When it comes to the Kardashian clan, the youngest member, Kylie Jenner, tends to be somewhat overlooked. With her sister, Kendall, a top internatio­nal model grabbing campaigns, catwalks and covers like no one’s business, and her three half-sisters — Kim, Khloe and Kourtney — collective­ly scoring thousands of column inches for their style/relationsh­ips/ Instagrams (delete as appropriat­e), it’s safe to say the 17-year-old is the lesser-known of the troop.

But Love magazine is about to change that, having enlisted Kylie to undergo a dramatic transforma­tion at the hands of photograph­er Steven Klein and stylist Simon Robbins.

Jenner wears a mix of current and archive Miu Miu and Prada in the ‘motel-mattress mini-dystopia’ shoot, which accompanie­s an interview in which Jenner talks about growing up with the eyes of the world watching her, thanks to her family’s much-watched reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashian­s.

Of her most famous sister, Kim Kardashian, Kylie admits she’s partial to a bit of wardrobe theft.

“I usually just steal them, and she gets mad all the time,” she says of Kardashian’s bulging wardrobe. “She’ll let me borrow or whatever, but I always forget to tell her and she’s never home!”

She also touches on her personal style and love of blue hair, which caused friction at Kim’s wedding last year (Kardashian was allegedly horrified that it would appear in her wedding photos).

“To be honest, in the beginning they [the family] didn’t like it, they thought it was like crazy when I dyed my hair blue,” she says. “When I cut off my hair. And then when I dyed my hair black or whatever, they came to me and were like, “We miss the blue hair, this is crazy” and I was like, “I miss it too!” So now I feel like they appreciate that I’m the one that’s wild with my style.”

“I feel like I’m young, and I’m rocker punk one month and ghetto fab the next.”

Her sisters Kendall and Kim also appear in the issue.
