Kendall Jenner drops last name to go by 'Kendall'

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Kendall Jenner has dropped her last name in the professional sphere.

The 18-year-old reality star will go by "Kendall" for all of her modeling work. Jenner's agency, The Society Management, already has her headshot labeled under the mononym.

"Everyone's making that such a big deal and I've actually been going by Kendall since last season," Jenner told E! News.

Jenner walked the runway for Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion Week in February, and made her haute couture debut for Givenchy and Chanel at Paris Fashion Week in March. The burgeoning model has appeared in Vogue Paris and U.S. Vogue, along with a number of other magazines. Jenner told the website modeling and her family's reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, helped to bring her out of her shell.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on E!.
