The Kardashians are Marmite. You either love them or hate them. The haters (of which there are plenty!) main criticism is that they are talentless opportunists that have achieved global fame and notoriety for doing nothing. Fair point.<\/p>\n
However there has always been one of the Kardashian\/Jenner clan members that has stood out in our eyes. Our willowy, glamorous cover star Kendall. Unlike the others she has forged a successful career on her own merit. According to Forbes, at 25, she is the highest earning female supermodel.<\/p>\n
She has\u00a0collaborated with top\u00a0fashion and beauty\u00a0brands\u00a0including Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Estee Lauder and Victoria\u00b4s Secret.<\/p>\n
It\u00b4s with no shame Kendall admits to using\u00a0the reality show\u00a0as a platform to launch her modelling career\u00a0–\u00a0which\u00a0has\u00a0sparked a difference\u00a0from her famous sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Kylie who have all launched clothing lines but have never stepped foot on the catwalk itself.<\/p>\n
Kendall has made a big jump into the modelling industry thanks to her striking good looks\u00a0and killer figure and\u00a0compared to her siblings,\u00a0she is\u00a0considered a\u00a0positive\u00a0role model\u00a0to all her young fans.\u00a0A little bit more chic, sexy and classy than the likes of Kim and\u00a0Khloe\u00a0\u2013 who regularly get public\u00a0berating\u2019s\u00a0for over-the-top antics and barely\u00a0there\u00a0dresses!<\/p>\n

KEEPING UP<\/p>\n
Kendall first appeared on the reality show \u2018Keeping Up With The Kardashians\u2019 in\u00a02007. Her childhood from the age of 12 has been televised to the world and fans have watched her blossom\u00a0from a sometimes sulky teen\u00a0into the\u00a0beautiful\u00a0woman she is today.\u00a0Kendall, unlike her sisters,\u00a0has always been a quieter sole and less of a reality star diva. She is a career driven go-getter which\u00a0is what sets her apart from the rest. The show highlights her close relationship with her baby sister Kylie, her 8 half siblings\u00a0including the 3 Kardashian sisters\u00a0and her parents Kris and newly gender transitioned dad Caitlyn\u00a0Jenner, try that for a crazy family! With the show ending last year after its 20th<\/sup> Season, Kendall\u2019s career shows no signs of slowing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DESTINED FOR THE CATWALK<\/p>\n Kendall began modelling at the early\u00a0age of 14 after being signed up\u00a0by Wilhelmina Models who scouted her potential. Her first modelling job was in 2009 for the fashion chain Forever 21 and in 2011 she walked for Sherri Hill during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week after which her career soared\u00a0from strength to strength. The end of 2012 saw Kendall on the covers of various teen targeted magazines including GenLux and by the end of the year she teamed up with world famous Victoria\u2019s Secret photographer Russell James. The\u00a0partnership\u00a0between the two\u00a0hit\u00a0Harper\u2019s\u00a0Bazaar and the model featured\u00a0her writing\u00a0in\u00a0\u2018James\u00a0Nomad Two Worlds:\u00a0Australia\u2019, the quality of her\u00a0editorial\u00a0work\u00a0saw the\u00a0transition\u00a0from commercial\u00a0to high fashion which led to her signing\u00a0with The Society Management\u00a0in 2014.\u00a0Jenner has also walked\u00a0for prestigious fashion weeks in New York for Marc Jacobs and Paris for Givenchy and Chanel. Her acceptance by\u00a0high fashion labels proved to models and designers that she was cut out for\u00a0the best modelling jobs in the world;\u00a0Kendall is tall, dark haired and beautiful\u00a0and the catwalk has indeed\u00a0become her life.<\/p>\n She has also walked on catwalks\u00a0for Donna Karan,\u00a0Tommy Hilfiger and Fendi just to\u00a0name a few. She has been on\u00a0the covers of GQ, Elle and Vogue\u00a0and was the face of the Balmain campaign alongside model and\u00a0best friends Gigi and Bella Hadid (all this\u00a0before hitting 20\u00a0we have to add).\u00a0Kendall is indeed\u00a0living her dream;\u00a0she was interviewed at 13-years-old stating she would love to be a Victoria\u2019s Secret Angel a dream that she kicked off her bucket in 2015.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n POPULARITY<\/p>\n The model has\u00a0a large and strong following, with 204 million Instagram followers. She has been placed as the No.1 most followed model on Facebook, Instagram and the 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0most followed model on Twitter not far behind modelling tycoon Tyra Banks. Kendall, like many\u00a0other normal girls her age, uses her social media platforms\u00a0to share photos of\u00a0herself, family and friends but she uses them to plug her many endorsements and commercial projects. The\u00a0unique\u00a0factor is that she\u00a0uses her\u00a0social\u00a0media to\u00a0influence\u00a0her fashion credibility in a way that speaks to millions.\u00a0Kendall\u00a0has used the Kardashian affiliation that first shot her into the limelight and made a lasting name for\u00a0herself\u00a0but she always had the gift since an early age. \u201cI would literally sit at home and have my friends take pictures of me on my little Canon camera\u00a0that my mum gave me for Christmas, obviously the show was being in front of a camera, it\u2019s just something I have always been around.\u201d\u00a0Kendall stated about her busy lifestyle balancing the show and modelling:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s definitely two different worlds. I feel like Hannah Montana, but\u00a0it is fun.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENDORSEMENTS<\/p>\n Ms Jenner has featured alongside her sister in their \u2018Kendall + Kylie\u2019 collaboration with Topshop\u00a0which was a global success. The biggest highlight of\u00a0her career came in the form of being the brand face for the world\u00b4s largest cosmetic company,\u00a0Estee Lauder, netting her a cool $4m. She\u00a0has also\u00a0fronted ads for Modern Muse le Rouge, Shimmer Body Lotion and Pure Colour collection and the company created a\u00a0limited-edition Kendall Jenner shade brand of Pure Colour Envy Matte Sculpting Lipstick in 2015.\u00a0Kendall also has her own official website with lifestyle blogs and paid subscription mobile app extensions. Plus, the Jenner sisters paired with Glu Mobile and developed a spin off from their half-sister\u2019s mobile app \u2018Kim Kardashian: Hollywood\u2019\u00a0called \u2018Kendall and Kylie.\u2019<\/p>\n Despite modelling still being her full-time job, she knows it\u2019s not a forever career and has been involved in the launch of several new companies. The first Moon is an oral health care brand that offer teeth whitening pens and she has also has her own brand of Tequila called 818.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RELATIONSHIPS<\/p>\n It goes without saying that Kendall has attracted a lot of male attention\u00a0from\u00a0the who\u00b4s who of\u00a0A-List\u00a0hotties. She\u00a0famously dated\u00a0One Direction\u00b4s\u00a0Harry Styles for a year and has rumoured to\u00a0have hooked\u00a0up with Nick Jonas, Lewis Hamilton and the\u00a0Biebs! She is currently dating NBA Basketball Player Devin Booker, who is also 25. The couple have been together for just over a year having first met in June 2020 and going public on Valentine\u2019s day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike her sisters the model is quiet about her love life and she has never flaunted a relationship before but these two seem very much in love. Her mum Kris is seriously hoping that Kendall, who is the last of her family to settle down and have kids, has met her match here. Kendall is an Auntie to 18 nieces and nephews and has recently expressed a desire to have kids. Let\u2019s hope this love story has a happy ending.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Kardashians are Marmite. You either love them or hate them.
