Kendall Jenner covers the subscriber’s edition of Harper Bazaar’s May issue. She didn’t score the newsstand cover (which went to German model Anna Ewers), but this is still noteworthy. A member of the Kardashian Klan has infiltrated Bazaar. I’m glad it was Kendall since she’s a model by trade, although the shoot isn’t the greatest. She was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, and the whole editorial is Chanel couture. Kendall’s vibe is very young and hip. That’s why she’s best suited to her Calvin Klein and beauty contracts. In couture, she looks like she’s playing dress up. Journo Laura Brown describes the shoot as “quite the metaphor” because Kendall is “coming out of a box.” Like a doll.
The interview is a bit vapid, but I don’t expect substance from the Kardashians. Kendall talks about her hope for fashion longevity and how she’s moving to a no-carb diet. Is that possible? She probably means “low-carb,” especially since Kendall admits to loving pasta. She idolizes her most famous sister, Kim, and truly admires Kim’s fashion sense:
Lagerfeld calls her “girl of the moment”: “I started this hoping that it would have longevity. I didn’t come into this thinking it’s going to be a fun thing that I’m going to do on the side. It’s something I want to do my whole life. It’s a career, so I needed to be really gentle with it. We had to pick and choose things very specifically.”
Her favorite food: “If I’m being honest, pasta. But I’m working to stay away from it because I’m trying to get on a no-carb diet. I’m trying to cut out bread, or just cut down on it. I eat too much bread.”
Her ambition: “I’m definitely ambitious. This past year has changed my life in so many ways. I’ve met so many people, I’ve been so many places. When you look back at it, it’s pretty crazy. I’d love just continuing that, continuing to grow.”
Her dream style: “I really admire Kim’s style. It’s insane. She really knows how to work her style with her body. I think she could be a major fashion icon. It’s so fun to be in Paris with her, but I’ll walk out and be like, ‘Oh, my God, I love my outfit,’ and then I’ll see Kim and I’ll be like, ‘My outfit sucks compared to yours!’”

I think Kendall has some cool street style and have no idea why she’d admire Kim’s delusional fashion. Actually, we’re mostly talking about Kanye’s fashion sense at this point, which is equally delusional. Both Kendall and Kylie look up to Kim. That only proves to me how divorced from reality the entire family really is (despite starring in a reality show). No way does Kim know how to work her style with her bod. Exhibit A, y’all.
