At what point in one's modeling career can you say that you've officially "made it"? When you walk in New York and Paris' Fashion Weeks? When you model for Vogue? What about when you land an Estee Lauder campaign AND Vogue has a feature story about it?!Suffice it to say, Kendall Jenner has officially made it in the modeling world. The reality star turned model just announced that she is the new face of Estee Lauder and in the accompanying Vogue story, she talks about how she got there.
"I learned early that being a perfectionist and providing quality was the only way to do business," she tells them. "Workaholic is a good word in our house."
Kendall says that she found out that she had been chosen to be the new global face of Estee Lauder via text while she was backstage at the Sonia Rykiel show.
She had to keep quiet about the news and was only able to reveal it this morning. "I am super excited to announce that I am the new face of @esteelauder!! check out http://www.esteelauder.com/kendall to see more...I still can't believe it myself!" she shared on Instagram.
Sister Khloe Kardashian couldn't contain her excitement, either. "I am literally jumping up-and-down with pride and joy for my baby sister!!!!! @kendalljenner is the new face of @esteelauder!!!" she gushed on Instagram. "It takes so much courage to actually go ahead and conquer your dreams. Most people just talk about what they want to do. You are actually living what you've dreamed you'd always do! Proud of you baby girl."
We second that. Congrats, Kendall!
