Kendall Jenner has revealed her first ad for Fendi on Instagram, and though 1.1million people 'liked' the picture, it seems her fashion fans do not.

Shot by Karl Lagerfeld, the ad shows the 19-year-old model wearing a large fur coat, clutching a light pink Fendi bag.

Commentators on The Fashion Spot called it 'hands down the worst Fendi campaign I've seen in a while'.

Another added: 'The lighting is on another whole new level of cheapness,' while someone else complained it is a 'great collection ruined by a horrible campaign and a bad model'.

One more commenter chimed in: 'The make-up doesn't suit her... needs someone with cheekbones!!'

Another fashion fan explained bluntly: 'There is no tension in her body. She just stands there. It really bugs me. 

'It's almost the 50th anniversary of Karl at Fendi and this is no way to celebrate. That house deserves more and Kendall deserves nothing. She's not a model. Period.'

Some in the fashion world are up in arms about Fendi's latest ad campaign, but say what you want about Kendall Jenner, she has a fan in Karl Lagerfeld. The Kaiser has been her greatest advocate of late, placing her in both Chanel couture and Fendi's fall ready-to-wear shows. And the veteran and storied designer can't be all wrong.

We love the way she looks in this multicolored puffer coat, holding her own against any professional walker in the industry. Check out the entire Fendi collection on Style.com

Meanwhile, even in the throws of a hot summer, we're already dreaming of our fall wardrobes, puffers particularly. So we've rounded up some options below. We're taken with Moschino's plaid puffer coat at Shopbop and are in love with the bargain buy by 32 Degrees at Macy's. Is it just us, or does that model look like Kendall, too?

Despite the criticisms, many believe Kendall is the next runner up for a Chanel campaign - following in the footsteps of Cara Delevingne and Blake Lively.

'The 19-year-old already appeared in the campaign for Karl's eponymous line and now that she's fronting Fendi, the only thing left is for her to get a Chanel campaign! And she WILL! What's left? Basically an American Vogue cover,' wrote Perez Hilton.

Indeed, Kendall has she walked every Chanel runway since fall 2014 - and just last week closed the Chanel Couture Show as the famous bride. 

The reality star also features in a newly-released lingerie campaign for Calvin Klein, which sees her posing topless in one shot, while in others she can be seen modeling a black lace bra.

Also in the campaign are Joan Smalls, Isabeli Fontana and Edita Vilkeviciute. 

Speaking to WWD about the shoot she said: 'It was super fun. Every girl loves posing in her underwear. It’s always fun to do that.'I’m close with Joan, and me and all the girls are friends.'

The campaign features individual portraits of the models who are all wearing an assortment of embroidered lace sling balconettes, chemises and bodysuits which are designed to enhance the cleavage. 

Sorry fashion critics, it looks likes she's here to stay for a while longer.
