Kendall Jenner Addresses Those Bullying Rumours In Dazed And Confused

It feels like every other day we have another reason to write a 'Kendall Jenner is taking over the fashion world' story. Today's 'Kendall Jenner fashion milestone' is that she has shot her first arty independent mag cover. The model is starring in three separate covers for *Dazed and Confused. *

While her sister Kim is 'breaking the internet' over on* Paper Magazine, Kendall is 'changing the face of fashion' on Dazed. *In one black and white cover she wears a military Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2015 buttoned coat and black bowl cut bob, similar to the one she sported in the Marc Jacobs show.

Her second cover is a little more surreal, with Kendall wearing a wacky colour block Junya Watanabe ensemble with a plastic spherical hat, clutching a red leather Junya Watanabe teddy bear. The third cover is a jigsaw of the two images.

Inside the mag Kendall addresses those bullying rumours, clarifying that no one has ever been rude to her backstage. She said: “That has never happened, ever. 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.”

She also talked about how supportive her family (and Kanye) have been of her modelling career. “Every show, no matter how many shows I’ve done, I get a text message from every single one of them," she told Dazed. "But I love it. I couldn’t ask for a better reaction. The other day Kanye hugged me and was like, ‘Yo, I’m really proud of you.’ And I was like, ‘REALLY?!’ It’s so sweet to hear that.”

The independents are embracing the Kardashian-Jenners. If you've managed to miss Kim Kardashian's* Paper Magazine* cover, well done you, because it exploded everywhere earlier this month. *Paper Magazine'*s Editorial Director told Grazia Daily about the shoot: "We had two goals. Since the theme of the issue was to 'break the internet' we wanted to create hysteria on line." He added: "Another goal was to create incredibly iconic images. Having Jean-Paul, one of the greatest photographers alive today and Kim, the world’s most famous woman together was a dream come true."

Cultural icons starring in high-low covers for titles such as* i-D* and Dazed is hardly a new trick. Victoria Beckham has done* i-D*, Britney Spears did Pop and One Direction were on the cover of Wonderland. Katie Grand shot many cultural icons during her time at* Pop* and took this cover concept over to* Love Magazine* where she has photographed the likes of Miley Cyrus, Abbey Clancy and Justin Bieber.

But it does seem like the high-low cover is becoming less of an ironic 'wink, wink' anomoly and the fly-off-the-shelves norm. This month you'll see Taylor Swift on Wonderland, Kim Kardashian on Paper and now Kendall Jenner on Dazed and Confused. Given that these celebrities have an Instagram following greater than the population of several countries, it's hardly a surprising editorial decision.
