Haven’t you seen Jenner’s new look? Check Marc Jacobs’ Instagram account.
The designer just posted Kendall as his latest gothic muse for his Fall 2016 campaign. You can stop scrolling. We know you might not have recognized her, but that’s our fresh-faced Kendall in a costume fit for Miss Bellatrix Lestrange.
Donning a voluminous tulle and satin gown and a crazed crimp do, Jenner sits hunched with a piercing stare in the pitch-black ensemble.
Jacobs’ revels in what he feels is a “statuesque” Jenner, as she sits regally (and sombrely) poised. In those sky-high leather platforms, we’d be surprised if the model was posing in anything but a sitting position. The enormous height of Jacobs’ new design would require nothing short of a stilt-walking professional.
In Jenner’s second snapshot, we see the it-model has strayed a great distance from her Calvin Klein-musing days. Jenner appears sullen, dark, as she continues to shine through the eerie glow with her vivid and heartfelt expressions. In this headshot, Jacobs’ deems Jenner his ‘Goth Goddess’.

While it’s shocking to see the styles and aesthetics of designers changing so dramatically in the fast-paced world of fashion, it comes at a greater surprise when the model is constantly subjected to the media’s spotlight.
Fittingly, Kendall’s first fashion show was on Marc Jacobs’ runway in 2014.
The designer says Jenner has been a part of every show since. Now, we see the relationship between Kendall and Jacobs’ grow, prosper and take on shocking new forms. I.e. Jenner’s new gothic garb.
Jacobs writes, “For me, it is the ability of a model to effortlessly transform into a look and character that makes her so appealing and inspiring.”
While we’re still adjusting to Jenner’s bewitching transformation, we fondly reminisce of a young metal-mouthed Kendall…
