Kendall Jenner Goes Goth for Marc Jacobs Campaign Fall 2016

Rounding out the "traditional model" portion of the roster, Kendall Jenner has joined Cara Delevingne—and Courtney Love, Missy Elliott, Marilyn Manson, and St. Vincent—as one of the (many) faces of Marc Jacobs' Fall 2016 campaign.

In the caption accompanying the David Sims-lensed portrait, the designer history recounts Jenner's history with the brand (it was her first fashion show ever thanks to Katie Grand/a BFD when she landed Spring 2015) and shares an anecdote about the model's work ethic and startling ability to sail around in those lethally vertiginous platforms.

KENDALL, Supermodel I will always remember the first time I met Kendall during castings for our Fall 2014 fashion show. Katie Grand invited her to come by the studio for a brief introduction before she was photographed for the model boards. At the time, I knew very little about Kendall… As history now has it, her very first fashion show was for Marc Jacobs Fall 2014. Kendall has since been a part of every show along with being featured in our Spring ’15 ad campaign (also shot by David Sims). It goes without saying that Kendall has gone on to establish an incredible career for herself and every bit of it is a testament to her hard work, passion and desire. During castings for Fall ’16, due to the enormous height of the boots we designed, we had to make certain that each girl was able to walk (and walk safely). Kendall slid those boots on and walked around the studio as if she was in a pair of running shoes: statuesque, confident and just as enthusiastic and excited to be doing the show as if it was her first one. For me, it is the ability of a model to effortlessly transform into a look and character that makes her so appealing and inspiring. Photographed by David Sims for our Fall ’16 ad as a Goth Goddess is the sweet, kind and ultimate professional, Kendall Jenner.

Did you catch it, though? That subtle-but-pointed weighing-in on the whole Stephanie Seymour Thing? No?
