At Thursday afternoon’s Calvin Klein show, Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Zoë Kravitz mingled backstage ahead of taking their seats in the front row.
It’s the end to this interminably long New York Fashion Week, and Jenner is looking forward to getting some rest soon. “I’m not walking shows in London,” she said matter-of-factly. She did walk Vera Wang’s show earlier in the week, which her sister Kylie took in from the front row. “It’s always really cool to have your family watch you whenever, and it doesn’t happen very often so when it does it’s exciting,” Jenner said.
She began fashion week with the launch of her line with Kylie, and later last week was front and center for brother-in-law Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 presentation. “It was really awesome, it was something we were all super excited for,” she said. “With him, he can tell you what it’s going to be about but you never know what to expect, so it was just a really amazing show.”
Her methods to surviving the fashion madness include “sleeping as much as I can, keeping yourself energized, eating well…I don’t know, just keeping yourself healthy.”
While Kershaw — who appears alongside Jenner in the brand’s just-unveiled spring campaign — has been easing up on her show schedule (she’s moving in the acting direction as of late), she told WWD she keeps NYFW in perspective by keeping a relaxed mind-set. “I like a glass of wine, I like a hot bath,” she said. “But I’m not walking shows right now so it’s much easier for me. It’s a different thing, you know,” she said, motioning to the Champagne glass and pack of cigarettes in her left hand.
Also milling about backstage was Aussie actress Robbie, who was taking in her first Calvin Klein show. “I’m not really too heavily involved in fashion week, but I’ve been to shows in the past and have always enjoyed it,” she said. “It’s kind of like being in an art gallery where you don’t move and everyone moves around you — it’s so different from what I normally experience.”
She’ll appear next in the highly anticipated comic-book film “Suicide Squad,” costarring Cara Delevingne, Will Smith, Jared Leto and Ben Affleck. “It’s going to be nuts,” she said. “I know about as much as everyone else at this point. I haven’t seen a cut of it so I have no idea what to expect, other than that when we shot it, it was one of the most insane things I’ve ever been a part of. So I’m pretty sure that will translate to the screen and everyone will hopefully be blown away by how different it is.”
