Can We All Calm Down About Kendall Jenner's Nipples at NYFW?

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday February 18, 201413 comments


One of the younger members of the Kardashian Klan, Kendall just turned 18. The aspiring-turned-legit model landed a huge runway show: she walked for Marc Jacobs this NYFW. When I first saw the photos, I thought THAT is Kendall? She looks chic. Sophisticated. Mature. High fashion. This girl was no reality tv star. Then my eyes wandered down and oh my - nips galore. 



Yup, Kendall bared her ladies lumps under a sheer top for Marc Jacobs and everyone and their mother is having a conniption fit. Well, everyone except me. I just don't see what the big deal is. 

Runways are used to seeing nipples, breasts and even further south. Fashion shows are a performance piece, they're not real life. Nobody is actually going to go walking down the street with glitter brows a la Chanel Fall 2012, so showing off some nip is no different. It's strictly an art piece, not reality. If say, Kendall was choosing to walk down the street, all 'no bra, no problem', I might have a strict word or two to say, but in this context, I don't feel like it's any different than a painting of a nude. While Kendall is barely legal, the fact is, she is 18 and showing off a little skin is perfectly acceptable. She's an adult who has made this decision for herself. 

I think we also need to point out that the light has only been on Kendall's ta-tas because of who she is. There are mannyyyy an 18 year old model who bare skin on the runway or in editorial that go unnoticed. And um, hey, have you noticed that Marc Jacobs is buzzing in the blogsphere? Jacobs was a smart man when he cast Kendall all nekkid like. He knew exactly what he was getting into. 

Bottom line: it's a boob. Get over it.

Yeah I don't get the freak out. All high fashion models reveal their nipples at some point and it's not sexual. It's about displaying the fashion and the aesthetic. Always has been.

I'm not going to lie I had a mini freak out when I first saw this because she was such a little Kardashian and now she's walking runways with her tatas showig. But you do make some awesome points she's only been using nudity as a way to express fashion and art so it is acceptable to some degree. At least she isn't following in the footsteps of her sister Kim!
