Kendall Jenner for Mango

As one of the most sought after models, Kendall Jenner has walked the catwalk in Givenchy’s New York Fashion Week show, landed a spot in a Marc Jacobs campaign, and even earned her wings walking in a Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

Fast fashion retailer Mango apparently couldn’t find any women of color and/or African natives to model for their new “Tribal Spirit” campaign, so they enlisted Jenner instead, according to a report from Women’s Wear Daily.

The American supermodel was hospitalised for exhaustion a year ago, but she seems to be fully recovered and back in business, showcasing Mango’s new line Tribal Spirit, which is one of four trends represented by the high-street store.

Looks from Rebecca Minkoff’s fall 2015 collection in February.

Mango believes the Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty is the best person “to model a collection of uncontained beauty and cultural fusion, typical of the wildest savannah” and the statement pieces from the collection come with “an abundance of accessories to produce outfits of a tribal and free-spirited influence”. In the first sneak peek (below), Jenner dons a sleek black leather minidress with plenty of fringe. And obviously the upside with that is that, as a model, she’s very professional, she works fantastically. “It was a great shoot and working with the entire Mango team was an fantastic experience!” In April 2014, Marie Claire found itself in the middle of controversy when the magazine tweeted a photo of Kendall Jenner wearing parted cornrows and calling her hairstyle “bold” and “epic”.

What are your thoughts on Mango’s “Tribal Spirit” collection?

If you don’t think Kendall is onto something new, be informed that Saint Laurent Paris has turned it’s attention to going off-season when it comes to releasing collections as well.
