The teenage sister of Kim Kardashian has been foraying into the modeling world and recently even dropped her last name "Jenner" in order to separate her career as a star of the reality show that launched her career, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. According to Radar Online, Kendall thinks that the Kardashain/Jenner last name is associated with a negative image and it may prove detrimental to her modeling career. "I am doing this for me, on my own. God, I love my family, but this is my thing, it's me," the Daily Mirror reports.

Many of her modeling stints are on display on the official Kendall Jenner Instagram and one of the most recent ones was a behind the scenes outtake from the Sunday Times Style. With the caption "coming soon! #SundayTimesStyle #BalmainArmy #BehindTheScenes @olivier_rousteing," Kendall teased her Instagram followers for the upcoming issue of The Sunday Times' Style Mag.

The 18 year old, who has 13 million followers on Instagram regularly posts her modeling photos on the official Kendall Jenner Instagram, but recently it was her older sister who posted sultry modeling photos of her. Kourtney Kardashian posted a black and white nude photo of Kendall Kardashian, where she is sporting messy hair and posing in a revealing manner. Kourtney accompanied the photo with the caption "Saturday muse." The photo got "liked" more than 400,000 times and had approximately 7,000 comments.

The 18 year old is really coming to her own as a model, walking the runway for the likes of Diane von Furstenberg's 2015 spring collection, with such top names as Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, and businesswoman/socialite Ivanka Trump. In keeping with her decision to distance herself from her uber famous family, Kendall even goes as far as to ask members of her family to not be present during her runway shows. She has reportedly asked her sister Kim Kardashian -- who is the most famous personality in the family, to refrain from being in the audience for the Marc Jacob show in February.
