Ace Designer Calvin Klein Throws Major Shade at Kendall Jenner, Calls Her an Instagram Model

Kendall Jenner has strutted the Balmain runway at Paris Fashion week, graced the cover of Vogue and was named a Victoria Secret model last year. Unfortunately for the 20-year-old reality TV star, not all designers are impressed by her work as a model.

During a recent interview, popular American fashion designer Calvin Klein revealed that he didn’t approve of the company’s decision for Kendall to front the Calvin Klein #MyCalvins campaign. According to him, he wouldn’t have chosen the reality star to feature in the campaign.

“Choosing the reality star is not the kind of thing I would have done, even today” said the 73-year-old designer. “Now models are paid for how many followers they have on social media not booked because they represent the essence of the designer,” he added.

Klein , who sold his brand in 2002, also stated that he wouldn’t rely on social media to ensure a strong brand however he had some ideas on how social media could be an asset.

“Just putting any old clothes on Kim Kardashian, long-term, isn’t going to do a thing.”

Surprisingly, the designer gave his approval of Justin Bieber in the Calvin Klein Underwear campaign, stating that he thought it was very good. “It’s because I like him — not because he’s got millions of followers,” he explained.

The shade though!
