....because she is the daughter of a former fashion icon, because the fashion industry glorifies youth and nepotism, because the amount of followers nowadays determine how many jobs you'll book.
Honestly, Kaia Gerber is no different than Kendall and Gigi.
But nepotism is not a bad thing...When you have something to bring to the table.
IMO she is closer to Kendall than Gigi. Remember that before Carine noticed her, Gigi wasn't really known. Personally, i didn't know who she was, her father's job or her mother's reality tv. The Hadid became known as models first and then, everything behind helped them to build that celebrity.
Kendall was a celebrity and her family used her celebrity to push her as a model.
Kaia is a daughter of an icon but coming from that world, i can't even say she is using her celebrity because the fashion world has always been part of her life.
What sets Kaia apart is that she is willing to do the job and has that something that a girl like Lottie Moss doesn't have.
Nepotism is sometimes good. Thanks to that we have people who did wonderful things.
Speaking of nepotism, Kendall's celebrity doesn't actually help her in the high fashion world. The reality is that brands prefers to be associated with the Hadid and Gerber who are cooler than with Jenner. Even if she is doing great, walking some cool shows and doing a lot of commercial work, high fashion is very difficult for her.
