She's known for being a reality TV star, but Kendall Jenner's modelling career has certainly been skyrocketing.
Following the heels of her couture shoot for Harper's Bazaar Arabia, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is at it again with a feature in the latest US issue of Cosmopolitan.
And she couldn't be happier with her blossoming career, telling the magazine: 'Modeling is my number one priority – one hundred percent.'
Rising star: Kendall Jenner makes another mark in her modeling career with the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine
While her older sisters have starred in various reality show spin-offs, she has no intention of following suit. 'That’s not happening,' she says.
Kendall grew up on camera and has emerged as a breakout star in her own right with the help of her mother and manager Kris Jenner, who gets a 10 per cent cut of her daughters' various deals. (The mother-of-six recently came under scrutiny for sexualising Kendal and Kylie, 15, a claim she called ‘ridiculous’).
But she doesn't always enjoy fame, saying: 'The show [Keeping up With the Kardashians] brought us everything we have, and I realize that, but sometimes I just want to be left alone and be a normal kid for like five minutes. That’s tough when the paparazzi are chasing you.'
For her latest photo shoot, Kendall escaped her chaotic lifestyle for an imaginative outdoor series.
One snapshot captures the younger sister of Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian in a 70s-inspired ensemble, mixing prints with a sheer top and short shorts.

As she gazes into the camera, the starlet's eyes are concealed with retro style sunglasses, as her lips pop with a summery shade of pink.
The background of the shot gives a West Coast vibe, showcasing palm trees peek in the horizon.
Another image captures Kendall in a mod, checkered black-and-white number, revealing her lean, lengthy stems as she poses in white peep-toe pumps.
She appears to be in a backyard, standing on pebbles, as she places her hand on the nearby building to prop herself up.
Contrasting with the landscape is a red lounge chair, noticeably parked behind her.
The series also includes a photo of the sister of Kylie Jenner in a sparkling gold dress as she peers into a window, as well as a more age-appropriate snap of the model in a monochrome white top and shorts outfit.
Brightening up that picture is a pair of multicolored sandals and vibrant towels located in the backdrop, as well as a neon accent on her brimmed hat.
Along with the images, the Cosmo feature includes a personal interview in which Kendall also opens up about her teenage love life.
And when she needs advice about boys, she knows just who to turn to: 'Lamar [Khloe’s husband]. He is really good at giving guy advice.
'He always tells me to know my worth and never accept less than I deserve.'
Cosmopolitan in on newsstands in the US on April 9.
