Kendall Jenner Covers Harper’s BAZAAR

It-girl Kendall Jenner covers the June/July issue of Harper’s Bazaar (on newsstands May 24). Shot by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, the supermodel and social media maven opens up on fashion, being raised in the public eye, her taste in music (she’s a Belieber), and her love of animals.

On being raised in the public eye:

“We were brought up in this abnormal world, if that’s what you want to call it. I feel like a lot of people say that kids who grow up in that kind of world go crazy. But it has everything to do with how your parents raise you. I was raised so normally, or as normally as I could have been.”

 

On meeting Karl Lagerfeld for the first time:

“I met him at my first fitting for Chanel two years ago. I was already nervous because it was my first season, my first Chanel show, and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I’m also pretty shy when I first meet someone…I had heard a lot from Cara Delevingne about how funny he is, how he’s normal and just a cool guy. Now, every time we get to work together the relationship gets better.”

 

On what she thought she wanted to be when she grew up:

“I’ve always loved animals. I rode horses for 10 and a half years, so I thought I was going to be a professional horseback rider and then a vet. I used to play these vet video games.” 

 

On meeting new people and being closed off:

“I’m not super open to new people. I have a small group of people I trust. I’m very intuitive, so I’m good at feeling out how people are, like if they have bad intentions. Sometimes I’m very closed off, which annoys me, but I think it’s for the best.”

 

On her taste in music:

“I went to Justin Bieber’s concert the other night. Of course I have the fever! He’s a really good friend of the family’s, so we all went to support him. Kanye went two nights in a row. He’s a huge fan – I was shocked. He was dancing around the whole night, having so much fun… I am 100% a huge fan of Beyoncé. If I see her, I will faint. I’ve met her before. I just get really nervous and quiet – I just shut up and bow down.”
