If for a second you questioned whether Kendall Jenner was serious about her modeling career, you better put your money where your mouth is. The supermodel just scored a spot on Vogue's September issue, which is not just the heaviest edition, but a trend forecast [1] for the entire year ahead. The message here? Kendall Jenner's sticking around. In her interview, Kendall discusses her first Marc Jacobs runway show [2], where she wore a sheer shirt and begged her spotlight-stealing family not to attend:

"Marc invited my whole family to that first show, and I was like, 'I love you guys, but can you please just not come?' I was trying so hard to be taken seriously, like, 'Guys: This is not a joke or a stunt; this is what I want to do with my life.' I had to prove that I could do it. And now I feel like I'm a part of something. I feel I have accomplished something that is mine," she said, later elaborating, "This is a career — I want this to last for a long time. Not that I won't venture out and do other things, but I want this to be like a Cindy Crawford thing: I want it to last until I am her age. That's why I love her so much and why I look up to her: Her life now is something that I want my life to be like."
