Kendall Jenner is currently the most talked about, scrutinised and followed high fashion model in the industry today. Coming from the infamous family The Kardashians, Jenner often separates her astronomical career from her life, which is totally documented on reality television. She looks like a beautiful woman with a flawless body, yet her success is always questioned; with talk that she only gets work because of her fame. But it is often clear that Kendall was born to walk the runway, and we are sure the rest of her 36 million followers agree. Fashion brands around the globe stock up each week with Kendal themed outfits, making her a massive influence!
Cara is an “It” Girl, triple threat, unstoppable Londoner who isn’t interested in your negativity. This down to earth supermodel is one that is known to be the most glamorous tomboy in the world, with best friends ranging from Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift to Kate Moss. She is the hardest working model in the industry and succeeds at everything she tries. This witty character can laugh at her self or kill it in Vogue. Her versatility of talent also applies to her fashion sense and Cara is always seen experimenting with fashion, which often turns into an overnight trend. We cannot see Cara becoming out of date in whatever she does, and believe she will continue to shine as the #1 trendsetter.
