Kendall Jenner, who is Calvin Klein's ambassador, is reminiscing on her early days as a model. Jenner, 27, discussed one of her first photo shoots with E! News. She recalls that it took place in a Brooklyn-y warehouse. "I was such a kid. I think I was 17 or 18," Kendall says.

She notes, "I think back to those photos. I just am like, I'm such a baby from then 'til now. But it's always enjoyable. I love it." The Kardashians star made her transition from reality TV to modeling in 2011. She appeared in a runway show for Sherri Hill at 15 years old. Five years later, and she was already walking in high-fashion shows for the likes of Givenchy and Marc Jacobs.

Now, the model, who is rumored to be dating Bad Bunny, stars in this new "stripped back" campaign -- even posing topless in the black-and-white photos. She also discussed her relationship with Calvin Klein. Jenner says the team of photographers like Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are "family at this point."

She tells the publication, "The vibe is always really, really good. High energy. I love the pace that they work at. It's the pace that is conducive for me and we kind of bang it out. And it keeps the energy alive."
