Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner brood, are going from strength to strength and are slowly building their own brand independent from older sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe. While we've always seen them on the family's reality show, it's only relatively recently that they've caught everyone's attention. In the last year the pair have appeared in a string of magazines and are quickly gaining a strong teenage following and now Seventeen magazine have decided to tap into that.
Today the magazine confirmed that the pair have signed on as their new 'West Coat fashion contributors'. According to the press release that went out this morning, the pair will appear in web videos and a monthly feature called, 'Kendall & Kylie's Fashion Journal. The decision makes sense. Seventeen did really well when they teamed up with America's Next Top Model a few years ago so with circulation numbers dwindling and ad pages decreasing, it was only a matter of time before they tapped into the reality TV world in some way again. The Jenner's seem the perfect fit.
Alexandra Shulman of British Vogue once called for 'healthier' models. Her prayers have been answered in the form of plus-size supermodel of the moment Crystal Renn - and her curvy figure and gorgeous bone structure. Since last fashion-week season, Renn has been causing a storm in the industry by defying everything it has ever 'stood' for, proving that models of all shapes and sizes should be allowed to share a piece of the action.
With all her success since she stopped starving herself to be a 'straight-sized' clothes horse, one can hardly believe how far she has come. In an interview with the Eric Wilson of the New York Times yesterday, Renn candidly bares all about life at the start of her career. Reading from her book, Hungry, Wilson shares an excerpt showing the realities of the industry: "By 2002, when she moved to New York at age 15, she weighted 95 pounds and had lost more than 42% of her body weight. On her first day in the city, she landed a shoot for Seventeen."
