In a new interview with WSJ Kendall Jenner opened up about dealing with fame and reflected on how she didn’t choose the lifestyle she lives – she was born in it.
During the conversation the supermodel spoke on how when she was growing up she often felt out of place. “Since I was really young, I felt out of place in my family,” Kendall, 27, said. “I was born into this life, but I didn’t choose this life. I’m not built for this by any means. I’m not good at it. I do it, and I’ve learned how to do it.”

“I obviously understand I fall under the umbrella of the Kardashian sisters,” she said. “It’s just weird to me … because I am just like my dad in so many ways. I’m such a Jenner, in my opinion.” She also referred to herself as a “daddy’s girl.” Fashion designer Marc Jacobs also spoke about his first encounter with the star when he casted her in her first major runway show back in 2014. “She was Kendall, she wasn’t Kendall Jenner, she wasn’t Kim’s little sister,” he told the outlet. “I said [to Katie later], if she fits in the clothes and looks good in the clothes and walks beautifully, I don’t see why she shouldn’t be in the cast. If you are only interested in her because she is Kendall Jenner, I’m not into it.”
As a model, Kendall Jenner has walked the runways for numerous high-profile fashion brands and designers, including Chanel, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Victoria’s Secret, and many others. She has also appeared on the covers of prestigious fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle.
