Kendall Jenner says she hopes walking for Marc Jacobs will "kick off" her career.

The younger half-sister of Kim Kardashian took to the runway for Marc's autumn/winter 14 show on Thursday, which closed New York Fashion Week.

She was barely recognisable on the catwalk, sporting a sophisticated short wig and flashing her bare breasts through a sheer top.

"I just recently turned 18, so this [Marc Jacobs show] is my big kick-off to start and grow my career," she told Into the Gloss.

"The New York fashion scene is crazy, madness, but I love the energy. I love everything about it - like the hair and make-up today, it's incredible. I've never had my eyebrows bleached; I don't even look like myself!"

Jenner's see-through V-neck top was tucked into a cropped pair of beige and brown trousers and the look was finished off with brown stockings and boots.

Previous modelling gigs for the brunette have included a front cover for Miss Vogue Australia and shoots for Sherri Hill's prom dress range alongside her 16-year-old sister Kylie.

"I'm a little nervous for the show, but I'm really excited," she admitted before hitting the catwalk.

"It's my first runway show, so I've been practising. I feel like everybody has their own individual walk, and that's what makes someone so special. Maybe I'll run down the runway! [Laughs]"
