It seems that controversy always follows Kendall!
The second youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been receiving modeling offers left and right but one of her latest campaigns has gotten major backlash from the public. Spanish fashion house Mango signed Kendall as the new face of their “Tribal Spirit” campaign. This new collection is inspired by the rich and exotic culture of the African Savannah and features striking details that depict the tribal spirit of the African culture.
While Kendall’s name and popularity definitely pull in a large audience, she may not be the right model for this campaign. A lot of people felt strongly that a model of color should be representing an African-themed collection. People took to their social media accounts to express their outrage on this culturally insensitive choice but Mango stands by their decision.
