Kim Kardashian is so proud of her little sister, Kylie Jenner, who walked in Avril Lavigne’s fashion show in NYC! The reality star looked on from the front row with a huge open-mouthed smile on her face when she saw her lil sis strut her stuff.
“Just left @AvrilLavigne’s fashion show w my lil sis @KylieJenner walking in it! She was so fab (sic),” Kim tweeted on Monday night. Kylie, 14, must have been so excited—and nervous—to get out on that runway and model during fashion week! Obviously her whole family was very proud of her!
Kim Kardashian is so supportive of her younger sisters. Both Kylie and Kendall have a special place in Kimmy K’s heart, and it’s almost like she is mentoring them in some way. She was such a mom(ager) sitting there watching Kylie! Abbie Dawn (the name of Avril Lavigne’s fashion line) tweeted a picture of Kim all smiles when she saw Kylie come down the runway.
In case you were wondering about the Kardashian-Jenner-Lavigne connection, Avril has been dating Brody Jenner, one of Bruce Jenner’s sons from a previous relationship. It’s all about who you know!

Kylie Jenner, the 14-year-old half sister of Kim Kardashian, defied efforts by the fashion industry to prevent underage models from walking in major fashion shows after she hit the catwalk for Avril Lavigne’s Abby Dawn line.
Designer Diane von Furstenberg and Steven Kolb, chief executive of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) are leading the campaign, which has been endorsed by Vogue magazine’s Anna Wintour.
The CFDA made it an official policy to “strongly” recommend that designers refrain from hiring models under the age of 16.
While there is no way to enforce the measure, several designers have pledged to follow the CFDA’s recommendation.
“We have received pledges from all the top modeling agencies, including DNA, Elite, Ford, IMG, Marilyn, New York, Next, One, Supreme, Trump, Wilhelmina and Women,” the non-profit group noted on its Web site.
But singer Lavigne clearly flouted the group and set a bad precedent for the industry.
Lavigne who supports animal rights, apparently stops short when those animals are underage girls.
If underage semi-celebrities can walk in a major show, it’s unfair to ban models who are often just starting out in their careers.
Kim, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian turned out to lend their support along with Kim’s husband Kris Humphries.
Kylie wore a black mini-dress with a tulle, ballerina-like overlay.
Lavigne, 26, designed the collection, which was presented at Style 360 in New York City yesterday (Sept. 12).
Lavigne is dating Kylie’s half-brother, Brody Jenner, and made a spot for her in the show.
She more likely cut a deal with the Kardashians to promote her fading music and clothes on their show.
