Move over, Kim, Kourtney and Khloé. The famous trio's 15-year-old sis Kendall Jenner has just landed her first big-time modeling gig.

The young Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is the new face of fashion line MARCC.

The budding fashionista's latest photo shoot didn't involve any bikini-baring shenanigans, but...

The new campaign does feature Kendall in some hot pants and colorful bold makeup. She's striking fierce poses while rocking pieces from MARCC's Spring/Summer collection of T-shirts, bow-tie brooches and trendy foxtail accessories.

"I've worked with a lot of models so working with Kendall was a breeze," brand designer Marc Clark told us earlier today. "She knows how to move, she knows her angles, and she photographs really well. We had a blast on set."

The shoot took place late last month at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles. (FYI: We asked, but Clark declined to tell us how much Kendall was paid.)

So does Kendall really have what it takes to make it in the fashion world?

"I think she has longevity as a model," says Clark, who's previously worked with celebs like Rihanna and Will.i.am. "She stands 5-foot-10. She's very tall. When you see her, the first image you think is not even a celebrity, or a Kardashian or a Jenner. I think model... She has that model presence."
