The new face of beauty giant Estee Lauder, walking the runway at fashion week for industry stalwarts such as Chanel, Balmain, Givenchy and DVF, Jenner, who is rumoured to be trying to separate herself from the Kardashian name has certainly staked her claim for the model of the moment.

Landing campaigns such as Tom Ford with Miley’s new beau Patrick Schwarzenegger, appearing in the annual Pirelli calendar, shooting the new Victoria’s Secret Pink campaign, heading down under for the Melbourne Cup and reuniting with on and off boyfriend, Aussie muso Cody Simpson, the list goes on. A favourite of Carine Roitfield, this cherubic faced teen is set to make bigger waves in the industry in 2015.
