It could have gone either way, but Kendall Jenner’s career as a legitimate fashion model is basically solidified now she’s walked in an actual Parish Fashion Week show. The 18-year-old walked in the Givenchy show yesterday, watched from the front row by soon-to-be brother-in-law Kanye West.
Everyone freaked out when she walked for Marc Jacobs in New York, but wondered if it was maybe some kind of gimmick? However, she *then *showed up at Giles in London, as well as on the front row of Topshop Unique, sitting next to Anna Wintour . The unlikely seatmates bonded over their flights being diverted to Newcastle, said Kendall. Cool.
She’s actually been warmly embraced by the fashion world, with Love magazine’s Katie Grand taking her under her wing in London, and Vogue enlisting her help for its Instagram feed during New York Fashion Week.
Although Kanye was front row at Givenchy to offer family support, Kim Kardashian had to make do with social media photos of Kendall’s moment, tweeting from Los Angeles, ‘OMG @kendalljenner for Givenchy!!!! #ParisFashionWeek! Texting her backstage wishing her good luck.’
