Leni Klum grew up with a supermodel mom. Now she’s building a career of her own
The 22-year-old daughter of Heidi Klum opens up about posing in lingerie, leaning on her mother as a mentor and trying to carve out a career of her own as she signs with IMG and lands a new Guess campaign
The nepo-baby trend has given rise to a new wave of young models in the fashion industry, many of whom are following in their mothers' footsteps. Leni Klum, 22, is one such example - daughter of supermodel Heidi Klum. Leni, along with her mother, has collaborated on various projects and appeared together in campaigns for Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi. The duo even walked the red carpet together at the Venice Film Festival in lingerie-inspired corset gowns that mirrored the brand's style.
Leni recently shared her thoughts on her modeling career with The Daily Front Row. She expressed her comfort with her body, crediting her mother's body positivity for making it easier for her to feel at ease in lingerie. The two have been modeling together since Leni was 18, when they shot their first campaign for Intimissimi. Leni and Heidi are more than just mother and daughter; they are also mentors and aspiring models supporting each other's careers.
Despite her famous lineage, Leni's career has not yet reached the heights of her mother's, unlike other nepo babies in fashion. However, this may soon change. Leni recently signed with reputable modeling agency IMG and has featured in a new campaign for fashion brand Guess.
