'Kendall's powerful fan base and global reach will further amplify the current cultural conversation surrounding the Calvin Klein Jeans brand and highlight this exciting limited edition.'
In a statement made via Calvin Klein, Kendall said of her latest fashion foray: 'Modeling for Calvin Klein Jeans is really a dream come true. 
'I’ve grown up wearing the brand and seeing the iconic advertising in magazines and on billboards featuring some of the world’s top supermodels. To now be a part of that legacy is truly an honor.'
The campaign sees Kendall modeling a collection of casual clothing, from a pair of denim overalls, paired with a saucy black lace bra, to a cropped, hooded sweater and black jeans. 
And it's not just Kendall's beautiful features that the brand is putting to use - but also her impressive social media following. 
In addition to the print campaign, Kendall has already proved her allegiance to the brand by taking part in its ongoing #MyClavins campaign on Instagram, for which she shared several images of herself modeling some Calvin Klein underwear with her 21.8 million followers.

Earlier this month, the New York Post's Page Six reported that Kendall had been signed up as the new face - or body - of the brand.  
At the time, Calvin Klein refused to confirm the deal, but numerous sources told Page Six that Kendall would be featured front and center in the label's next campaign.
Certainly, the fashion and underwear label had already been getting a lot of support from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star who Instagrammed numerous pictures of herself in its iconic tighty whities with the hashtag 'My Calvins'.
Last year Justin Bieber, whom Kendall has been romantically linked to in the past, was named as the face of the brand's jeans.
His saucy pics in various states of undress with model Lara Stone sent Beliebers into a tail spin. 
It also created a little bit of controversy for the star with unflattering images claimed to be the un-edited originals of him released.

The pictures were later revealed to be fake, with the actual campaign shots determined to be all Justin.
Kendall - who has been busy in Paris modelling for everyone from Chanel to H&M - is already the face of Estée Lauder, a brand which also hailed her massive social media standing when announcing that they had signed her up as their newest campaign star. 
'I just want to be the best me I can be, so having the power that social media has, I think that just seeing how many people care about you, and seeing how many people want to watch what you're doing, it just really makes you want to do the best you can do,' she said at the time of the announcement. 
'I just feel so incredibly blessed.' 
It's been a very busy few weeks for Kendall who, after modeling in numerous fashion week shows around the globe, has just this month debuted a new video campaign for Estee Lauder, promoting their new Courreges collection, and appeared in a new shoot for the US edition of Vogue, in which she stars alongside her fellow Calvin Klein campaign star Justin, and best friend Gigi Hadid.
