Kendall Jenner stars on the cover of Harper's Bazaar in a couture shoot photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.

It is the second time Jenner has been photographed by multi-talented fashion designer and photographer Lagerfeld.

The shoot which appears in the May beauty special of Harper's Bazaar, sees Jenner model an impressive array of haute couture gowns from Chanel, Versace, Armani, Valentino, Margiela and Dior.

In an interview that runs alongside the shoot Jenner also opens up about her modelling career:

"I started this hoping that it would have longevity. I didn't come into this thinking it's going to be a fun thing that I'm going to do on the side."

"It's something I want to do my whole life. It's a career, so I needed to be gentle with it. We had to pick and choose things very specifically."

The reality-tv-star turned model who is half-sister to the Kardashian siblings is widely credited alongside the likes of Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid as one of the forerunners of the "Instagirls" generation of models.

Delevingne she describes as "amazingly crazy. We balance each other out. I chill her out and she makes me fun."

On her famous sisters' style she reveals it is Kim she looks up to most:

"I really admire Kim’s style. It’s insane. She really knows how to work her style with her body. I think she could be a major fashion icon. It’s so fun to be in Paris with her, but I’ll walk out and be like, “Oh, my God, I love my outfit,” and then I’ll see Kim and I’ll be like, “My outfit sucks compared to yours!”
