Kendall Jenner Declined Fashion's Night Out Gig Because She Had School

See, this is why you can't hire teenagers in fashion.

After news that her 14-year-old sister Kylie will be walking the runway for Abbey Dawn during New York Fashion Week, 15-year-old Kendall Jenner must back out of a commitment she made to work at Fashion's Night Out... because she couldn't get out of school.

The New York Post reports that Jenner, younger sister to Kim Kardashian, was offered $20,000 to host a Fashion's Night Out event in NYC. "She was interested but she had to back out because she couldn’t get out of school," a source said.

How quaint -- did something like school ever stop her tabloid-trailblazing older siblings, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney? We don't think so. But it just goes to show you that there are, indeed, some downsides to hiring young teens to work Fashion Week.

Already the CFDA recommended that this Fashion Week, which begins today, models should be carded before hitting the runway to ensure they are at least 16.

Kylie will prove exception to the rule, of course, by walking the runways for Avril Lavinge's collection. But thankfully there's at least one teen that fashion won't have to keep an eye on this Fashion Week.

Kendall, we implore you: stay in school.

She is a Jenner. Stop pimpimg the K name. I bet this pisses off Bruce. And not to mention its disrespectful. To him and his daughters. Good for you girl. I am happy you have a father who is teaching you right. We know its not the mother. Look at the other 4 kids. And look at all of Bruce's kids.

You realize you're talking about a minor here? Go back into your mom's basement.

She's smart and getting good career advice- too many of them on the market. All Kendall Jenner has to do is get with Ken Jennings for some KenJen (trademark) stay-in-school promos and wait 3 years, then she can emerge the new young one while her sisters sell maternity wear and kardashian kreamed korn. She probably has several watches worth 20K so she has the time.

Good for her. Too bad for modeling...she is far prettier than any of her sisters.

Kylie is participating and she's only 14 - new CFDA guidelines recommends that models be carded before walking the runway to ensure that they are at least 16. This policy is to ensure the health and welfare of young models -take note Kris Jenner who is hellbent on pimping out the next two kids. The CFDA care more about Kylie than you do!

Why does the headlines say she is a Kardashion when she is a Jenner???????

[Aesthete]

02:37 PM on 09/09/2011

...because she is a half-sister to the Kardashians and therein lies a connection. The media did the same thing with the Kennedy name even though Ethel Kennedy's troubling nephew was of no blood relationship to the Kennedys.

If the Republican dominated Congress does not obstruct Obama`s job plan, the country can move forward.

but they will they can't help themselves the only way to move forward is to vote the Tea Bagging/GOP out of office.

while i agree (and i am not trying to start a fight)... what's this have to do with Kendell Jenner? this is the style section not politics.

Politics is mainly style over substance.

Going to school is the one thing this poor girl can do to seperate herself from her sisters.

Very prudent of her.
