchy advert marks her first major high-fashion campaign.
