Reality television star of Keeping Up with the
Kardashians fame, Kendall Jenner, has caused quite a media frenzy following
her fashion week debut on the catwalk of Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2014 show. The 18
year old has always been quite public about her modelling aspirations, starting
out as a campaign model for pageant and prom gown designer Sherri Hill back in
2012. While Jenner has walked in multiple shows for Hill in the past two years,
the Marc Jacobs show marks her first stint in a show for a ready to wear
collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Jenner’s
catwalk debut is not exactly the only thing keeping the star’s name in the limelight,
but more specifically the debatably revealing look she was wearing in the show.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan has been receiving some negative criticism from the
public for encouraging Jenner to wear the sheer top that revealed her nipples
as she strutted down the runway. The public clearly seems to be ignoring the
fact that the 44 look collection featured 10 sheer looks and that Jenner
herself did not design the garment she was wearing at the show. Hopefully as
the newly-legal teen’s career continues to rise, the public will be able to take
her seriously as a model and cease latching onto the image of the 9 year old
girl she once was when Keeping Up With the Kardashians first aired on E!.
Jenner’s mild backlash aside, Marc Jacobs’ latest show proved to be a theatrical success for the designer. Opting out of presenting at Lincoln Center, Jacobs’ show was presented at the spacious hall of the New York State Armory for 750 guests. The set featured 500 foam clouds hanging from the ceiling as well as foam pegs emerging from the floor in place of traditional chairs for the guests. Among those in the front row of foam pegs were socialite-turned-model Atlanta Bean, fashion persona Alexa Chung, and former boyband member, Joe Jonas. Earning the most praise from the press was actress Sarah Paulson, who had just completed a promo tour basking in the glory of her character’s triumph in the recently-aired finale of hit show American Horror Story: Coven. Paulson opted for a look that would have been a perfect wardrobe choice for Coven, posing backstage with Marc Jacobs in a Victorian-gothic, black lace gown from the designer’s spring 2014 collection. All in all, Jacobs’ show provided all of the makings for an extraordinary and memorable Marc Jacobs show.
