Marc Jacobs y Kendall Jenner se conocieron en 2014, cuando Kendall se presentó como modelo para formar parte de lo que sería su primer desfile, la presentación de la colección otoño de ese año de la marca. Después de trabajar juntos en varias oportunidades, el destino los volvió a juntar en una campaña fotográfica para lo que será la colección otoño ’16, que tiene un marcado estilo gótico-rockero.

Gracias a la cuenta oficial de Instagram de Marc Jacobs, pudimos tener acceso al backstage, donde se la puede ver a Kendall Jenner como una reina gótica, irreconocible. Además, convocaron nada más ni nada menos que a Courtney Love, como reina grunge, y a Marilyn Manson.

En cuanto a Kendall, Jacobs declaró: “Durante los castings para la colección de otoño’16, debido a la enorme altura de las botas que diseñamos, tuvimos que asegurarnos de que cada una de las modelos pudiera caminar (y caminar de manera segura). Kendall se puso las botas y caminó alrededor del estudio como si tuviera un par de zapatillas de running: divina, segura y entusiasmada de hacer el show como si fuera su primera vez.”

“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.
