Kendall Jenner praises Kardashian sister while appearing on first major fashion magazine cover

She has most definitely arrived on the couture scene and looks like she’s there to stay.

On Thursday it was revealed Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kendall Jenner landed the May cover of Harper’s Bazaar. This has happened less than a year after first hitting the catwalk, which is quite a feat in the supermodel world.

But Kendall, who is the face of Estee Lauder, had nothing but good things to say about Mrs Kanye West (who is at the moment in Armenia with sister Khloe, ).

‘I think she could be a major fashion icon,’ added the 5’10” catwalker.

‘It’s so fun to be in Paris with her, but I’ll walk out and be like, “Oh, my God, I love my outfit,” and then I’ll see Kim and I’ll be like, “My outfit sucks compared to yours!”‘

Jenner also talked about what it is like to work with stunners Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid.

‘You have to be around these girls for work, for parties, for events, for shows, especially. It’s good to have a set of girlfriends that you can stand being around,’ the sister of Kylie,  said.

‘You have to be around these people all the time!’

As far as modeling, the beauty said she plays to be like Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson, as in be a top model for life.

‘I started this hoping that it would have longevity,’ the teen said.

‘I didn’t come into this thinking it’s going to be a fun thing that I’m going to do on the side. It’s something I want to do my whole life.’

The mannequin – who models Valentino, Armani Privé, Chanel – also dishes about Karl Lagerfeld, who pH๏τographed her Bazaar.

‘I’m really shy when I first meet someone — and to meet him was even worse,’ she said.

‘He would say something to me and I would just nod. It was like meeting a crush or something — I was mute. He probably thought I was the biggest weirdo. And then every time we’d see each other, it would just get better and better. Now we’re totally BFFs.’

She also said he helped her with her career in more ways than one.

‘I’ve actually learned to be a better model. Whenever I shoot with him, he gives me some tips, little things, pointers. He makes me feel good when I’m working with him—we have good chemistry now,’ Kendall added.
