Kendall Jenner Covers Vogue Italia April, Talking Her Struggle and Lensed by Robin Galiegue AOC Fashion

Supermodel Kendall Jenner mannequins [yes, AOC is making it a verb] the April 2023 cover story of Vogue Italia. Kate Phelan styles Jenner in Burberry, Chloe, Dior, Fendi, Hermes, JW Anderson, Loewe, Max Mara, Prada and more for images by Robin Galiegue [IG].

In her own words, Jenner’s main focus is her mental health and not posing in a fashion magazine. “The beginning of the year was emotionally difficult.” Kendall Jenner, 27 years old in November, tells Vogue Italia. It’s not clear whether she means 2022 or 2023. I’m ᴀssuming 2022.

Kendall says that her period of difficult emotions is over and she is happy. You would never know it from these images, but there are some great sH๏τs on her IG where Kendall looks joyful.

If this fashion story is about “finally finding joy”, I am just lost.

“To come out and feel optimistic is reᴀssuring. Everything is temporary, I feel intensely grateful and happy, ready for what’s to come,” Kendall says, explaining that she is practicing “hope for something until it comes true, using the law of attraction.”

Apparently Kendall discusses her mental health practice on social media to her followers, although many trained mental health pracтιтioners would advise against the practice.

“I can only hope that I’m happy and continue on my journey to be the best version of myself.”

Kendall’s new chapter began with the American Vogue series, available on YouTube, ‘Open Minded’. It consists of four episodes in which Kendall confides and confers with experts, addressing issues such as anxiety, social media addiction and panic attacks.

In this episode — posted a year ago and not part of the Vogue italia interview but Kendall’s mental health is all about the interview —Kendall sits down with Dr. Jorge Partida, Chief of Psychology at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, to discuss social media addiction, our human need to feel connected, and how both of those things can contribute to feelings of anxiety.

Throughout the episode, Kendall and Dr. Partida discuss how to decrease social media addiction and tips for managing inferiority complexes that may develop from comparing our lives to those we see online.

Kendall feels very unfairly ‘judged’ by the savage [AOC’s word, not hers] comments that are made about her and her family.

I may watch the entire series of our episodes, wondering if it occurs to Kendall that much of the snark is not about her at all. As divided as our country is, as misogyny and racism are running rampant across America, as elites are under attack perhaps more than ever before, I wonder if Kendall ever steps away from herself — out of herself — in a way that I believe sister Kim Kardashian does.

When I read comments about them — and I do regularly trying to understand Americans as a group by reading comments — these negative comments come from people I have little respect for.

In the case of the Kardashians, it’s a big league of people who loathe them . . . from all corners of the population.
