‘I worked pretty hard for this’

Kendall Jenner hits back at her critics

She’s been announced as the new face of Estée Lauder and has worked with some of the world’s top designers, including Marc Jacobs and Balmain, but Kendal Jenner has insisted it’s all down to hard work and not her famous surname.
“In reality I worked pretty hard for this, running around doing tests. It wasn’t like I just got it magically and it has just happened,” she explained.
And the 19-year-old said she’s aware she’s a role model. She continued: “I would always be looking at these supermodels, they were just so amazing, they were like superheroes… I want to be some little girl’s superhero. I want to be the best role model I can be to a little girl or a little boy or to anybody.”
Kendall has previously spoken out about distancing herself from the family name – and rumours suggested she’d banned her famous family from her shows. She told a TV show: “Banned is a strong word, it is more of a mutual understanding. I think if my sister’s sitting in the front row, and my sister is who she is, it sounds weird, but it would have almost taken the attention away from what I’m trying to do on my own.”
